General studies A2 today

I hated it, I couldnt write loads, question 2 was Ok, but question 1

Did anybody do OCR general studies: making connections paper? I thought it was quite easy, but i think it's hit and miss really.

I did the connections paper, gosh everyone finding it easy, I really hated it.

yeah i did AQA today as well. did 'effect of computer technology on arts' one and 'what is genetically modified food' - did a whole module on genetics in biology last year, yay! i got so bored though, and really needed a wee.

which ones did ya do i did, the SARS one n stereotypes

how did ya find it, twas so stoopidly easy, it really does take the piss! AQA

What did people talk about in the SARS one?

Well I do a "microbes and disease" module in biology, so I talked about stuff like vaccination and what it does to the immune system, and about antibiotics and why they don't work on viruses.

Also general stuff like quarantine, hygeine, preventing things like water supply contamination.


Anyone who did "stereotypes", I think I got a bit carried away! I started going on about the BNP stereotyping immigrants as terrorists in their european election publicity material, then about hitler stereotyping jews, then about americans stereotyping black people in the time before martin luther king, and talking about the flaws in the legal system that it caused...

(also threw in some stuff about how the media use stereotypes in comedy, thought I'd put in SOMETHING lighthearted...)
