Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last. • Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions. • Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie. • There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately. • All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme. • Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited. • When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the team leader must be consulted. • Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.

(5) Question number Indicative content Mark 1(d) AO2 12 marks, SPaG 3 marks Candidates must underpin their analysis and evaluation with knowledge and understanding. Candidates will be required to demonstrate thorough knowledge and understanding as well as accuracy of religion and belief when responding to the question and in meeting AO2 descriptors. AO2 Arguments for the statement: • Humans should not have dominion over the world, Catholics believe that we are stewards of the world, God made humanity to care for the world, not to simply do with it what they please • Some Catholics believe that as the whole world is God’s creation and God is in his creation sustaining it and caring for it; humans have no right to rule supremely over it • Some Catholics believe that God gave the world to humanity as a gift, and as a gift from God it is holy, and they should value and cherish it. It would be wrong to treat it as a commodity. Arguments against the statement: • Some Catholics would argue that God instructed humanity to have dominion over the world, Genesis states, ‘God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it”’ (Genesis 1:28) • Some Catholics believe that humanity is the pinnacle of God’s creation, the only creature made in God’s image, as such they have a duty to rule over the world ensuring it is ordered towards human life • Some Catholics believe that it is essential that they have dominion over the world. In this way they can ensure that the whole of creation benefits from the world God has created for them. Accept any other valid response. Candidates who do not consider different viewpoints within the religious tradition or non-religious viewpoints (as (15) instructed in the question) cannot achieve marks beyond Level 2.
