I just think that anything which reminds us we are animals and mortal (sex, death, defecation) will become taboo. Also I believe discrimination is tabooed by society

So when talking about taboo, can we also include PC and Euphemisms?

euphemisms definitely but I'm not sure about PC, I think I read somewhere that they aren't the same thing so I'm not sure

Yeah, you can include both. Euphemisms are definitely a form of politically correct language

Be careful. PC is only concerned with avoiding discrimination. Avoiding the topic of death isn't PC.

You can write on all three; just make sure you draw your boundaries clearly.

Here's hoping that I get a nice essay topic.

And an easy Analysis

And might as well have as easy as possible SAQs.

I'm hoping for something like last year's exam:
Straightforward SAQs
Transcript with heaps of identifiable features
2/3 essay topics were accessible for me

We won't get that; last year's exam was easy as it was the first exam for the study design. It's going to be harder this year.
