Wars?

Also I'll mention abolishment of white Australia policy if the question appears in the exam, thanks :)
Vietnam War brought tons of Buddhist immigrants ('70s) and in the late '40s/early '50s, WWII brought in Jewish immigrants.

basically

religion and peace is pretty easy for me

did it 3 times, once in the half yearly, third assessment task and trials

post 45, revised it today

revising religion and non-religion now

islam person/practice/ethics revised yesterday
judaism person/ethics revised yesterday (still have to go over marriage)

then I gotta go over Christianity and make some niche statements for tomorrow's essay (I do it for the 20 marker)

haha I kinda did in trials, got 16/20. If I applied more detail, I could've easily scored 18-20

+ 1

I have a full mark essay for Christianity involving all three aspects (for the 2013 CSSA trial q), but I actually know more from Islam. if ethics comes up, I'll do Islam, if practice comes up I'll do Islam, but if it is a general one, I may do Christianity, because I don't want to do it for the 15 marks unless I have to (way easier to get marks in the 15 marker than 20 marker).

yeah exactly

I really hope its general and we can include person/practice/ethics

I think I've learnt enough information to sustain a response on one, but it's just easier when you can intertwine them in the one response :)

really hope tomorrow is on inner peace with reference two religions

that'd be c00l
For the trial, we hadn't finished that topic, so we got tested on these:

"investigate the understanding of peace and how it is informed through significant writings within sacred texts for TWO religious traditions drawn from:" and "outline the principal teachings about peace in TWO religious traditions"

I want the peace essay to be a mix of both, because that's what I'm preparing for... and besides haven't been tested on outer peace before. As for 20 marker religion, I hope it's a general one too

Also yo folks I have a question.

I'm currently ranked 1st in religion with another person, so 2 of us ranked 1st. If one of us comes 3rd and beyond, does that person's internal mark go to person who came 1st/2nd?

Does anyone know if it's likely that the short answers will ask for a significant person? CSSA asked for a practice so i'm not sure if i should be spending too much time on person...

No, because there are 2 people ranked 1st, the top 2 external marks (doesn't matter if it is you or someone ranked below you) will be averaged out and given to you and the other person ranked 1st.

Regardless of how you perform, you keep your external mark.
