OCR GCSE ETHICS EXAMS 1 AND 2 B603/04 Post- Exam Discussion (15th May 2012)

that was sooo hard!! i wrote about peaceful protests and boycotts- like martin luther king, probably wrong :/

Religion, Poverty and Wealth:

a) What is an 'immoral occupation'?
b) Give two moral occupations.
c) Describe one Christian view about wealth. (HELP! Not sure!)
d) Explain what Christians might believe about how money can be misused.
e) "Religious people cannot be wealthy"

what did you guys put for these and did anyone do the paper b589?

b589? Are you sure this is your exam? Is that a different spec or sumting?

d) Explain what Christians might believe about how money can be misused.

They don't require much detail at all. But the amount you give is no way near enough. You basically just need a line per point; not much at all. You gave barely a line. Just look at the markscheme answers my friend. I did the philosophy papers in year 11 and got full marks; I know what is needed!

Could someone elaborate on this question, did not answer this

I didn't actually provide any sample answer, so your mistaken.
I think that your luck in an exam has given you way too much confidence. You havn't seen the mark scheme and you are in no position to tell others how many marks they've received.
I hope you fail and get the confidence knock you so rightly deserve.
There may well be answers in previous mark schemes. However, there are always marks awarded for relevant content in the answer. You could have simply elaborated on 3 religious quotes to receive your marks.

what did everyone put for the 12 marker in ethics 2?? "religious people have a duty to convert other people to their religion" - or w/e it was?????

Well it is not your opinion that matters really. The fact that they are different sections shows how it is different and more importantly the examiners believe and will follow that it is different. Enough arguing about it now; you have lost the marks just accept it.

There is nothing you can do about it now; I am sure you will still have done alright!

There was an instruction on the answer booklet about ruling off after each answer. Does this mean after each individual answer, or each collective 'abcde' question?

Either way, I totally forgot about that...so does anyone know how the scripts are marked (and whether mine will be disqualified for this?). I did number my questions in the margins, with 4a, 4b, etc.

Some people. I have not seen a single incorrect answer in this thread. I am completely confident I will have got 3 marks. This is what I put:

Peaceful protesting against any inequality which arises in a community.
Civil disobedience until the inequality has stopped.
Take an active role by leading a campaign, such as Martin Luther King Jr or campaigning on the Internet.

You still haven't answered about the difference between respond to and work against. Therefore, I think education could be doubtful, even though I am sure you will still get a great grade, regardless of whether it counts or not.
