AQA SCY4: How did it go?

I've just done the Religion paper.
My hands are still shaking =| I found it... horrible. I've messed up completely on the 8 Mark and 12 mark question... wrote 2 and half pages for 8 Marks and 4 pages for 12 Marks! Oops! :redface:

I worte 7 pages for the essay, I did Question 5 to do with the 'Conservative Force and Force for Social Change' but according to my teacher, everyone's probably done it wrong... which is nice to know! :s-smilie:

Ah well, what's done is done, I guess.
Hope everyone else's SCY4 went well.

Well, I wrote 7 pages for the essay, so hopefully I've got something right!
I just didn't like the 8 & 12 mark, they were the horrible bits in my opinion. Ah well.

They couldn't have been more generous with the questions - I'm a little worried about my essay question though!! I crammed so much knowledge into that I hardly evaluated or anything.

Also, first question, I put that "believing without belonging" was by Barker.. it was by Davie! Oops.

Question 4a - Religious belief - basically secularisation
Question 4b - Fundamentalism
Question 5 - Force for change/conservative force over time...

Anyone do question 6? You'd have to be adventurous to!

Thought it went okay. Took me a while to get my head around b but was just basically about secularisation in the end.

Not a bad paper...key word in question 5 was 'was'....was lots of evaluation available there!

Marshall 4A? was not on secularisation was it? it was on methodolgical problems wasnt it?

Reply 17

MarshallM

Well 4a was something along the lines of "why has religious belief declined" wasn't it?

My two points were:
Believing without belonging - Davie.
Anddd that statistics are inaccurate so you can't measure properly.

I could be wrong though...

I think you're right

would these answers be correct

difficult to define religion in the first place - theorists define it differently - therefore has an impact on measurement as you can not compare the definitions

defficult to find a suitable method

defficult to find a time that was even religious

religion is an emotive topic - not always observable

This was my 4A answer? is this ok? i did obviously write explanations for all of them, just did not write them on here. because you all get what im saying
