Page 4 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0457 33 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Further guidance – whilst candidates should only discuss ‘threats’ from the Source, as listed above in the Mark Scheme, the assessment is focussed mainly upon their reasoning/justification. Level of Response and Marks Description of Level Level 4: Strong Response 4 marks Clearly reasoned, credible and structured explanation of which threat is the greatest; may compare different threats; usually two (or more) developed arguments clearly linked to the issue; or a range of undeveloped reasons. Level 3: Reasonable Response 3 marks Some reasoned explanation of which threat is the greatest; usually at least one (or more) developed argument(s) suggested with some link to the issue, but may be implicit at times; or several undeveloped reasons Level 2: Basic Response 2 marks Identifies a threat but argument is weak or not linked to the issue explicitly. Level 1: Limited Response 1 mark Simple identification of a threat but no attempt to justify or the reasoning is not related to the issue. 0 marks No relevant response or creditworthy material. (d) Explain why the loss of indigenous people is an important issue. [6] Indicative Content Candidates are likely to discuss the following reasons drawing upon the information in Sources 1 and 2: • the consequences/impact of the loss of indigenous peoples – e.g. loss of cultural diversity • the benefits of retaining and preserving indigenous peoples for individuals, countries and the world • human rights issues affect us all • issues of value and beliefs about rights and responsibilities • morality – issues of right and wrong from the perspectives of different cultures • in response to government, United Nations and other NGO aims and goals for supporting the rights and ways of life of indigenous peoples • other reasonable responses

Lower in the band a greater proportion of arguments will be left undeveloped. Level 2: Reasonable Response 3–4 Some reasoned explanation of importance; usually one (or more) developed argument(s) with some link to the issue, but may be implicit at times; or several undeveloped reasons. Lower in the band arguments may begin to lack clarity, and/or be partial and generalised. A tendency to assert may be apparent. Level 1: Basic Response 1–2 Basic reasoning and explanation; the response is likely to contain simple, undeveloped and asserted explanation, with only undeveloped points. Arguments are partial, generalised and lack clarity. Lower in the band the arguments are likely to be very generalised, lack relevance to the issue and/or simply recycle/copy material from the Sources without any explanation or development. 0 No relevant or creditworthy material

You should consider the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments and evidence in Source 3. [6] Indicative Content Candidates are likely to discuss the following evaluative points: • Strengths o some factual evidence is used o several different types of evidence are used – opinion, expert views, argument from authority o the evidence is generally relevant o the evidence is related clearly and explicitly to the argument o the evidence is used forcefully in a strongly worded argument o uses positive evidence/argument to support the case e.g. benefits of exploiting resources o other reasonable response • Weaknesses o predictions are weak as they are based on trends which may not continue o research evidence is partially cited – the date and source are not fully clear o expertise of the author is not clear/asserted – may have poor knowledge claims o method of research is alleged/unclear o little systematic research used as evidence o there is no clear, specific statistical/numerical evidence o the evidence is not easy to verify/check from the information provided o too much reliance on opinion o evidence may be out of date o personal testimony/anecdote/values/research may not apply to other places/countries etc. o other reasonable response

Evaluation is clearly focussed upon the evidence, its strengths and/or weaknesses, and the way it is used to support the point of view. A convincing overall assessment or conclusion is reached. L3: Reasonable Response 3–4 Reasonable evaluation mainly focussed on the evidence, its strengths and/or weaknesses, and the way it is used to support the claim. The response may contain one (or more) developed point(s), usually with some other undeveloped points. Some (2 or more) undeveloped points may be sufficient. An overall assessment or conclusion is attempted. L2: Basic Response 1–2 Limited evaluation which is often unsupported and asserted. The response lacks clarity, is partial and generalised. It is likely to contain one undeveloped point only. Answers at this level may repeat source material with little understanding. An overall assessment or conclusion is weak or not attempted. 0 No relevant or creditworthy material

The response is likely to contain two (or more) developed points, and may contain some undeveloped points. The response is clearly and explicitly related to testing the statement. Level 2: Reasonable Response 3–4 Reasoned and mainly credible explanation of ways to test the statement. The response is likely to contain one (or more) developed point(s), and/or a range of undeveloped points. The response is implicitly related to testing the statement. Level 1: Basic Response 1–2 Basic explanation of ways to test the statement. The response is likely to contain one or two simple, undeveloped and asserted points. There is very little, if any, relevance in the response to testing the statement. 0 No relevant or creditworthy material Further Guidance If methods, sources and types of evidence are simply listed and not related in any way (explicitly or implicitly) to the issue of the truth of the statement about the impact of the internet on traditional cultures, then the maximum level is Level 1. 3 (a) Identify one fact from Source 4. Explain why you think it is a fact. [3] Indicative Content A fact is generally defined as information or data that can be verified or proven to be true. The following examples of facts may be found in Source 4: • some people believe that we need to preserve indigenous people • the author finds the counterarguments more convincing • research by the United Nations shows that there is a higher standard of living in countries where … • Sir Peter Plummer estimates … • They (governments and multinational companies) see traditional religions and cultures as outdated superstition and myth … • 1% of the population owns over 50% of the world’s wealth

Page 12 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0457 33 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 (c) Whose reasoning works better, Wanda’s or Carol’s? In your answer you should support your point of view with their words and phrases and you may consider: • the strength of their knowledge claims; • how reasonable their opinions are; • whether you accept their values and why; • the reliability and validity of their evidence; • other relevant issues. [12] Indicative Content Candidates are expected to evaluate the reasoning in the two statements and compare their effectiveness. They should make a supported judgement with some explanation about which person has the most effective reasoning. Candidates may consider the following types of issue: • quality of the argument o clarity o tone – emotive; exaggerated; precise o language o balance o use of arguments/counterarguments • quality of the evidence o relevance o sufficiency – sample o source – media; radio o date – how recent o factual, opinion, value, anecdote o testimony – from experience and expert • knowledge claims • ability to see • sources of bias o gender o political o personal values o experience • likelihood of solutions working and consequences of their ideas • acceptability of their values to others o how likely other people are to agree with their perspective/view

Page 13 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0457 33 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 The following levels of response should be used to award marks: Level and Marks Description of Level L5: Very Good Response 11–12 Clear, credible and well supported points about which reasoning works better. Coherent, structured evaluation of both arguments with clear comparison. The response is likely to contain three (or more) developed evaluative points, and may include some undeveloped points. A clear judgement is reached. L4: Strong Response 8–10 Clear, supported points about which reasoning works better. Evaluation of how well the reasoning works for both arguments with comparison. The response is likely to contain two (or more) developed evaluative points and may include some undeveloped points. A wide range (four or more) of undeveloped but clearly appropriate points may be sufficient to enter this band at the lower level. A judgement is reached. L3: Reasonable Response 5–7 Reasonable points about which reasoning works better. Some evaluation of how well the reasoning works for one or both arguments with an attempt at comparison. Judgements and evaluative points are likely to be partially supported or asserted. One (or more) developed evaluative point(s), possibly with some undeveloped points; a range (three or more) of undeveloped points may be sufficient to enter this band at the lower level. An attempt is made to give an overall judgement. L2: Basic Response 3–4 Basic points about which reasoning works better. There may be only one argument considered in any detail, with little attempt at comparison. Judgements and evaluative points are likely to be partially supported and lack clarity/relevance at times. The response is likely to contain two (or more) undeveloped points. A basic judgement may be reached. L1: Limited Response 1–2 Limited and unsupported points about which reasoning works better. The response is likely to consider the arguments briefly and/or tangentially. There is little clarity. Answers at this level may repeat source material with little understanding or simply agree/disagree with the arguments presented. 0 No relevant or creditworthy material

Page 14 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0457 33 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 4 Do you think that local cultures should be protected? In your answer you should: • state your conclusion; • give reasons for your opinion; • use the material in the Sources and your own experience and evidence; • show that you have considered different perspectives and counterarguments. [18] Indicative Content Candidates are expected to argue using reasons and evidence to justify their opinion and judgment about the issue i.e. the protection of local cultures. Candidates are expected to use and develop the material found in the Sources, but should go beyond simply repeating or recycling without adaptation. Other material may be introduced but it is not necessary to gain full marks. Candidates are likely to consider the following arguments as applied to the protection of local cultures: • reference to scale of impact of change on culture/way of life of individuals/groups/governments • majority vs. minority rights and responsibilities • how long it takes to make a difference • the effects of cultural differences and beliefs • barriers to change/protection • the power of collective action e.g. cooperation between countries/threatened cultures • the difficulties of changing behaviour • the influence of individuals and groups acting locally • the role of vested interests and power differences • potential conflict • difficulties in coordinating globally and across different countries with independence • cost and access to resources to implement change • governmental responses and action • other reasonable response
