[1] (ii) Identify the aspect that the lowest percentage of teenagers are happy with from Source 1. [1] Candidates should identify the following from Source 1: (i) Friends (ii) Where you live 1 mark for each correct answer Further guidance - note that the only acceptable answers are listed above. (b) Explain which cause of stress from Source 2 you think has the most impact on teenagers’ lives. [4] Indicative Content The following causes of teenage stress may be identified from the source: • school pressures – changing schools, teacher pressure • pressure from parents / parents’ expectations • working part-time • feeling unsafe • family relationships • lack of time / being too busy • lack of sleep • lack of friends • lack of money Candidates are likely to give the following reasons to justify their choice: • Possible consequences or effects • Degree of impact/seriousness for individuals/countries • How many people/groups/countries/world are affected • Increasing cycle of decline • How widespread the problem is • How easy to solve • Other reasonable response Further guidance – candidates should discuss causes from Source 2 as listed above. However, the assessment is focused mainly upon their reasoning / justification and therefore additional causes should be credited.

Page 11 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – October/November 2016 0457 32 © UCLES 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 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 both arguments with an attempt at comparison. Judgements and evaluative points are likely to be partially supported or asserted. There may be only one argument considered in any detail, with little attempt at comparison. 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. The response may not contain any clear evaluative points. 0 No relevant or creditworthy material

Page 12 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – October/November 2016 0457 32 © UCLES 2016 4 Study Sources 1–4 Do you think governments should be responsible for people’s happiness? In your answer you should support: • 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. [18] Indicative Content Candidates are expected to argue using reasons and evidence to justify their opinion and judgement about the issue. 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: • reference to scale of impact on individual/group/governmental behaviour/actions • how long it takes to make a difference • the effects of cultural differences and beliefs • barriers to change • the power of collective action • the difficulties of changing individual 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 The following levels of response should be used to award marks.
