My Issue
My issue is asylum seekers. I am reading a book at the moment called The Other Hand, which follows the life of a Nigerian refugee trapped in a detention centre in the UK. I’m really interested in this and how it’s handled in different areas. That’s why I chose asylum seekers.

Questions that you need to answer while researching your issue:

a)   What is your issue?
Asylum Seekers (difference between asylum seekers and refugees: asylum seeker are people who are waiting to here a decision from the government that is whether they can stay in the country, refugees are people who have heard a positive decision and they are allowed to stay in the country they  asylum from (actual definition: people who have fled from their home country for reasons of war, abandonment etc).

Does everyone have access to their rights?

 LI's (what should I have learned by the end of this task?)
- To know the 5W's of Amnesty International
- To evaluate whether everyone has acces to their human rights
- To reflect on others situation.

SC's (what do I have to do to meet these learning intentions?)
- To be able to find specific cases where rights are not applied (to empathise)
- To be able to move on to the Analyse bit on the Level Ladder.

I don't think everyone has access to their human rights, such as places in LEDC's (Less Economically Developed Countries). Children have to go to work, food and water aren't equal to everyone etc. But some countries in MEDC's are taking away freedom of thought/religion or in some countries such as Saudi Arabia women aren't even allowed to drive.
