lol the multiple choice was annoying, and what did you get for the question on social change, i chose the answer about changing power and authority or something, i was confused with that one, and also the one about the case study on the hsc students about uni, that one got me too!

but overall, i was surprised with how much time i had to write everything i wanted haha, but i dno how im gonna go overall, a bit iffy about it :/

lolol harry potter, that put a little smiley on my face :3

The exam wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!
Section one was probably the hardest bit, I did the belief systems bit on section two and it was sort of common knowledge.. And the pop culture for section three was a breeze.
So happy to never have to think about that subject ever again!

It was a mixture of previous knowledge as my class did a rock n roll assignment a few months back and that essay question was one of the focus questions we had to do, then i just rambled on for a while haha

With pop culture you had to reference pop culture in general and the impacts it will have - not just one popular culture ..

That question on change in power in belief system threw off. We covered Buddhism and there's like nothing you can really write on that besides like, gender roles and westernisation... I still managed to bullshit my way through 11 pages in the end though :)

Section 1 was by far the hardest I've ever seen through the past papers and stuff. Interaction between culture and environment? ohgodwhatcaniwriteaboutfor6marksbesidesurbanisation...

I wrote about modernization , globalization and industrialization and how its made my country more materialistic , consumerism driven and thus--> a more polluted environment. Yea! The ethical considerations I dont get it? ONE ethical consideration --> 3 marks?! This years was definitely harder -.-;;

I wrote privacy , how it may be ethical to get an adult/guardian present when asking the child/children about their usage of the internet and mobile phones for 'ethical' reasons. only thing i could think during the time

I just wrote about anonymity and how it'd be unethical to identify people during an interview or questionnaire response because it's personal information that could cause conflict if someone found out about their response or something

i was gonna write that.. but like it was based on quantative information .. figured that there won't be much anonymity concerns in asking 'do have a phone' 'do u use the internet' i guess privacy also falls under anonymity tho ;D
