Old Higher Modern Studies - 2014 to 2015

In the 2009 paper, there was a fairly unique question for China asking about how economic freedoms has led to less demand for political reform. I reckon if I had done the exam in 2009, I would have really struggled with the question.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any less well-known sections of the course for the topics, or areas that people tend to overlook that could be asked about in the exam?

They could technically ask about a lot of weird stuff. For example about US state and local government specifically, and they could ask about specific elections like "what does the 2014 European Parliament election tell us about voting behaviour?". They know no-one is going to answer these questions well so they avoid them but sometimes weird stuff slips through and it probably just leads to a lower grade boundary.

Old Higher here. Does anyone think any Electoral system questions may pop up? My teacher has predicted the essay q's for this year, and he seems to get them right almost every year. But i cant put my trust into him as it's the last year of the old higher which means the SQA might pull a couple of tricks out their sleeves, i.e. that awful old higher (and new) maths paper. Any help, will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Does anyone think welfare state will come up in wealth & health? It doesn't come up very often and came up last year so I'm hoping it won't

Don't think it will it came up last year so unliekly i think it will be lifestyle effecting health and government attempts to tackle wealth

Yeah that sounds pretty likely

what else are people predicting will come up?

I posted some advice on page 1 about paper 2
What do you mean backbench mps? Or is is that not devolved decision making

– To what extent does the welfare state still meet its original aims?

My teacher also believes the voting behavior will come up, she also thinks an "incomes impact on health" question will come up

im guessing for china its going to be an opposing the ccp question but who knows they could pull a random question considering physics and maths this year ;(

Does anyone have an essay for links between income and health?
