c$.$ I don't care $-$ watch out Elon Musk, here I come!

d$.$ I think that this is absolutely true.

e$.$ Even if great fortunes are acquired in a technically legal way, they are always morally problematic.

$7.$ "You won$$t make the poor rich by making the rich poorer." $($Winston Churchill$)$ My personal opinion of what should be done is most closely described by:

a$.$ This is rubbish and we should attack extreme wealth wherever it arises.

b$.$ This is the sort of trite rhetoric that the rich try and sell to the world in order to protect their privilege.

c$.$ This is rubbish. If a few take a huge share, it leaves that much less for the rest. It$$s simple maths.

d$.$ This is absolutely true. Without the money that the rich have, the poor would be that much worse off and lefty socialists would do well to understand this fact.

e$.$ Since my personal aim is to be rich, my opinion here is simple $$ just leave the rich alone.

$8.$Of the top $10$ wealthiest people $($all men$),$ eight are tech billionaires. Their net worth is US$ $1\mathrm{.}1$ trillion or ZAR $22$ trillion!$$ My personal opinion on this statement is most closely described by:

a$.$ I think that such wealth is utterly immoral when there is so much poverty and suffering in the world and so active steps should be taken to correct this.

b$.$ These billionaires are all tech visionaries and deserve every cent of their wealth because of their brilliance.

c$.$ Why would anyone want or need that amount of money?

d$.$ These are my heroes. I aspire to be like them.

e$.$ Bill Gates is one of them and look at how much money he is giving to the poor through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

$9.60\%$ of the world$$s cobalt is mined in the DRC$.$ Significant amounts of this is mined under appalling conditions often by child labourers.$$ My personal opinion on this statement is most closely described by:

a$.$ What$$s cobalt got to do with to me$?$

b$.$ The DRC is a long way from where I live so I don$$t really care.

c$.$ This is just a fact of global supply chains and necessary for global economic growth, which is in everyone$$s best interest.

d$.$ I wonder who is profiting out of this?

e$.$ It breaks my heart to see children exploited. This is morally wrong and must not be allowed.

$10.$Imagine you find out that some students get together, buy good assignments from previous years and submit them as their own.$$ My personal opinion about this practice is most closely described by:

a$.$ I have heard that Unisa might be using sophisticated plagiarism detecting software like Turnitin and, if this is the case, the chances of getting caught are just too great. I don't want to get into trouble.

b$.$ Not only will I participate, I am going to be the one who sells assignments next year for cash.

c$.$ I am not sure what the rules say but if this is against the rules I won$$t do it$.$

d$.$ I am not sure what is the right thing to do here or what is expected of me now that I know this?

e$.$ The problem with cheating is that it undermines everyone's qualification, not just those who are participating

f$.$ Someone needs to report this because it is intellectual fraud, and that someone is going to be me$.$

a$.$ Get over colonialism now!!!!

b$.$ It$$s irresponsible messages like these that frighten foreign investors away from Africa.

c$.$ Colonialism died off decades ago. Why are you still talking about this.

d$.$ Absolutely. As Thomas Sankara said: $$debt is a cleverly managed re$-$conquest of Africa$$

e$.$ This is all managed through ratings agencies who have much more say in the decisions a government takes than the citizens of the country.
