What do you think of my answer?
Liberals perceive equality in different ways. However all fundamentally believe that humans are naturally unequal as humans have different abilities and potentialities when they are born , but liberals believe that everyone should have the same rights, bringing the idea of equal opportunities.

Classical liberals generally believe in the idea of natural rights which refers to God given right every human is entitled t. For example john Locked stated that every human is entitled to 'life,liberty and property'. However classical liberals believed that that inequalities in wealth, social position and political powers was inevitable as William summer stated ' the drunkard in the street is where he ought to be' also regarding political equality, mill believed that those who were educated and owned property should have more votes than those who didn't . However by the end of the 19th century, modern liberals recognised that some individuals were born with dissadvantages that could not be overcome by their own efforts, to overcome this inequality the idea of equal opportunity was introduced, which entailed the state removing obstacles that hold individuals back, like education and healthcare. This characterises the modern liberals ideas of equality which is an emphasis that people should be treated equally in society regardless of their; age, gender, disability, class ect. This contrasts with the social view which is concerned instead with the equality of outcome.

In find the socialism and conservatism ones tend to be comparing past and present ideas, fascism tends to be most significant factor type questions.

For the neoliberalism I wrote about how they are simialr economies wise used Hayek etc. Then I talked about how new right also has a focus on populism and actually affected welfare more under thatcher etc. What did people put for conservatism? I grouped it as different views on state and economy, state and crime and state and welfare. I went from Disraeli to Cameron etc and used philosophers and examples etc. What did everyone else put? The 10 markers were good though

So surprised at all your reactions! I literally crammed Conservatism and Socialism late last night, and everything I revised came up, in what I would describe as marvellous questions!

All will be fine, don't worry.

That all sounds good! I wrote about all sorts for the Conservatism part B, I spoke about Burke, the need for security. I also mentioned about representing people, and referred to Oakeshott and G.K Chesterton. I also spoke about Paternalism, and the ruling elite being wiser/better equipped to do what is best for the country..

Probably was all wrong, but I felt the exam went really well in general.

How did you find the exam in general?
