    On the trail of the 'Detectorists'

Called it "architectural correctness"... "It's a slogan of conformist unoriginality..."

Today, the pre-release titles were announced. Students will be expected to prepare OPTION 4: The World of Cultural Diversity • Explore what is meant by a global culture, how it is defined and, if it exists, what its characteristics are. • Research contrasting locations, some of which show the effects of cultural globalisation and others which seem to be resisting the process.
