Higher Modern Studies 2012-13: Discussion and Help Thread

There could but i don't know what you could put in that, think that would be pretty hard

have you got the success guide? theres two pages on that which suggests they co operate through legislative consent motions and conflict would be about immigration/foreign affairs/education/Dawn Raids/Justice.

id struggle to think of what else to say on co operation though :P

I just hope theres not a question on critically examine the role of first minster or something....

Really? I would love a question to do with the role of the first minister or MSPs etc find them so much easier than the relationship between Westminster and the Scottish parliament for example! :biggrin:

I've seen a few posts on a few different threads saying that for health and wealth there could be a question on lifestyle choices. I was wondering if anyone could give me an example of what that question could be :smile:

You see for the Health and Wealth question;

“Health and Welfare provision should be the responsibility of government. Discuss”

What arguments are you trying to balance exactly? I don't actually understand the question to be honest, has anyone written this one? :frown:

It does a bit! It's come up twice in the last 6 years though.
DME in the prelim was our nab - it was about introducing free school meals for all, I think... :biggrin:

Can't really remember!

In 2010 exam question was about lifestyles choices which was.
Individual lifestyle choices limit/affect good health more than any other factor.

Hope this helps :smile:

Also, do you by any chance have any Health and Wealth essays plans - literally anything except the effect of wealth on health?

I do the Africa Topic as well, my teacher said it could be social or political, but more likely to be political. Last it was Aid ( Economical) so that (kind of) ruled that out this year. I do South Africa, and its more likely to be Social and Economic this year so NOT Political, therefore, if there were to put one political question in the paper it could be highly likely that they'll put it in th African Theme.

How about you, what predictions have you got?
