Just having a cheeky look over past papers, and this question caught my eye:
'Our ethical decisions are merely the result of social conditioning.’ Discuss.'
At first I thought... Standard question on the conscience, bring in a bit of Piaget, cheeky bit of Fromm here and there, compare them to religious ideas, evaluate and Bob's your turtle, A grade, go to uni, become a millionaire.
But HOLD ON WHAT'S THIS I thought (out loud)
Is this asking about free will and determinism? :O :O
Hence my confusion... I know you can lose a lot of marks for misunderstanding the question, so wondering what the kind, sexy peeps in TSR think of this

Just looked at the mark scheme, and it seems like a cross between free will and determinism, and conscience. So you can talk about Piaget and Kohlberg, Freud and Intuitionism, as well as soft determinism, hard determinism, and libertarianism.

That sounds to me like an opportunity to discuss hard determinism and the illusion of freedom, as well as the issue of conscience.
