<p>“…The philosophes wanted freedom of the press and freedom of religion, which they considered “Natural rights” guaranteed by “natural law.” In their view, progress depended on these freedoms.” - wikipedia"</p>
<p>^ I think that loosely translates into democratic ideals, more so than societal reform.</p>
<p>I put societal reform but that could’ve been wrong. =/</p>
<p>And yeah, does anyone remember what the difference between British colonization of South Africa/India was? I don’t remember the question, but I remember I semi-guessed on it but was pretty sure of my answer.</p>
<p>i think its reform. i just read the barrons and kaplan and they both state that thomas hobb and voltaire, 2 major representatives of the period, believed in monarchy and socialism.</p>
<p>haha the graph population was from my biology class 3 years. its graph of india and france in modern day. so answer was something like impoverish undeveloped vs organized developed</p>
<p>^pretty sure those werent even choices. i think it was combos of high/low birth rate and high/low death rate. Females at 70-75 was BOLDED on my test at least.</p>
<p>Voltaire believed in freedom of speech. Hobbes was not a philosophe, he was english.</p>
<p>For the graph, I put high birth/low birth, to low birth/high birth.</p>
<p>It wasn’t developed/undeveloped because the slightly more stable one was still unstable. A developed country would have even amounts of people in each age group.</p>
<p>@ collegebound41: Actually, yeah it was. It was something like, poor vs. wealthy/developed or something.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember about the question that asked which British action in India did not lead to the independence movement (or something like that)? I remember educating an elite class was one of the choices, but I don’t remember the rest.</p>
<p>The Erasmus question was about humanism. I think I put “end justifies the means” as the one he wouldn’t agree with.</p>
<p>^oh really? gah thats 2 wrong after picking the wrong chinese river lol. I think i got the erasmus ones, i got pretty lucking with guessing. oh there was a ghandi question about shagayatra, which was the answer.</p>
<p>kh was that question that had like english as the main language?</p>
<p>Felt it was odd that this discussion hasn’t started rolling yet, so here goes! :D</p>
<p>I felt that the test was actually easier than the one in June, albeit, slightly. Always a few curve balls, but overall, manageable. Let’s start compiling answers!</p>
