Example paragraph from an 80+ GAMSAT Essay
“In the current polito-economic landscape of most nation states, health and healthcare are contentious issues. It is this very discourse that leads me to both research the realities and explore my own values and beliefs in relation to the notion of health. This surveying of my mental landscape led me to one unwavering belief: “healthcare is not a privilege, it is a right.” When this statement became core to the way I understand the human condition, I started to question if the societies I live in have come to embody the opposite of this belief in practice. This line of questioning led me to understand one of the most fundamental mechanisms in the way modern societies function. This mechanism is the domineering politico-economic ideology. Neoliberalism. Through observation we can see it functions to commodify most aspects of the human experience and does so very drastically in the case of healthcare.”
