Yea I suppose...but that's not my intention.

I mean it's a great subject and all it just the way it's test in VCE is lame (especially after that)





Seconded.  Thought I could get a 35-38, but now I'm hoping to get above 30.

Did anyone not finish the exam, out of interest? (i.e not finish S.A, not finish essay?)

                       3rd paragraph, those against PC -> George orwell -> New Bushfire Warnings -> stimulus A .

I did the same topic as you, and it looks like you had more content than I did. :P

i did euphemism essay but i took the view it didnt promote social harmony
para1- doublespeak in military/economic is like covering up the truth
para2- mispronunciations and litotes allow people to be offensive without being seen as a 'bad person'
para3- looked at other side of argument "although some people may see they do promote social harmony"
conlusion- obviously just summed it up

i dunno i think it was okay what ya reckon?

social rapport question was a bitch what everyone put for that?
