__Questions__ 1. China is the centre of global attention right now, what are they being criticised for? 2. What did the Chinese authorities say that allowing Beijing to host the Olympics would help? 3. What does the 'clean up' entail? 4. What is a peaceful activist? 5. What is a legacy? 6. What do you think Human Rights means?

Task Two:
Click on the following link and read the article 'Background' Choose one the following human rights issues to read about and complete a six hat (except for the blue hat) analysis of the article. Present this on one full page in your homestudy book, folded into 6 sections, one for each hat and a title in the spare box. It may be difficult to think of 'yellow hat' points, but you can comment on the benefits for the Chinese government by not upholding the human rights related to each issue. Be clear about who is benefitting when you complete this section.
