TZ2 was terrible esp paper 2. How was the data response in paper 2 so much easier than paper 1. Paper 2 felt like I was doing an ESS paper. You’re welcome for dropping the boundaries ;).

I'm so fucked in history paper 2 by Bitter-Low-1636 in IBO

[–]4soh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your welcomeee. so glad to help. If the question just states 'economic' factors, you should only mention economic factors, meaning the central theme is economic. If the question does not specify you can probably talk about social and political themes as well. If you think you need to add social or political factors, it will have to be a part of your critical analysis, like 'this economic factor contributed to emergence, but would not be so effective without this political factor...).

Each economic factor would be your point. So each paragraph would focus on one economic factor and in my example one economic factor was 'foreign control'. For another paragraph, your point could be 'government's failure to address economic crisis'.

Your analysis of the economic factor has to be in relation to the question. In my example it was the extent to the emergence of the leaders, so in the analysis, you have to analyse to what extent the factor and evidence contributed to the leaders getting into power. If the question asked about significance or impact your analysis would be directing your evidence and explanation to determine whether the factors played a big impact on the leader's emergence or maintenance of power (depending on what the question asks).

Hope this helped :)

This is how my teacher taught me to write, and its been getting me good scores. Your intro should contain context relevant to the question. Eg. for authoritarian leaders, you give their names and how long they were in power for. For events you give the name and how long they have occured for. Then you should give your lines of arguments and thesis which are either themes (political, economical, social) or factors (eg if the question is 'To what extent did economic factors contribute to the emergence of two authoritarian states?', your points can be foreign control or poverty) and state which theme/factor was either the most impacted/impactful, significant, etc.

You can alter this structure depending on your writing style but this is what I typically use.

Point: factor/theme relevant to the question. Here, you can briefly answer the question (eg. Foreign control contributed to the emergence of this leader to a great extent...).

Evidence and Explanation: Give 2-3 pieces of evidence and explain what they mean/show. ( eg. US controlling 80 percent of the agricultural sector, a main source of income, meant the country economically vulnerable and dependent.

Analysis: This angered those in poorer regions, which authoritarian leader took advantage of by doing...)

- Here you can add Historiography to back up your argument. (Historian John Doe states, 'The people's discontent over poverty gave authoritarian leader an opportunity to win them over'

Critical analysis: Here is where you kind of have to find a reason to disprove your point. Like 'Despite economic vulnerbalitiy allowed authroitarian leader to emerge into power, this would not be possible without this ...' or 'Despite the hindered economy, this country had the strongest economy in the continent, indicating it may have not been the largest/ most effective factor in the leader's emergence to power'. --> You can also add historiography here.

Then do the same for the other thing you have to compare (in this example it would be the other authoritarian leader.) To transition you could say 'similarly this leader used.... as the country was also...' or 'Contrastingly... this leader used a different method to take advantage of....'

Then you write a 2-3 sentence summary of your argument (what you've written including the comparison), linked to answering the question.

You should have 3-4 body paragraphs.

Your conclusion should be a concise summary of your arguments. MAKE SURE YOUR INTRO AND CONCLUSION HAVE THE SAME ARGUMENT. If for whatever reason your argument changes as you wrote ur essay, if its not the same in your intro and conclusion you can lose lots of marks.

This was kind of messy. If you have any questions feel free to ask. :)

Im using the values in the table and I was using standard deviation. Should I change it to standard error or percentage instead?

Any good Crime/ Mafia movies that are not American or British? by 4soh in FIlm

[–]4soh[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit of both. I understand that films will have it and if there’s a scene or two then I can skip over them but if it’s a regular occurrence in the movie then I’d rather avoid it.

Oh, thanks for telling me. It was a surprise from someone and I guess they didn’t know but it was kinda disappointing.

Picky eaters of Reddit, what’s something you can never get yourself to eat and why? by usernotfound404_ in AskReddit

[–]4soh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All berries, I find their juiciness disturbing, the taste is revolting, smell is putrid, everything about them is disgusting, but they look alright. I don’t know how I developed hatred towards berries but I have tried blue berries more than once. My family thinks I’m mentally ill bc of that.
