Question 14

XH-B1MCQ1 markNeeds review
The following passage consists of 6 sentences. The first and sixth sentences of the passage are at their correct positions, while the middle four sentences (represented by 2, 3, 4, and 5) are jumbled up. Choose the correct sequence of the sentences so that they form a coherent paragraph:
Most obviously, mobility is taken to be a geographical as well as a social phenomenon.
Much of the social mobility literature regarded society as a uniform surface and failed to register the geographical intersections of region, city and place, with the social categories of class, gender and ethnicity.
The existing sociology of migration is incidentally far too limited in its concerns to be very useful here.
Further, I am concerned with the flows of people within, but especially beyond, the territory of each society, and how these flows may relate to many different desires, for work, housing, leisure, religion, family relationships, criminal gain, asylum seeking and so on.
Moreover, not only people are mobile but so too are any ‘objects’.
I show that sociology’s recent development of a ‘sociology of objects’ needs to be taken further and that the diverse flows of objects across social borders and their intersections with the multiple flows of people are hugely significant.
