    AQA GCSE · Question 02.1 · Active Citizenship

    Your Active Citizenship Investigation

    State what your investigation is about:

    Explain whether your chosen issue was mainly a local issue, a national issue or a global issue.

    How to approach this question

    First, clearly state the topic of your citizenship investigation in the space provided. Then, identify whether the issue is primarily local, national, or global. Justify your choice with a brief explanation, and for full marks, consider how it might also connect to the other levels.

    Full Answer

    This question assesses your ability to understand the scale of a citizenship issue. A 'local' issue is specific to a town or neighbourhood (e.g., a dangerous road). A 'national' issue affects the whole country (e.g., NHS funding). A 'global' issue transcends borders (e.g., climate change). Most issues have links between these scales. For example, plastic pollution in a local park (local issue) is part of a national waste strategy problem (national issue) and contributes to ocean plastic (global issue). A good answer will identify the primary scale and briefly explain these connections.

    Common mistakes

    Only stating the scale (e.g., 'it was local') without any explanation. To get both marks, you must explain *why* it is a local, national, or global issue.
