I don't understand, why are people so "short-sighted" in this matter and only perceive what they want and refuse any other possibility which may actually the truth.
All people say is "Oh philosophy is so easy it's just ******** and it's so easy i could get an A* in it" and i'm sat here wanting to crush their thick heads in. How can you be so ignorant, yes some a level will be easier than other but not far from other a level subjects.
I would've said(back then) "if it's so easy then why didn't you take it and get an A* in it then?" then they probably would've given me some ******** reason why they don't want to do it.
In any case where they obviously don't want to do it, that's fine because you have other prospects which you want to do and other jobs/courses/dreams you wanna pursue. However you can't just say a subject is "********" just because you think that. Especially with subjects you must try them before you have an opinion on them.
Why do people not say "oh English is just ******** all you have to do is waffle on and then it's easy to get an A*" why do i never hear this being said? Philosophy is so much more difficult than English. Philosophy you must have knowledge facts and justification and many examples to back up your claim, English however (i heard from my philosophy teacher who had a degree in English lit) said that you can literally just know almost nothing about the texts, waffle on write a huge essay and still get a good grade. Like i said philosophy you can't do that.
TL: DR People think philosophy is ******** at first glance and refuse to change their opinion about it. If people say that it's so easy to get an A* in philosophy then why don't they do it and get an A*? Why don't people criticise English for being "********" ? it's much worse than philosophy and you can write a huge waffle essay on almost no knowledge of texts yet you can still get top grade whereas you cannot do that with philosophy.
