These were actually revision notes for these pre-released exam questions for my Theological Ethics examination in 2008:<\/p>\n

    1. Assess the ways in which ethical theories could affect attitudes towards crime and punishment.
      \nAseswch y ffyrdd y gallai damcaniaethau moesegol effeithio ar agweddau at drosedd a chosbedigaeth<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      As someone is sure to ask, the questions were given in both English and Welsh as I studied at Bangor University<\/a> in North Wales.<\/p>\n

      I really went to town with the revision notes (considering the exam was only 1.5 hours long!) so there is a load of interesting stuff in here that covers both ethics and theological ethics.<\/p>\n
