Examine the significance for self, others and society of a sporting event, a physical activity, or a festival
This standard asks you to examine why a sporting event, physical activity, or festival matters—to you personally, to people around you, and to society at large. You'll explain how sociological factors (like culture, economics, history, and ethics) shape the significance of your chosen event or activity, and support your thinking with evidence like research, examples, or personal accounts.
You explain what makes your chosen event or activity significant for self, others, and society, referencing relevant sociological factors and supporting your points with some evidence.
You provide full and thorough explanations of significance, consistently supported by strong evidence (research, quotations, examples), showing clear understanding of how multiple sociological factors interconnect.
You critically analyse the interrelationships between sociological factors and significance, explicitly identifying assumptions, discussing who is advantaged and disadvantaged, weighing multiple perspectives, and making well-supported judgements.
