A Fair World?

I think this topic is going to be about how much some people take things for granted, for example, where do diamonds come from? How are they mined? They definitely don't appear from no-where, sometimes they're mined by children as young as 5 years old. I think it's to ask us, how much do you really know about what goes on in the world?
I think we're learning this to know how we can improve the state of the world, to figure out what it's going to be like in the future. Does it effect us? Why is it happening? How can we help?
I'm interested to know how aware we really are about our changing world. By the end of the topic I want to state if I think it's a fair world and justify WHY.

Natural Hazard Presenttion Reflection

The feedback that was given to us as a group I think will definitely help us in our Presentation in the real fair. The feedback was to have a key terms list, to slow down while speaking, and to practice what we were going to say before we said it. I think this is very important feedback that, if we apply properly, can make our presentation easier to understand. I tend to do nervous habits like comb my fingers through my hair or bite my nails. I think I need to overcome this in order to look confident, which makes it less awkward for the viewers.

REFLECTION HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE

I was aiming for Analyse, and I’ve hit most of the semi-categories within that. I also wanted to heard towards LINK on the IDEAL mountain, and I've achieved SOME of them. I have achieved most things at the start of the ladder, but started only semi-achieving towards the end. 

I feel that I've hit Analyse, and definitely TRIED to move on to LINK.

Next time I would organise the media part of my outcome, the iMovie of pictures. It didn’t really work, and some of the pictures didn’t relate to my story. I think I rushed that bit. I liked writing and reading my story, so I think I would keep that the same.

 Teamwork

1. A team is a group of people who work together to produce an outcome. Teamwork is when this team works well and everyone participates to help each other solve a problem.
2. A successful team is a team that is respectful of other opinions, but that works together to create one strong opinion. They also use teamwork to organise the process of building and presenting the outcome.
3. I think this team can be on the analyse part of the level ladder, but the individuals can also focus on their own expectations.

I think I am a shaper, because, although I don't like upsetting people to get the task done, I do tend to want to get things done, and I like to take everyone's opinion and put it in to one strong opinion. I feel like in some areas, if I don't take charge, then nothing will get done. I don't really like this bit in my personality, because when I work in a team with another shaper, there are conflicts and people tend to dislike me at that time.

I've done the scores, and I am four characters in the team roles. The three highest scores are Resource Investigator (which got 12 points) and Shaper (which also got 12 points), but interestingly my highest was an Implementer, which got 16 points. It was interesting that I got an implementer, but there are some characteristics that match with my personality, the quote "They are not afraid of hard work and prefer to tackle tasks in a systematic way" proves that.

Deciding on my concept 

The category I've chosen in the Human Rights topic is Child Labour, as highlighted on my mind map. I have chosen child labour because I know I have been very lucky in my life, I've had choices, options, and I've had a very healthy and fulfilling life as a child. I can't imagine what it would be like if these things were taken away from me. I think we need to help these children who don't have these things, and that work 8 hours a day, and who are only as young as six years old. If we do this, it will create a better future, with no poverty, no hunger, no war. Everything is linked ("no poverty - education - job - money - food = HEALTHY LIFESTYLE" or "no poverty - no war over money - peace = HEALTHY WORLD).

Powerpoint Presentation

 Outfit Design

 1 - The top is going to be made out of binliners, because one of the jobs for Children in poor countries is to pick up rubbish from the rubbish tip.
2 - It's a polo neck to show the kind of strangulation and being removed from a healthy life. Also the children are tortured a lot, some of the methods might be strangulation.
3 - It's tight to show how skinny and how deprived of food the children are.
