1 REVISION BOOKLET PERSONAL Christian Ethics RESPONSIBILTY: DRUGS.

2 COMMAND WORDS in the exam what they are and what they mean. These are the words that instruct you what to do in the exam. If you learn these words and phrases you will be answering in the way the examiner wants you to and therefore, in a better position to gain higher marks. DESCRIBE: give a detailed account of something, as if you are painting a picture using words; it is the same as outline. EXPLAIN: when you make a point, expand (develop) it. If the question asks you to explain and you just give a list of ideas, you will not be given more than half the available marks. EXPLAIN, GIVING EXAMPLES: expand the point(s) you make by giving examples of what you are writing about. GIVE: the same as write down ; here you can give a list. HOW: is the same as asking in what ways, e.g. How do religious people work for animal rights? is asking in what ways they help animals. NAME: is asking you for an actual technical word or the actual name of something. REFER TO means include in your answer, for example you will often be asked to refer to religious beliefs and teachings, so you have to include to get good marks.

3 COMMAND WORDS: WHAT IS MEANT BY you need to say what something means? WHY: give reasons for something, e.g. why people have children. DO YOU AGREE? Give reasons for your answer you only get marks for saying why people agree and why they disagree, so make sure you do both. Also remember to evidence your reasons. You also need to give explanations to the points you make. IMPORTANT: you must give your own opinion also. You have to choose a side and give reasons. Lying is allowed... SHOWING THAT YOU HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT MORE THAN ONE POINT OF VIEW: If the question does not ask for your view then you have to say why people agree and why people disagree whatever you, yourself think WHAT DO YOUR THINK? EXPLAIN YOUR OPINION: this is asking you to give your own opinion on something, but the statement that is given will always make you think about religion. COMMON MISTAKE: examiners have said that many candidates will often give answers to why? instead of how? questions and the other way round. This really affects marks. Please remember to underline KEY WORDS in the question to help you focus and answer correctly.

4 EXAM TIP: Giving examples (evidence) to support your points will enable you to develop your answers and demonstrate your understanding of the issues being discussed. For A/A* you will be expected to demonstrate clear written paragraphed writing with evidence of knowledge of the issues raised, detailed responses showing understanding of Christian responses to this issues. CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES TO THE ISSUE OF DRUGS: illegal and legal drugs. Points to use in answers: Christians believe that human life is valuable: the sanctity of life. (Definition: The belief that human life is special, sacred, valuable.) The physical body is shell through which the inner self is expressed. (Definition: The physical make up of a person which can be affected by drugs.) The soul is the real essence of a person. SO. Most believers think it is important to care for the body. They believe the body is on loan from God, or a gift from God, or the means through which they are able to experience God. Therefore, it is there duty to respect and care for this precious gift.

5 RELIGIOUS PRACTICES THAT PROMOTE A HEALTHY BODY AND MIND: Moral codes these encourage a moral life e.g. honesty, respect for others. Community support arising from being a member of a faith community. Lifestyle encourages care of self, e.g. restrictions on use of drugs and alcohol. Discipline rules and practices that encourage self-discipline and self-control. Meditation helps clear and focus the mind and achieve a sense of peace. (Mind the conscious part of the brain that can be affected by drug use.) Prayer regular prayer helps believes think about their values and feel supported. Confession helps believers clear their conscience by repenting wrong-doing (sins) WHAT ARE DRUGS? Drugs are substances that affect the body and mind in some way. This means that Christians are influenced by their beliefs and teaching when deciding about drugs. Attitudes to using drugs vary depending on whether the drugs are legal or illegal.

6 MEDICALLY PRESCRIBED DRUGS These are drugs that are legal to use. They include drugs prescribed by a doctor and those that can be bought from the chemist. All Christians permit the use of these drugs because they are taken to help someone to get well again or to relieve suffering and pain. COMMON MISTAKES IN ANSWERING QUESTIONS ON DRUGS: Candidates sometimes make the mistake of saying that religious believers are totally against using drugs. Remember NO religion says it is wrong to use medically prescribed drugs. CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES TO LEGAL DRUGS You may be asked to describe the effects of drugs on the individual. Make sure you can describe or explain the effects of both illegal and legal drugs on the individual. You can expand your answer to include wider issues on the family, society or the local community. TOBACCO: Users can become addicted to nicotine very quickly and the habit can be difficult to break because as well as the physical side effects of quitting, users also associate smoking with relaxation. Cost high taxation makes smoking very expensive. Taxation is used to raise money for the government to spend on public services e.g. health care. Taxation also could discourage people from buying them. Health smoking has been proven to shorten life span, cause heart and lung diseases and breathing problems.

7 TOBACCO (EFFECTS) Environment smoke pollutes the environment with its smell and waste products; it also affects the health of others through passive smoking. Many Christians do not use tobacco because it damages the body. ALCOHOL Many Christians see nothing wrong with the use of alcohol in moderation. Alcohol abuse is wrong because of the long-term damaging effects on the body, the family and society. Can cause liver damage, impaired judgement, delayed reactions could mean bad choices being made when under the influence. Methodists, The Salvation Army and Baptists advocate abstaining from alcohol and will often use grape juice in the Eucharist. CAFFEINE Caffeine is a stimulant mostly consumed in drinks such as coffee, tea and energy drinks. Most religions, including Christianity do not forbid its use, but individual believers may choose not to use caffeine because of its effects. ILLEGAL DRUGS Illegal drugs are those that are considered to be particularly harmful. There Misuse of Drugs Act (1979) classifies drugs into three classes. It is illegal to possess use or sell these drugs and offenders can be prosecuted and punished.

8 KEY TERMS: ILLEGAL DRUGS any drugs that are illegal to possess, sell or use, listed in the classification of drugs. CLASSIFICATION OF DRUGS The legal system which classifies illegal drugs into categories A,B,C according to the level of harm they do and how addictive they are. Drug class Examples Maximum prison sentence Class A (most harmful) Class B Class C (least harmful) Heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, crack, crystal-meth Cannabis, amphetamines (speed) Methylphendiate (Ritalin) Steroids, tranquillisers, magic mushrooms Possession: 7 years/fine Selling: life imprisonment Possession: 5 years/fine Selling: 14 years Possession: 2 years/fine Selling: 14 years THE LAW AND DRUGS The classified drugs are classified because they are the most harmful. Classified to prevent their use. To warn people of the dangers of these drugs. To punish dealers and users fairly. Classified because they cause harm to families and society. Classified because they are highly addictive.

9 THE DEBATE ABOUT LEGALISING ALL DRUGS: Legal drugs are just as harmful in the long term; smoking and alcohol abuse kills people. Making drugs illegal encourages people to use them, despite the known potential effects on the individual, families and society. Legalising Class A, B and C drugs would reduce crime, allow freedom of choice, control the production and supply of these drugs and raise money through taxation. THE DEBATE ABOUT LEGALISING DRUGS: It would prevent drug lords from amassing wealth and power. Drugs like cannabis are so widely used it is impossible to police fairly. COMMON MISTAKES: Some candidates have confused knowledge especially about cannabis. It is NOT legal to possess cannabis (it is a Class B drug). It is NOT a cure for some illnesses (it is a relaxant, which diverts awareness from pain). It is NOT prescribed in a form that is smoked. EXAM TIP: Make sure you are able to give reasons for and against the legal status of different drugs including tobacco, alcohol and cannabis.

10 CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES TO ILLEGAL DRUGS All Christians would teach that it is wrong to use illegal drugs because: They harm the body (gift from God) They can result in early death (sanctity of life) They destroy families and harm society (golden rule: love one another as I have loved you.) They are illegal (societies rules) DRUG USE AND ADDICTION Why do people take drugs? Escape Relaxation Boredom To be social Enjoyment Peer pressure Addiction Rebellion Curiosity

11 THE RISKS OF DRUG USE Health all drugs affect the body and mind in the short and long term. Financial addiction is costly; all drugs cost money and a habit can be very expensive. Uncertainly illegal drugs are not controlled; users could be exposed other poisons mixed with the drug. THE RISK OF DRUG USE Criminal if caught, illegal drug users risk getting a criminal record, heavy fines, imprisonment, etc. CONSEQUENCES (EFFECTS) OF DRUG USE Physical addiction, damage to health, shortened life expectancy, death. Mental addiction, mental health issues such as irrational thinking, psychosis and depression. Social family breakdown, inability to work, crime, cost of health services and help for addicts. RECREATIONAL drugs used for fun, socialising etc. can be addictive and lead to use of harder drugs. EXAM TIP: Read questions carefully. If you are asked to give two social consequences of drug use, you will not be credited if you say they damage your health and lead to addiction as these are physical consequences, not social. Remember to learn the difference and answer accordingly.

12 CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES TO DRUGS AND DRUG ADDICTION/MISUSE love your neighbour Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Learn to control your body in a way that is holy and honourable. CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES TO DRUGS AND DRUG ADDICTION/MISUSE The body is a temple of the holy spirit Do not get drunk on wine, it leads to sinfulness, instead be filled with the Holy Spirit. CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES TO DRUNGS AND DRUG ADDICTION/MISUSE The use of drugs inflicts grave damage on human health; the use of them except on therapeutic grounds is a grave sin (Roman Catholic Church). Drink a little wine to aid your digestion. Remember to expand/develop these teachings in answers to gain higher marks and ensure they support the point you are making. How do these teachings support Christians to make an informed choice about the issue of drugs? ALL RELIGIONS TEACH: Sanctity of life Justice and social harmony Repentance and forgiveness

13 EXAM TIP: Ideas like sanctity of life, God created us, and need to be able to focus on God in worship can be used in this topic for all its aspects mind, body, legal and illegal drugs and addicts. So use them, but as in English remember to expand this evidence to say how they fit the aspect. HOW EXAMINERS MARK YOUR WORK INTRODUCING AO1 AND AO2. AO1 (Assessment objective 1) QUESTIONS. These are questions that test your knowledge and understanding of the course details, and your ability to apply ideas. These questions are usually asking for explanations, descriptions and definitions. They also ask for religious attitudes. Mark per question can vary from one to six in any topic. Level Mark Descriptor In plain English, that means.. Level 0 0 marks Nothing correct or relevant. It is simply wrong! Level 1 1 mark Level 2 2 marks Level 3 3 marks Something relevant, which is worthy of a mark. Elementary knowledge and understanding Sound knowledge and understanding Just one simple idea; no explanations. Two ideas here. One idea explained in detail would be fine. You will need to give several reasons, and explain some of them in detail. Or you could explain one

14 Level 4 4marks Level 5 5 marks Level 6 6 marks Clear knowledge and understanding with some development/analysis A detailed answer with some development and/or analysis A full and coherent answer showing good development and / or analysis. idea in a lot of detail. This is clearly written answer, which flows when reading it. It gives ideas, but explains them in good detail as well. This gives more detail for the examiner to read than Level. You will have used PEE more than once and explained in detail. Writing in a clear logical way The different here is the way the answer is written and explained in detail. Showing insight into the issues raised and giving evidence in well-constructed paragraphs. Not a short answer.

15 AO2 (Assessment Objective 2) QUESTIONS These are questions that test your ability to evaluate (balance/weigh up) statements which are linked to the topic you have studied. They are easy to spot they always start with a statement and then ask you what you think or whether you agree. The What do you think? questions are always worth three marks; the Do you agree? questions are worth six. There is one of each in every topic. You MUST give a view either agreeing or disagreeing with the statement to achieve higher marks. Remember, the marks are in the detail. Example questions: All illegal drugs should remain illegal. Do you agree? (must give your point of view on whether you agree or disagree) Give reasons for your answer, (evidence/examples) showing that you have thought about more than one point of view. (points discussing both sides of the argument: agree and disagree). Refer Christian arguments in your answer. (must discuss Christian teachings and beliefs). A possible structure using MOO could be: Most: Christians agree with the above question because: Then give your point, evidence with a teaching, belief or an example then explain how this teaching, belief or example supports the why they agree with the above question. You could then develop the answer to show why because of the effect on the individual, their relationship with God, the effect on families or society. In addition, you could give another point and link to lots of examples with different explanations relating to the point you have made.

16 Remember we are studying Christian Ethics and this will be a paper examining your knowledge of this subject so please ensure you do yourself justice and evidence knowledge and understanding of Christian beliefs and teachings. On the other hand: this may be another Christian denomination s which contrasts to your first response to the question or a nonbelievers thoughts, beliefs or views but if the question asks for other views then ensure you give a balanced argument using PEE or at least a couple of points with detailed explanation. Or one point and link together with lots of examples with different explanations. Opinion: then in your conclusion, dependent on the question ensure you put forward your own personal response based on the points you have given and what you think in relation to the issue being answered AO2 Grade Descriptors Level Mark Descriptor Tips Level 0 0 Marks Level 1 1Mark You give an unsupported opinion, or nothing relevant Your opinion is supported by a simple reason This answer is restricted to I agree/disagree, or is blatantly answering the question. This is a very short answer, probably makes one point, or two points for two marks.

17 Level 2 2 Marks Level 3 3 Marks Level 4 4 Marks Level 5 5 Marks Level 6 6 Marks Level 5 and 6 Marks Your opinion is supported by two simple reasons (one or both sides) You have explored both sides of the argument through a series of points which are explained in good detail. You should be giving three or more ideas, or explaining a couple of ideas to get three marks. You must have some religious stuff in here to get more than three marks. Really you need to be writing in paragraphs, making points and explaining them to get four marks You have to write coherently (it flows and is clearly written) in terms of what you say makes sense. These are not short paragraphs and show you really know what the question is getting at and how to challenge it. In Part B, you will be judged on your written (SPAG) and given a mark (up to 4) for that. This is a simple guide. Remember the basics: A capital letter at the beginning of sentences. Clear paragraphing of ideas. Discourse marks to help the reader follow your chain of thought in your writing. Full stops at the end of a sentence. Accurate spelling of key terms and religious words. Read your answers to make sure your sentences make sense.

18 The four marks can make a difference in terms of grades, so it is well worth concentrating on your writing. 0 - No marks You wrote nothing; or what you wrote the examiner was not able to read. 1 1 mark You may have written very little, or what you wrote was full of spelling mistakes, grammatical mistakes, and probably not in sentences and paragraphs. 2 2 marks There may be quite a few spelling mistakes, and probably not in sentences and 2 2 marks paragraphs. 3 3 marks Few spelling mistakes or grammatical mistakes; use some technical terms (key words, the proper names for things); good use of sentences and paragraphs. 4 4 marks Few if any spelling or grammatical mistakes; good use of technical terms; good use of complicated sentences and paragraphs.

19 EXAM TIP: F-grade candidates often just given an opinion in evaluative questions. It is often not even related to the statement, so doesn t give anything worthy of credit, or beyond minimal credit. If this is you, train yourself to give a reason to agree and disagree. C-grade candidates often describe attitudes in evaluative questions, e.g. the question might be about whether a certain drug should be legalised, but they just write about what religions think about drugs. For evaluative questions, you have to evaluate give arguments for and against the statement. A-grade candidates do evaluate both sides in evaluative questions. They give arguments to agree and disagree with the statement and explain them. Where they mention religious believers, they don t just write about attitudes, they explain what a religious believer s perspective (viewpoint) might be on that statement. Practise these questions to support your knowledge and techniques: 1: Name a legal drug. (1 mark) 2: What is meant by the term recreational drug. (1 mark) 3: Give two reasons why some people use illegal drugs. (2 marks) 4: Explain briefly what is meant by the classification of drugs. (2) 5: Explain briefly one reason why people might use illegal drugs. (2) 6: Explain why religious believers disagree with drink driving (3)

20 7: Explain why many religious believers would support the rehabilitation of drug addicts. (3) 8: Religious believers should only use drugs that have been prescribed. What do you think? Explain giving your opinion. (3) 9: Explain two reasons why religious believers think it is wrong to use illegal drugs. (4) 10: Explain religious attitudes to the care of the body and mind. (4) 11: Describe ways in which religious believers could help those suffering from addiction. (4) 13: Explain religious attitudes towards the use of alcohol. Refer to beliefs and teachings in your answer. (5) 14: Explain religious teachings about the use of tobacco. (5) 15: Explain why religious believers are opposed to the use of illegal drugs. (5) 16: People should not be forbidden from using illegal drugs if they want to. Do you agree? Give reasons your answer, showing you have thought about more than one point of view. Refer to religious arguments in your answer. (6) 17: Alcohol should be made illegal in the UK. Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer, showing you have thought about more than one point of view. Refer to religious arguments in your answer. (6)
