I don't know what will come up, lol. I was thinking Environmental Ethics/Business Ethics, Sexual Ethics, Virtue Ethics and Freewill and Determinism, but that combo has come up before :frown:

I definitely think that Environmental/Business Ethics and Sexual Ethics are going to come up because they didn't come up in January this year which is strange because they seem to come up all the time. I'm really scared about doing this exam because one of out teachers has been absent for months and we've hardly gotten through any work :frown:

I hope free will and determinism comes up. Enviroment/business ethics would be good ebcause there's quite a lot to talk about on them as it's applied ethics.

I'm sitting this on the 31st too. I think conscience will come up because it has only come up twice since the specimen was changed (that's 2/5 papers). Other than that they haven't actually asked a question on specifically business for the environmental and business ethics section since June 2010.

I'm only question guessing so I may be totally wrong. Also, does anybody have the ethics questions that were in the January exam? I'd really appreciate having them

I got a feeling about conscience. Also in the examiner reports for jan 12, it was reported to have been done very badly.

And i have uploaded the jan 12 paper for ethics.

I think Conscience has come up 3 times and the last time Business Ethics was Jan 11. Well, the questions was "The environment suffers because business has no ethics." Discuss. I think that's Business Ethics anyway. I still think that it will come up though because the exam likes to contain topics I dislike or haven't revised and I haven't even been taught Business Ethics so it'll come up, lol! I prefer Environmental ethics though :frown:

Ooooh. That's a good point. I remember reading an examiners' report and it seeing that the Falsification Principle was done badly and it came up in January. I need to revise Conscience then :frown:

Thanks for the papers :smile:

It seems like they put a business ethics of sex ethics question in every paper. I really dislike those ones, I'm hoping conscience, freewill and meta-ethics come up. But like you said, doubt they will if I want them to

Hey all

We were talking about how hard virtue and meta ethics and decided that because there are so many topics that could come up some of us are just not going to bother learning meta or virtue ethics.
