My teacher gave me a list yeah
Where does everyone think the 20 marker will come up, I think it'll be international issues but have a feeling it might not which is making me worried as my teacher told me just to do 20 markers for international issues :frown:
Definitely international issues, just don't know how to tackle the example questions..

I've always said international issues. The fantastic part is, you really will be asked about the causes, impact or attempts to resolve the issue. Most of your facts can spread across each essay. All about manipulating the question.

Government policies for world issues came up in this years specimen... is it worth studying? I have a feeling Human Rights will come up!

Do it just in case. I recon causes might be there.

How would you do an essay on the link between health and wealth
I think you would have to mention names such as the Black Report, Acheson Report , Caci Report if you are answering about Scotland I think just focus on the Equally well report.

You need to talk about issues such as smoking, drinking, drug use, poor diet and lack of exercise, and discuss the ways in which these issues are more prevalent in areas where the majority are social class D/E.

Eg, East Dumbartonshire has 10% population smoking, whereas Shettleston has 22%, etc.

It's not worth worrying about.

You have the source questions which are fine, you have your assignment, which is fine, and as long as you know your facts and you can talk about why they are significant, and what they mean, you're ok. It's all good, just as long as you know what you're talking about in general, you can put it into an answer :smile:

Thank you for your help!
