Shaping of Understanding (1 Viewer)

[Xayma]

Goign through the 2002 HSC paper about how is understanding of an event, situation or personality shaped in the texts you have studied.

Would you discuss how your understanding of an event is essentially bias due to the author's close proximity to the subjet (doing 50th Gate) and how memory is inadvertantely flawed (one of my related texts is a study on memory and which events are more likely to be remembered)?

Thats what I feel it is asking for, but to put that my understanding of such a controvesial topic is based on bias information might put off a marker.

Yes there is factual information threaded throughout 50th gate but this is placed secondly to the memories especially later in the book "Who am I to steal their memories"

Hello there.....

Well you being the scientist that you are would be using a related text such as a study on memory. I got commented on in a previous essay in english for using the word 'demographics' (not english study terminology), so I don't know how your going to go using a related text like that. good luck but.

The whole bias thing has been around for a while. Basically you have to ignore it some of the time and just focus on the specifics of the question and keep on the track of Representation, as opposed to individual memories. Mentioning the bias factor would be ok during the introduction or part of a disscusion, but I wouldn't use it as an argument.

Good luck on exams mate.

P.S Do you know who this is...?
