SECTION B [28]
Question 1 (2) Level 2
Suggested answer:
Pay attention in class and take notes. This strategy ensures that the information is already
being processed and learnt.

Question 2 (2) Level 2
2.1 If you realise that you're unhappy with something about yourself that you can
       change, then start today. If it's something you can't change (like your height), then
       start to work toward loving yourself the way you are.
2.2    Accept that you will make mistakes because everyone does. Mistakes are part of
       learning. Remind yourself that a person's talents are constantly developing, and
       everyone excels at different things.

Question 3 (8) Level 2
3.1 Hinduism
    Central figure: Brahman
    Sacred Spaces and Places: A Hindu place of worship is called a mandir or temple.
    The spirit or spark of God is found in different forms in different objects or creatures and
    can be male or female. The presence of God in these things is called a deity. A temple

                                                                                             3

    is dedicated to a particular god or goddess (deity). The temple is the god's home on
    earth. The most holy part of the temple is an inner shrine called a garbhargriha with a
    statue to the god or goddess

    Religious Principles: The fundamental teaching of Hinduism is that a human being's
    basic nature is not confined to the body or the mind. The spirit or spark of god is within
    us and also within everything we see. Anyone who takes the trouble to undergo the
    necessary training to purify and refine the mind and senses can begin to feel the truth
    of this. This training can take various forms and is known as yoga ("union"- union of the
    individual self with this inner spirit).

    Sacred Symbols and Texts: The philosophy, religion, and customs of the ancient
    Aryans are recorded in their sacred texts known as the Vedas. These texts were initially
    handed down by word of mouth from teacher to student. The basic teachings of
    Hinduism are contained in the last portion of the Vedas and are known as the Vedanta
    (the "end or concluding portion of the Vedas”)

3.2 Judaism
    Central figures: Abraham and God
    Sacred Spaces and Places: Israel is a sacred place to Jewish people. Jews who do
    not live there try to visit at some point in their lives. Jewish people worship in places
    called synagogues.
    Religious Principles: There are 10 main laws laid out in the scriptures. These are the
    rules for good living that were given, by God, to a man called Moses while he was on a
    mountain called Sinai. They are the same as the commandments followed by Christians.
    Sacred Symbols and Texts: Jewish people believe in the rules and guidance given in
    their holy scriptures called the TeNaKH. It is made up of 2 parts: Torah and Talmud.

Question 4 (2) Level 3
For many years, cigarette advertisers sold their product by portraying cigarette smoking as
a ‘sophisticated’, ‘manly’ or ‘mature’ activity. People took up smoking because they wanted
to be like the people they saw in the adverts. The adverts did not mention the dangers of
smoking. The same applies to alcohol.

Today, cigarette companies cannot advertise their products in newspapers, magazines or
on T.V. They are also required, by law, to put a warning on all of the packets of cigarettes
that are sold. Unfortunately, there are still some addictive substances, like alcohol, that are
promoted directly through advertising of some kind.

Question 5 (2) Level 5
When teenagers go through puberty, their friends become very important. They need to feel
like they belong and they want to look and act the same way as their peers. The fact that
everybody else is doing is often seen as a good reason to try something new or potentially
dangerous.

Question 6 (2) Level 5
Any reasonable answer.

Question 7 (2x2=4) Level 3

7.1 THE RIGHT TO A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
    The Government’s Duty: To put laws in place that prevent companies from polluting
    the environment.
   Your Duty: Any reasonable answer.

7.2 THE RIGHT OF ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, FOOD AND WATER
    The Government’s Duty: To provide clean running water and garbage removal
    services.
   Your Duty: Any reasonable answer.

Question 8 (2) Level 4
Anorexia nervosa isn't really about food. It's an unhealthy way to try to cope with emotional
problems. When you have anorexia nervosa, you often equate thinness with self-worth.

Question 9 (2x2=4) Level 1
Do’s
•   Protect the person from injury (remove harmful objects from nearby).
•   Cushion their head.
•   Look for an epilepsy identity card or identity jewellery.
•   Aid breathing by gently placing them in the recovery position once the seizure has
    finished (see pictures).
•   Stay with the person until recovery is complete.
•   Be calmly reassuring.

Don't’s
•   Restrain the person’s movements.
•   Put anything in the person’s mouth.
•   Try to move them unless they are in danger.
•   Give them anything to eat or drink until they are fully recovered.
•   Attempt to bring them round.
