3. The Central Idea in my own words
The many things that you do can agree or disagree to access
the rights and chances.
4. Deconstructing the Central Idea
Actions support or deny access to rights and opportunities
1.Actions - things that you do
2. Support - agreeing with something or helping achieve
something
3. Deny - not agreeing with something
4.Access - allowed in something for example - i have access to
my bedroom
5. Rights - A rule that should be respected
6. Opportunities - a chance
12. The Central Idea
From based on what I’ve learnt from this unit, I think the central
idea is true. I think this because actions do support access to
rights and opportunities, and other actions can deny access to
rights and opportunities.They are both correct in different ways.
Support:
The actions that support rights and opportunities could be the
following:
1. organization like UNICEF, they help children with difficulties
2. your own personal action, you can take action your self by donating and spending time with humans (children) who don’t have
opportunities like we do, or if their rights are being denied.
Deny:
The actions that deny rights and opportunities could be the
following:
1. not caring about other children and what situations they are in
2. not allowing children to have their basic essential needs, also making them your slaves
13. The Central Idea
My understanding:
I understand the central idea well. I understand that actions can
support or deny rights and opportunities. Depending on the action
that you take, it could either have a good impact on the people or
harm them. So if you make bad choices like not caring about it then
that would be harming them (as the central idea would say
“denying”), but if you make good choices like taking action
(“supporting”), then you would be helping. Bad action would be like
dumping more and more garbage into their homes or declare war
on them. Basically things that can harm them.The good choices
would be caring for them, visiting them, donating money etc.. Some
examples of people or organizations that took action could be:
Iqbal Masih, a lady called Kim Saville that organized a school called
St. Jude school ofTanzania, International labor organization and
UNICEF.
14. The Central Idea
Proving the Central Idea:
I know that the central idea is correct because of all the
information that i’ve collected through books, internet, and guest
speakers. In all the books that I’ve read, the articles I’ve looked on
the internet, and the notes that I’ve jotted during hearing the guest
speakers have all helped me gain knowledge about children’s rights
and if they are denied or supported.
Examples:
1. Kim Saville helped open a school for the brightest most poor children - SUPPORTS the rights of children - as a result those
children get an OPPORTUNITY to learn new things.
2.TheTaliban made new rules that DENIED human rights. here is a link to a website which shows all the things that theTaliban does
to “woman” maybe even some girls http://www.rawa.org/rules.htm
3. ILO helped rescue a boy from working in a farm to make chocolate - SUPPORTS the rights of children. Unfortunately he might
have to go back because his family was poor.
4. Iqbal: Iqbal Masih worked in a carpet factory in Pakistan. He didn’t feel safe and comfortable there so he escaped. He thought it was
very unfair to make children people’s slaves, so he decided to call an organization (I don’t know the name) to help him free the children
who are in child labor. Later on he made speeches about letting children go and free them form child labor. Some people didn’t like
how he was freeing children from child labor because the masters won’t get anymore money. So at the age of 12 or 13 Iqbal was shot
dead. - Iqbal SUPPORTED the rights of children by trying to free them from child labor:“Article 32
You have the right to protection from work that harms you, and is bad for your health and edu- cation. If you work, you have the
right to be safe and paid fairly.
17. The Central Idea
Circumstances and opportunities:
Children in different countries are in circumstances which do not
really involve them but because of the roughness of the masters
and adults that abuse them, they are in situations that are harmful
to them.They have very little opportunities to learn and to eat
nutritious food. But because of organizations that care, their rights
would be able to be supported.They are also able to attend
schools with good education and they are able to eat at least some
nutritious foods.
Other children in the world are in better circumstances, where they
have a bed, a family, and healthy, nutritious food.They don’t have to
work long hours just to get a little money because their parents
already have good jobs that earn lots of money.They chances of
opportunities are very high, in other words they have a better
chance of going to school and being free.
18. The Central Idea
BeiJing tanks rolling over college students:
In BeiJing 4th of June1989, there were students about 19 - 23 were
protesting against the government.They were trying to get their
rights, but consequently the tanks of the government rolled over
them and they got killed.The government is denying their rights
because they are not letting them to have a chance to speak out.
They only want everybody to listen to them, not to anybody else.
