Term 2 Week 2

Kia ora Year 10s, this week begins our focus for the term: Whanaungatanga, exploring the ups and downs of kinship. What happens when a society cannot form healthy connections? What issues have plagued our communities? How does prejudice take shape?

To help explore this, and prepare you for the assessment in Week 6, we are beginning our term with a broad overview of human rights. We cannot look at abuses of rights and ill treatment of minority groups in NZ without having a background understanding of what classid ideas of 'rights' are. We will delve into human rights and their origins in the atrocities of Nazi Germany and the Japanese Empire, and how human rights are widely applicable concepts that aren't necessarily backed up by law. 

Success Criteria: I can/have...

• I can analyse the origin of human rights as a response to the atrocities of World War II.
• I can explain a large list of human rights as defined by the UDHR and apply it across different scenarios.
