AQA Religious studies RST4C; Ways Of Moral Decision Making, June 17th 2015

I'm doing this exam too! Pretty sure there aren't any 8 mark questions? Just 45 and 30 :smile:

Which other A2 exam are you doing alongside 4C?

any predictions?

Or two purely religious questions.

How can the other question be religious? Natural law based?

How would that work? I thought only the first questions were about religion and the second questions were about ethics/ethical systems

I was under the same impression, I prefer the ethical theories question so was depending on just learning that..

Can someone just clarify..

As someone else said, deontological is possible

Also a question that just asks about ethics is likely

'Examine the major ethical issues which arise from either medical research/developments or business practices/economics.' came up in 2011 and I wouldnt be surprised if something similar came up this year

I'm hoping they've just got confused, I was depending on just doing the ethical questions too.

I looked at the specification and it looks like religious ideas and the ethical theories are two separate things :smile:

No.

You can be asked about religious ethical systems.

Examine how __________________ theories can help make moral decisions (in medical research and development)
options to fill in the gap can be:
religious ethical
deontological
teleological
hybrid

For deontological, what else would you use apart from Kant and DCT?

So by religious ethical systems you mean Christian ethics/ natural law?
You woudnt include conscience would you? I don't see that as a system
