    Saving the wold with uranium exports?

    I realise that at present I'm the only one who said 'no', but if we implement nuclear power I believe it's much safer and smarter to harness thorium over uranium exports.

    should you be allowed to do anything inside your homes if no-one is getting hurt?

    No, the laws are in place for a reason. Just because it doesn't cause harm one time doesn't mean the same activity will not harm otherwise. Even with drugs it has a long term impact on the individual user, their families, and just one dose could kill if you aren't aware of the implications on...

    Any PIP advice for newbies?

    Agreed start as early as possible, even if you don't think you have strong ideas the earlier you start, the more time you have to edit and perfect you major work, and make sure it doesn't eat it into vital time like studying for trials:) Secondly, do your bibilography as you go along (it's...

    Nerdy and blonde mistakes?

    Didn't realise I'd skipped 12 marks of highly doable questions on a two page spread until time was up *hides*

    Principle of Relativity (Inertial/Non-inertial)

    - I wrote the speed of light is constant therefore mass/length/time are relative values - No such thing as an absolute frame of reference (and hence no need for ether) - Might have possibly mentioned relativity of simultaneity - Something about an accelerating vs constant velocity/stationary...

    Parents reaction to you not making it?

    I've been trying to prepare my parents for the worst. My mum seems a bit disappointed and my dad seems really annoyed, but I think its mostly because of the prestige and the bragging rights than anything else even though he's not usually like that to me- I don't care where I get in personally, I...

    Do you you need ext Math to do well??

    Yeah you don't need it, but it sucks you weren't allowed to take it. In the same year at my school two people got 99.95 - one who did 4 unit maths and the other did none at all. So ninety + is definitely possible with your subjects:)

    Scaled marks

    I reckon so, hopefully they will. I think you'll also be eligible for 3 -4 automatic extra atar points for economics at macquarie through "Academic Advantage" (1 or 2 for English, 2 for Eco)

    The Shittest Movie Ever.

    Wow, gosh you're right I never heard of War of the Worlds 2 just imdb'd it:P sounds craptacular to the max (I liked the first one though)

    Genre theory - why?

    Erm, genre theory is all about trying to rationalise and understand our contextual environment and values and stuff. The subtle details may seem pointless, but it's these fragile distinctions that shape our perceptions of society and analyses of it. Eventually these subtleties shape whole genres...

    Section 1 - Law & Society

    I can definitely see that happening lol. Hmm, well apart from asking about natural law yeah no "religion" questions was definitely a smart decision amongst an array of ambiguous questions:D I personally think Ross Gittins response to the Eco exam in the SMH is appropriate here "multiple-choice...

    Section 1 - Law & Society

    Sorry I guess why I'm driving rule of law so hard is pretty much the same reason (that I chose it). Hopefully we can both be right (predictability is a trait that is important for both) :) Thus ends my argument (for this question) too.

    Section 1 - Law & Society

    Agreed. jj.oc, you're only applying ONE of the characteristics of a just law, not considering them ALL in context. If we only considered equality, fairness and equity would be neglected. Institutionalised inequality would prevail. Whilst the characteristic of equality of a just law encourages...

    Section 1 - Law & Society

    But I will :P Predictability implies that the result tends to be the same or very similar every time a type of issue comes out. It implies that everyone is treated in the same, predictable manner. Hence the answer is the rule of law, not justice. Justice is not predictable. It includes...

    'Outline the ciminal process from a crime being reported to a sentence being given'.

    Re: 'Outline the ciminal process from a crime being reported to a sentence being give I think they did overlap, yeah. But I think I paid greater attention to the role of the police in the criminal process one and greater attention to judicial discretion in the discretion question.

    Opinions? (Gaydar, due monday)

    Sorry I know this was millenia ago, but I beg to differ. Cross cultural in the context of society and culture, does not have the same meaning as "culture" (you're right it's not cultural, but it is cross-cultural.) Cross cultural is anything that is differfent from your own experience, be it...

    Band 6 cutoff

    I don't think our teacher considered it insanely easy but not sure. It depends on the students anyway, so whilst we all can't get band 6es, it probably won't significantly different to any other year I think. Try not to freak out too much. Your relative position to other students in the cohort...

    How many pages did u write

    Crime: 8 Family ~ 5.5 World Order ~ 6.5 (I didn't have time to count I just know I finished the Crime Booklet) About 7 - 10 words per line I think

    'Outline the ciminal process from a crime being reported to a sentence being given'.

    Re: 'Outline the ciminal process from a crime being reported to a sentence being give Mine was kind of dodgy but I mentioned detection, investigation, hearing and sentencing in some form or other

    Opinions on family essays

    Assess -> make a judgement looking at pros and cons. Evaluate -> more strongly have supprted opinions integrated into your argument DEFINITELY in the exam, if you're running out of time don't dot point exclude some things and conclude. There's no way anyone can mention everything that is...
