Global Context

Fairness and Development

Includes:

• Inequality, difference and inclusion

• Human capability and development; social entrepreneurs

• Rights, law, civic responsibility and the public sphere

• Justice, peace and conflict management

 • Power and privilege

• Authority, security and freedom

• Imagining a hopeful future.

Fairness is the equality of being able to judge someone while being free of discrimination and development is the act of progress or growth. These two are related as as there can be no fairness without developing quality first. For example, as kids we were taught to be fair to one and another, but to gain this quality we were reminded by teachers, parents adults and so on.

Examples of development are:

·        College

·        Developing nations

·        U.S constitution

Bullying affects 3.2 million people of this world’s population. From cyber bullying to physical or oral bullying. Not only teenagers are affected by bullying, but also adults. Although more teenagers are affected by bullying adult bullying can sometimes get more extreme. One of the biggest reasons of bullying for adults is either about looks, money or race and colour.

Communication  and Information Literacy:

Communication-

For communication I will create a small display so that the year sevens will be fascinated and will feel the urge to read through the booklet. Another tactic that will help is to add a lot of pictures and big fonts to attract the grade sevens. I will use warm and cool colors to create a mix of emotions as the grade sevens are reading it and I will also use bullet points to make the information seem like less and to make it look easier and faster to read.

Information Literacy-

During the topic of making the booklet, I will be using the skills of researching on the internet to find out as much information as possible about storage devices for the booklet I will be creating as my project for the year 7’s. The main research engine that I will be using is Google and sites such as Wikipedia (only the valid information), but I will also be choosing BBC bite size since we have been told it is a very reliable source. Since I aimed this booklet for a younger grade, I will choose simpler writing and lots of pictures so that the students will not get bored by the booklet when they read it.  I will also use bullet points just so that it would give the impression that the children had to read less. I will also surf the internet for any types of fast models I could create to make the booklet look and seem more interesting.
