About Unit 3 - Human Rights & Social Justice

Our third unit has showed up in front of my eyes. It's titled "How We Organize Ourselves". This unit is not about how to organize our clothes, or our bed, and etc, it's about social justice and human rights. It's about how the organization help them and everything else about organization. If you don't know what human rights and social justice means, i'll tell you. Social justice means the fairness or law for everyone in the world. Human rights means the basic rights and freedom for all human to have. Our massive summative task is to make an organization with our group. My group is filled with 4 (including me) strong big men, Dennis, Philip, and Antonio. Our group must make an organization, we'll sell brochures and give our best power point presentation. Our group must accomplish these points:

• Name for our organization




• Developed vision and mission




• Values statement




• Organization's structure




• How it is Financed




• Our target




• The activities to help the target




• Resources needed to help the target
  



• Pictures

This task has been flying around my brain which creates a topic which makes me exceeedingly curious of what to do about it. The one topic is child soldiers. My organization is focusing on reducing child soldiers. We (as in the memebers of the organization) feels really sorry for the kids in Latin America, Iraq, Iran, Greece, Turkey,United Kingdom, Sri Lanka, Burma, Phillipines, Indonesia, Singapore, and Africa. The kids their are being treated not well, they have been in the army. The kids there are not educated and that they treat a gun as their toy. The International Alliance helps to reduce this issue. We will make a video of why we should stop child soldier.

There was also a distraction on the way to accomplishing our organization. It wasn't exactly a distraction but a task that is also due. The genesis of this unit was started by a field trip to a Non-Governmental organization. My NGO is called YSKK that stands for Yayasan Sosial Karya Kasih. YSKK helps the elders and also uneducated childrens. We had to take notes in our field trips because we'll make a report about the NGO we went to. Then our group must make a power point presentation. Our group must share to the class of what we learned and what we got in the field trip. The field trip was really useful for us because we'll need some of the information to complete our summative task.

Before we started our unit, we had 3 Deep Thought Provoking Questions or the Ib call it Lines of Inquiry. Our school made 3 of its own for our unit right now. We, as in 6B, must make our own Lines of Inquiry. I have 3 new lines of inquiry which is:

1. Does Indonesia do something to help the child soldiers in the whole world? How?



2. The Government system and structure in Africa



3. Crisis prevention and recovery in Africa
