S6 CRE Paper 4 Notes: Capitalism, Christianity and Professional Work Ethics

These Senior Six Christian Religious Education notes cover the topic of Christianity and work and development. They begin by explaining how capitalism can widen the gap between rich and poor, then weigh how far Christianity supports or opposes capitalism, using Bible references. The notes then turn to professional ethics: what they are for, the ethics doctors are expected to follow, and the case for and against euthanasia from a Christian point of view. Teachers' professional ethics, ways professionals fall short, and reasons work ethics decline are also covered. Sample essay questions are included at several points to help learners revise for exams.
