TinyTiny Tim is the main catalyst for Scrooge’s change in A Christmas Carol. To what extent do you agree? In Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”‚ the character of Scrooge goes through a transformation which results in him being a generous and considerate man instead of a cruel and bitter one.

To what extent do you agree or disagree that corporations can (or should) try to change consumer behaviour? Base your argument on your reading as well your own knowledge/experience/opinions. As the modern world is becoming more and more complex and competitive‚ money and profitability are key words for most companies.

It has been argued that Charles I was the main reason that war broke out. I will be investigating whether this is
