__Task 3; Inquiry Learning- Human Rights__

Follow the video link and watch this short clip (4:09) about Child Labour. media type="youtube" key="xVuScVCF1Ws&hl=en&fs=1" height="344" width="425"

Answer the following questions; 1. In the clip, there is a chart of the poorest countries in the world. Look for the country who has the highest population of people living on less than US $2 dollars A DAY. Use a[| currency calculator] to work out the value of $2 US in New Zealand dollars and multiply this by 7 to find the weekly wage in $ NZ. Create a shopping list to feed a family of 4 on this weekly amount. Research your prices and make the list as realistic as possible. When you have done this, look at your shopping list and compare it to your current lifestyle.

2. Create 2 lists- in one list, write the positives for the children who work in the factories. In the other list write the drawbacks and negative features of this work. What is your opinion about the overseas factories producing you favourite sports and fashion goods?

3. Look at last week's list of Human Rights. Are any of these rights being broken by the use of child labour in the sweatshops? Does a right have to be totally broken or slightly ignored before we should take action about it?
