Question
Evaluate the social and political impact of industrialization in one country.
Markscheme
Candidates will make an appraisal of the social and political impact of industrialization in one country. While both the social and political implications of industrialization must be dealt with in the response, the treatment of each does not necessarily have to be equal. Candidates may choose to deal with social and political implications separately and possibly conclude that the impact of one or other was more significant. Alternatively, candidates may deal with the question thematically and gauge how individual issues, for example the migration from countryside and the proliferation of factories had a social and/or political impact. There may also be an attempt to deal with the issues chronologically, with candidates possibly suggesting that the social impact of industrialization was a contributory factor to political change.
