For the Equality unit, can anyone think of 3 points for a part d) Explain how Christians might respond to inequality...apart from protesting, e.g martin luther king jr. etc.?

• work with organisations that oppose equality such as Salvation Army
• join organisations that work against euality like amnety international

tbh i would say these points are the same thing but they are written as 2 in the text book
sorry i couldn't give you another, i'm doing this off the top of my head

We've been told that it's all about evaluating everything and picking holes in arguments whilst agreeing, disagreeing and giving your own opinion about the original statement.

Oh thanks , what are all of your personal opinions on animal testing? I personally dont know my personal opinion tbh so I'm kinda worried incase an animal testing part e) comes up ^^

[MacDaddi]

Good Luck everybody! e) part answer strucure
1.Intro
2.For
3.Against.
4.Christian View + Bible Quote
5. Different Christian view + Bible Quote
6. Personal Opinion and Conclusion.

Make sure at the end of every paragraph you relate it back to the question. EG:

...So abortion is wrong as it is killing and killing is not only breaks the 6th comandment, it breaks the law as well.

I don't doubt that this works for many people, but my advice to others would be to incorporate points 4 and 2 together, and points 5 and 3 together. I personally struggle with time, but that sort of abridged structure seems to get me 11 or 12 every time - so maybe consider this structure if you are short of time.

Point + Development + Exemplification (a quote) = 3 marks.
Just do that twice, with two different points I would imagine.

i left out war and peace and poverty and wealth, got a two hour exam tommorow and really worried about finishing in the time period, plus the fact that if the twelve mark question is horrible i'm going to really struggle, SO SCARED
any ideas what might come up? for instance the jan 2012 paper had lots about roles of men and women so unlikely to come up again?

This set up seem really good. I'd advise anyone sitting the exam tomorrow to practise a couple of example questions tonight and try to get your timing right. 4 sets of q's in 2 hrs! Scary.
For those worrying about quotes (for xtian only), remember the basic quotes such as "Love you neighbour", "Love your enemy", made "in the image of God", "blessed are the peacemakers", "eye for an eye" (and the whole world would be blind - Luther-King). Don't need to worry about where it comes from (biblically), but would be handy to know if it's Old Testament or New. If you need any more quick back-up quotes message me.

For the d) answer, I'd use a similar layout to the 12, only shorter. Include quotes for d), and own opinion. Just think of the 6 mark as half of the 12 (duhh). Be careful not to go over board on the 6 mark either, you want about 15-20 mins on the 12mark!!

Don't ever try to guess. Some years they'll just copy some of last years q's to throw you! Just know your stuff and you'll be fine!

6 markers you only have to do Xtian attitudes towards things. So you miss out the for and against reasons and just jump straight in to the Xtian para's and just miss out the personal opinion.

You need to include viewpoints which are not religious in your answer, so I would not concentrate on the Xtian attidutes so much.

Did you do the Jan 2012 paper? How do you know there was a lot about roles of men and women? If you're right, I LOVE YOU. The part e) in June 2011 was about roles as well and thats my worst topic so its very likely there wont be much in this one.

OOO Exam is tomorrow guys. Everyone feeling prepared? I am mainly

[gayboy1231231]

Anyone here focusing on Islam, if so i have found some quotes which may help you...



Treatment of Animals “It is God who provided you with all the livestock, so that you may ride on some and some you derive your food.”

“Not one leaf falls off a tree unless pre-ordained by Allah.”

“To Allah belongs the kingdoms of the heavens and earth, He creates what he pleases.”

There is not an animal on earth, nor a bird flying on its wings, but they are communities like you”

Abortion + Contraception

“To Allah belongs the kingdoms of the heavens and earth, He creates what he pleases.”

“Not one leaf falls off a tree unless preordained by Allah.”

“Do not take life which Allah has made sacred, Unless in the course of justice.”

“Allah bestows females and males upon whom he pleases, or he mixes them and makes whom he pleases barren.”


Equality, Men and Women

“Men are in charge of women by right of what Allah has given one over the other.”

“And of his signs are the creation of the heavens and earth and the diversity of your language and colour.”

Euthanasia + Suicide

“Not one leaf falls off a tree unless preordained by Allah.”

“Do not take life which Allah has made sacred, Unless in the course of justice.”

Marriage and Divorce

“Of all the lawful acts the most detestable to Allah is divorce.”

“Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty”

D questions don't credit personal opinions, as they are 'describe' or 'explain' rather than 'evaluate' questions. So, its probably inefficient to include own opinions. Rather than doing half an 'e' question, I'd try for two 'c's - the OCR mark schemes credit three marks for Point + Development + Quote. One paragraph on a liberal christian view, one on a conservative christian view should neatly net you the 6 marks.

I forgot to mention that I'm atheist, so a non-religious view point is always incorporated into my 'personal opinion'. A statement such as 'I, like many atheists' seems to encompass both areas well enough so that I'm not penalised. Wouldn't stray too far off the 'refer to Christianity in your answer' though, because lack of evidence and quotation is penalised.

Piece of Advice! Start part E first! If you tend to get carried away with the other questions and lose track of time like i've done before, do part E!

lol, good luck everybody!
