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.
5W's Amnesty International
Who?
Amnesty International was founded by a lawyer called Peter Beneson.
What?
A non-profit / non-governmental organisation the protects human rights around the world.
Where?
It's worldwide in over 150 countries, but is based in London.
When?
Amnesty International was founded in July 1961.
Why?
Peter Beneson started this organisation thanks to two men from Portugal who "toasted (drunk) to liberty (freedom)!" He did not think this was write and also stated "Open your newspaper any day of the week and you will find a story from somewhere of someone being imprisoned, tortured or executed because his opinions or religion are unacceptable to his government."
OFFICIAL MISSION
"To conduct research and generate action to prevent and end grave abuses of human rights, and to demand justice for those whose rights have been violated."
Amnesty International Advert
How does it make you feel?
At first it scared me a little because of the breathing and he running. But then the music started to pick up and I felt more like standing up for myself and other people.
What does it suggest about people and their human rights?
It suggests that not everyone has rights applied to them. It suggests that people need to start standing up for these people.
