A group of university students decided to hold a rave party up in some nearby mountains one December and advertised it on Facebook. Three bands attended the three-day party and there was 24-hour music. One young girl described it as a living hell, although why she stayed is unfathomable: 'The dance area was in a valley, and to get a drink of water you had to climb a steep hill. Even then, the water was dirty and brown. The toilets were so far away that nobody bothered to use them. The music pounded all night and the floor vibrated so you couldn't sleep. My friend was unwell and there was no medical help. The organisers didn't have a clue. They just wanted to make a fast buck'.

a) Find three similar events where something has gone wrong, and discuss both the social and political outcomes of the incidents.

b) Provide a prevention plan to circumvent one of the unsatisfactory conditions that occurred at this rave party.

c) If this event was described to the authorities as a 'cultural festival', would the description be accurate? Why?

d) With reference to the concept of 'duty of care' investigate the legal compliance issues of holding this event.
