Block Test 2.

Well, you haven't updated in a long while.

Well, yeah, tests upcoming and all...

I can understand... if you were actually putting more effort into studying.

Hey! A half-hearted effort is better than none at all!

So, GP as the first paper, as always. They usually take the longest to mark.

Attempted question was: "Mankind is totally powerless in the face of natural disasters. Discuss." Fairly straightforward, many others attempted it too. After-paper discussion reveals that the term "natural disasters" covers a lot more than the environmental ones - epidemics and the ever-unlikely collisions with extraterrestrial objects count.

A question I considered doing (but eventually ditched) went something among the lines of: "'Carried out in the wrong areas and for the wrong reasons.' What are your opinions on this view on medical research?" Of course, I couldn't quite figure out any other controversial areas of medical research beyond genetic engineering, and eventually ditched it.

It also became a problem when the first few things I began thinking of was among the lines of "GUILT", "Stigma", and "Rosalia".

You really need to cut down on those games...

Paper 2. General topic is about discrimination according to age. Both writers put up good points, but one gaping flaw was that the discrimination brought up was more suited towards jobs that require physical work. The reverse happens in administrations or management. Thus while doing the AQ it felt like...

"Objection!! There appears to be a glaring contradiction in BOTH the writers' arguments!"
