To what extent do anarchists agree on the nature of a future society?

(0)
Essay that received full marks on the Edexcel 2017 specification for Government and Politics on the subject of anarchism. Verified by 2 teachers, both of whom have been examiners in the past. Good revision resource and something to guide future answers. Can also be of use to other exam boards. ‘To what extent do anarchists agree on the nature of a future society?’
Conservatives and Paternalism A-Level Edexcel Revision Question

Conservatives and Paternalism A-Level Edexcel Revision Question

(0)
To what extent do conservatives advocate for paternalism? This is an example practice essay which goes over some of the key aspects of conservatism. I took Edexcel’s Government & Politics A-Level course in 2019, achieving an A*, and afterwards I studied politics at the University of Warwick. I would recommend this style of revision - writing out key questions and then doing answers in abbreviated rather than full prose form. Happy studying! Paternalism is the idea of government by people who are best equipped to lead and make decisions through birth, inheritance and upbringing. It links to Burke’s notion of noblesse oblige, which is that those who are best off have obligations to those without; obligations of generosity, fairness, etc, and in turn, the masses have obligations of obedience and lawfulness.

First class undergraduate essay on borders, statehood and freedom

(0)
Warwick’s PO301 is a final year 30 CAT course available to those with some specialism in politics or political theory - most notably, those taking PPE, PPL, EPP, EPAIS, PAIS, or History & Politics. This essay was a summative submission and covered the module on freedom and borders. It rejects the argument made by Wellman (2008) that supports the right to exclude. Wellman’s arguments are also covered in other courses, such as the final-year PPE/PPL course Political Economy of Philosophy and Politics. The essay achieved a first. Use it as a source of ideas but don’t copy it - not least for reasons around plagiarism - but also because independent thought is what matters, not so much the content of the argument itself.

Ma Famille GCSE AQA/Edexcel Worksheet Lesson Activity

(0)
Ma Famille AQA Edexcel worksheet, lesson resource, activity. Should take about 15-20 minutes. The level of difficulty increases towards the end, so good for mixed abilities. The activity covers mon/ma/mes, different vocabulary suited to both the AQA and Edexcel GCSE course, and encourages pupils to explore the ‘ma famille’ part of the curriculum using family trees, fill-in-the-blanks and other visual and written methods. If you find it useful, please leave a review and suggest ways to make it better! Thanks.
Exemplar EPQ: To what extent was Disraeli a Machiavellian politician?

Exemplar EPQ: To what extent was Disraeli a Machiavellian politician?

(0)
EPQ question: Benjamin Disraeli ‘had scant respect for probity and integrity in politics - his code of behaviour was truly Machiavellian’. How accurate is this judgement? I achieved full marks in this piece (54/54). Contents: Abstract Introduction Research Review Dissertation (Discussion) Conclusion Evaluation Bibliography: Books, Articles/Journals, Podcasts, Websites Presentation slides Project proposal form 25,431 words across 54 pages Please feel free to use particularly for revision on Benjamin Disraeli and Victorian politics. I wrote this when I was 17, before starting university, so the language is often a little clunky! For those studying Disraeli at university, use this as inspiration rather than a strictly accurate journal piece.

(A-Level Politics) Evaluate the effectiveness of constitutional reforms since 1997

(1)
This is a practice essay I produced for the UK Politics section of the 2017 A-Level Government & Politics specification. I achieved an A* overall in 2019 and went on to graduate with a first in politics from a top-10 UK university. The source is taken from the LSE Blog, which contains some excellent resources. This essay was not marked and is not an exemplar, so I would suggest only using it for thoughts and ideas rather than as an example of best practice.
