29 Specimen Question: Themes AO1 4 marks Theme E: Religion, crime and punishment Explain two contrasting beliefs in contemporary British society about the death penalty for murder. In your answer you should refer to the main religious tradition of Great Britain and one or more other religious traditions. Students must refer explicitly to a belief from Christianity, so showing that they know and understand that the main religious tradition of Great Britain is Christian. The belief they choose to explain may vary according to the denomination or tradition they refer to. Evidence of contemporary views may come from, for example: current teaching, news stories and the media or political debate. Students may include some of the following points, but all other relevant points must be credited: Christianity Many denominations oppose the death penalty / Jesus replaced the concept of an eye for an eye with turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:38-39) / when asked for his opinion on a particular case, Jesus said, If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone (John 8:7) / do not be overcome by evil; but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21) / I am passionately opposed to the death penalty for anyone... I think, myself, that it is an obscenity Desmond Tutu) / the Catechism of the Catholic Church permits the death penalty only if an absolute necessity, but thinks that other options for punishment make such cases very rare, if not practically non-existent / some Christians think that an eye for an eye should apply to murder. Islam Several Qur anic texts support the use of the death penalty / essential for justice to be done / Take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom. (Qur an 6:151) / If any one slew a person unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land it would be as if he slew the whole people (Qur an 5:33) / according to the Qur an, the victim s family can insist on the death penalty or in an act of mercy, accept monetary compensation and some UK Muslims would see this as an argument against the death penalty / O ye who believe! the law of equality is prescribed to you in cases of murder But if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a Mercy from your Lord. (Qur an 2:178) / If somebody kills my brother, then I should not go about killing him, but demand compensation and even in that matter I shouldn t exceed bounds, but demand only what is just and according to status and circumstances (Kashif Shahzada). Slide 29
30 Specimen Question: Themes AO1 4 marks Theme C: The existence of God and revelation Explain two contrasting beliefs in contemporary British society about visions. In your answer you should refer to the main religious tradition of Great Britain and one or more other religious or non-religious beliefs. Students must refer explicitly to a belief from Christianity, so showing that they know and understand that the main religious tradition of Great Britain is Christian. The belief they choose to explain may vary according to the denomination or tradition they refer to. Evidence of contemporary views may come from, for example: current teaching, news stories and the media. Students may include some of the following points, all other relevant points must be credited: Some Christians believe that God or holy figures including angels appear in visions to people: examples include the Angels of Mons, St Bernadette s vision of Mary at Lourdes. Some visions are recorded in scripture such as Peter s vision of the sheet (Acts 10: 9-16), Jacob s ladder (Genesis 28: 10-17), so the authority of scripture supports them. The vision may appear in a dream or in the external world, it may be in the mind s eye or appear to many people at the same time. Many atheists and humanists believe that visions are imaginary or mistaken interpretations of a natural event for example a dream or the result of drink or drugs (including natural substances that can cause hallucinations). They believe that people interpreted them as religious visions because of what they already believed. People claiming to have visions may be seeking fame or fortune. The media sometimes expose such people as fraudulent. Psychological studies tend to show that the subconscious is at work when people have visions. Often those having visions are considered to be mentally ill. Others may be physically ill, for example epileptic (as was argued in the case of Ellen G. White, the founder of the Seventh Day Adventists). Atheists and humanists would point to the lack of scientific proof that such visions are genuine owing to lack of reliable witnesses. Slide 30

35 Specimen Question: Themes AO1 5 marks Theme A: Relationships and families Explain two religious beliefs about the role of parents in a religious family. Refer to scripture or sacred writings in your answer. Students may include some of the following points, but all other relevant points must be credited: All religions teach that a key role for parents is to provide their children with all the necessities of life / provide a secure and stable background for children to grow up in / teach their children right from wrong / giving them moral standards to live by. All religions teach parents should set an example to children by living the faith / educating and raising children within the faith / bringing them to maturity and full membership of the faith / teaching them to pray / take part in worship in the home or in the place of worship. Examples of these teachings follow: Christianity It is the duty of Christian parents to raise their children in the faith. Depending on their denomination, Christians are expected to ensure their children receive religious instruction / attend religious schools / participate in rites of passage ceremonies, eg christening / confirmation / membership ceremonies / attend church, etc. Honour your father and your mother. (Exodus 20:12) and Paul s teaching Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4) Islam Muslim parents will ensure their children participate in rites of passage ceremonies, eg aqiqah / bismillah ceremonies / attend classes at a madrassah to learn to read the Qur an / make sure the home is halal / in some religious families, father and mother have equal but different roles / father working to support the family, mother at home looking after the children. Because parents role is so important scripture teaches Muslims to care for elderly parents with kindness and respect because they loved and cared for their own children when they were young. (Qur an 17:23-24) Duties of parents are expressed: a husband is a guardian of his family and is responsible for it; a lady is a guardian of her husband s house and is responsible for it (Hadith 3: 592) and the Prophet said A father gives his child nothing better than a good education. (Hadith collected by Tirmidhi and Al- Bayhaki) Slide 35
36 Specimen Question: Themes AO1 5 marks Theme B: Religion and life Explain two religious beliefs about animal experimentation. Refer to scripture or sacred writings in your answer. Students may include some of the following points, but all other relevant points must be credited: General points Good purposes for animal experimentations would include testing and developing life-saving medicines but not testing frivolous things such as cosmetics / respect for animals would include not using them unless there is no alternative and the outcome is likely to be of value, otherwise it is not right to experiment on animals. Christianity Opposes cruelty but may accept animal experimentation if it benefits humans / ideas of stewardship stress responsibility for animals and their welfare, so may be opposed to testing / beliefs about dominion stress animals may be used to benefit humans / opposes testing of cosmetics on animals / Proverbs 12:10 / Luke 12:6. Islam Muslims believe animals have legal rights but experimentation may be acceptable if it benefits humans and does not cause suffering God has provided animals for human use and benefit: Qur'an 40:79-80 / actions are judged according to intention there must be a just cause for harming or killing an animal (hadith) / oppose testing of cosmetics on animals Slide 36

40 Specimen Question Religions AO2 12 marks Islam: Beliefs and Practices The best way for Muslims to understand God is to practise Salah. Evaluate this statement. In your answer you should: refer to Muslim teaching give developed arguments to support this statement give developed arguments to support a different point of view reach a justified conclusion. Mark Scheme content: Students may include some of the following evidence and arguments, but all relevant evidence and arguments must be credited: Arguments in support: Salah is a direct contact between the individual and God, so their understanding of God is personal to them and not based on other people s ideas which could be wrong. The believer focuses on the feeling of being in God s presence, this is sometimes described as a feeling of awe and wonder (taqwah) at the greatness of God. God is beyond description because there is nothing God can be compared to /so God cannot be understood by reading about him or hearing other people talk about him. Arguments in support of other views: Not everyone can have this kind of prayer experience so they do not feel the presence of God through prayer. The Qur an as the inspired word of God is his presentation of himself to human beings, so an understanding of God can come from reading what he says about himself, God will help those who read the Qur an to feel his presence so they can understand him A study of creation can also bring about an understanding of God because creation is a sign from God. Slide 40
41 Specimen Question Themes AO2 12 marks Theme F: Religion, human rights and social justice It is always right to give charity to the poor. Evaluate this statement. In your answer you: should give reasoned arguments in support of this statement should give reasoned arguments to support a different point of view should refer to religious arguments may refer to non-religious arguments should reach a justified conclusion. Mark Scheme content: Students may include some of the following evidence and arguments, but all relevant evidence and arguments must be credited: Arguments in support: the duty to give charity is accepted by many people, including religious believers, atheists and humanists / many make regular donations or give generously when emergencies arise. Those who are wealthy have a duty to share their wealth with the poor/ greed and selfishness has to be fought against. charities do a great deal of good with the money donated / especially in times of crisis when emergency aid is needed/ if money was not given, none of this would be possible/ many charities work with those in poverty to overcome the causes of poverty. from a utilitarian perspective, it could be argued that the consequences of sharing wealth fairly would be greater stability for the world as a whole. Arguments supporting another point of view: Beggars may rely on gifts of money rather than help themselves, some work in groups, treating begging as a job from which they earn income there is no way of guaranteeing that anyone given money will use it to help get themselves out of poverty/ it is better to help the poor to help themselves than give money directly to them. Governments that should be spending money on the poor and needy may spend it on other, sometimes unethical things / e.g. on weapons or status symbols for the leaders, knowing that charities will step in to help the poor From a utilitarian perspective, it could be argued that the money given to the poor would be better spent on things where the benefits are more certain. Christianity The parable of the sheep and goats states that in giving to those in need, the donor is giving to Jesus / Jesus told the rich man to sell his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor / the Early Church followed this practice / If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in nee but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with action (I John 3:17-18) / charity should be given without show (Matthew 6:2-4) / the donor needs to be sure that it will not be misused / it should not be in the form of weapons or encourage aid dependency / but should be aimed at enabling people to become self-reliant. Islam Wealth is Allah s gift and its value lies in the good it can do, so the poor should be helped / families are encouraged to support the poorer members / he who eats and drinks while his brother goes hungry is not one of us (Hadith) / zakah is one of the five pillars / sadaqah is encouraged / giving to the poor is common at Eid-ul-Adha and Eid-ul-Fitr / so give what is due to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the Countenance of Allah, and it is they who will prosper (Qur an 30:38) / poverty may be a test from Allah, so the poor should try to help themselves. Slide 41
42 Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Spelling, punctuation and grammar will be assessed in 12 mark questions against the following criteria: Level Performance descriptor Marks awarded High performance Learners spell and punctuate with consistent accuracy Learners use rules of grammar with effective control of meaning overall Learners use a wide range of specialist terms as appropriate Intermediate performance Threshold performance Learners spell and punctuate with considerable accuracy Learners use rules of grammar with general control of meaning overall Learners use a good range of specialist terms as appropriate Learners spell and punctuate with reasonable accuracy Learners use rules of grammar with some control of meaning and any errors do not significantly hinder meaning overall Learners use a limited range of specialist terms as appropriate No marks awarded The learner writes nothing The learner s response does not relate to the question The learner s achievement in SPaG does not reach the threshold performance level, for example errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar severely hinder meaning Slide 42
