How to combat modern slavery…. Ted talks Kevin Bales:

Key words: slavery, economic, destitute, vulnerable, commodity, liberation, economic autonomy, Sustainable freedom, heredity slavery

Listen to the talk and answer the following questions: 1.    What made this man sit up and listen about modern day slavery? When he saw that in a leaflet, there were millions of slaves in the world and he was very surprised he did not know that, when he did a press piece with the key word slavery, 2998 of them were about historical slavery, while 2 of them were of modern day slavery, but they had no solid information, so he decided to find out more 2.   What are ‘slave based businesses’? What are the benefits? Slave based businesses are businesses that use slaves for it’s own personal gains. Slavery’s benefits is that you can keep most of the profits to yourself, as the slaves will receive very little or no benefits. Also, you can increase your businesses output, as the slaves work 24/7 3.   What are modern day slaves? People who are forced to work with no pay, 24/7 under the threat of violence. 4.   Where is modern day slavery happening? It is happening it almost every country on earth, excluding Iceland and Greenland 5.   How many people were there in slavery during 2010? 27 million slaves 6.   What are some of the reasons behind modern day slavery? Firstly, it is because of the population boom, also it is caused by factors such as corrupt governments, civil wars, natural disasters, poverty etc. Finally, in some countries there is no law regarding slaves, so slave drivers can treat them however they like 7.   What is the average price of a slave today? 90 dollars 8. Where are slaves: More expensive?           Less expensive?           Why do you think this? Slaves are more expensive in the European regions with in the African and Asian region they are much cheaper. This is because European slaves are most likely to be more physically fit than African and Asian slaves 9.How can we combat modern day slavery? We can raise funds to liberate them 10. What is liberation? . It's about helping people to build lives of dignity, stability, economic autonomy, citizenship. 11. How much does it cost to free slavery? It’s estimated cost is around 10.8 billion dollars Are you willing to live in a world with slavery? Why/Why not? No I am not willing to live in a world with slaves, I believe that everyone has equal right, no race or religion is better than the other. Human ignorance and pride has caused the slave trade. If w all can live as equals, this problem we not have happened

Summarise the key points… A slave is someone who is forced to work 24.7 with no or little pay under the threat of violence Almost every country on the globe, excluding Greenland and Iceland have more than 500,000 reported slaves. The reasons slaves exist now are because of four main reasons, the population boom, the occurrences of events such as civil wars, natural disasters etc. that makes people feel vulnerable and weak, corrupt governments and there is no rule of law protecting slaves. The reason people become slaves is because either someone offers them a job but turns out there were enslaving them or it because they are a victim of heditary slavery. To stop slavery, they cannot just buy them from the slaveholder as that would be pointless and they may return to slavery again. To properly free slaves they must perform liberation, which is not to buy the slaves and to give them services like education, healthcare etc. to prevent them from becoming slaves again The global estimated cost of free all the slaves it approximately 10.8 billion dollars, on a global scale, that amount is minute.

	5 key statements statements that you think are interesting or important. ü  our conservative estimate is that there are 27 million people in slavery today. This means that there are more people in slavery today than at any other time in human history. ü  Slaves today are cheaper than they have ever been. Since they are so cheap, slaves are today are not considered a major investment worth maintaining. ü  An average slave in the American South in 1850 cost the equivalent of $40,000 in today’s money; today a slave costs an average of $90. ü  slavery feeds directly into the global economy, it makes sense that we would be concerned by the ways in which slavery flows into our homes through the products we buy and the investments we make ü  Slavery happens in nearly every country in the world, and the US and Europe are not immune.
	What ‘perspectives’ would this support? Personal        National        Global         Future This articles talks on a global perspective, as they mentioned slave trade and it’s affects in countries round the world like Africa, India etc.
My Summary of the article This article was talking about the slave trade in the world today. A slave is someone who is forced to work with little or no pay under the threat of violence Today there are more slaves in the world compared to past human history. This is mainly because of three reasons, the population boom, lack of security during events like civil wars, natural disasters and corrupt governments. This three factors makes people slaves. This organization wishes to spot slavery in it’s tracks by performing liberation, which is to free a slave but not buying him off the slaveholder then they will provide services like education, healthcare etc. to make sure they do not walk down the path of slavery again

Peak Oil Project (Individual Reflection)

 As preparation for our real project that will be coming up soon, we did a mock project on peak oil to allow us to understand the work that we would we dealing with in the real project. Firstly, as a group we allocated roles to research each of the perspectives of peak oil. I felt that we worked together in harmony and was able to complete the task with ease.

Next, Mr James asked us to do a fish bone diagram to summarize all the information we needed, the diagram was neat an tidy and we were able to proceed with our next phase, In our next phase we had to decide how we would convey our message of effects and management of peak oil.There was some conflict here as we could not decide on what we should do, but in the end after much discussion all of us came to a decision to teach the younger years on peak oil. We hen had to come up with segments on how to teach, what to teach and any teaching tools we may have to use.

This phase of the project was tedious, as the group members had to be pushed to do work, most lacked motivation to work and most of the work was unevenly distributed. I felt that I should have found a way to motive team member to work, so that he work that we come up with will not be sloppy or half baked but in the end, we managed to produce work to be proud of.

A week before our lessons, we decided to get other people's opinion on our project and asked 5 teachers on our project, they all gave helpful comments that really improved the performance of our work, I strong suggested that in our real project we should get other people's opinion on it.

Lesson day! We were quite nervous on the day itself but everything as ready there was no turning back. The lessons went well the year 7 throughoutly enjoyed the lessons and ave good feedback on the lessons. This means we had achieved our aim to successfully teach the younger generation on the effects and management of peak oil.

If I had to improve something, it would be group team effort and work distribution as I felt our group did poorly on those areas, Still, I think that our group achieved quite a lot from this mock prject and now we were ready to face the real one.

Peak Oil Project Reflections

It is time to review your ‘mock project’. As a group discuss and answer these questions on your group wiki/blog/webpage.

The Project

1. What area of study did you choose? Why?

Peak oil, because we were assigned to the topic.It was also a major and present issue

2. What did your group hope to achieve? What was your proposed outcome?

To educate the younger generation on effects and management of peak oil. Our outcome was that we could teach and allow the younger generation to understand the devastating effects of peak oil and how it can be managed or prevented.

3. How could you critically evaluate the success of your outcome?

Work division was imbalanced. Important issues were disagreed on at first and group members did not fully contribute to the tasks at hand

4. What were your specific group roles and responsibilities? How did you organise them? Was the allocation effective?

There was not a definite allocation of role. The work that was presented on that day was divided among each other, this made work allocation flawed and not all group members played a full active roll.

5. Did your project have enough scope for every group member to play an active, full time part in the group work? How could you improve this?

There was not enough scope as we were only doing the global's view so not all members could play a ful active role. Next time, We suggest that we should include more view such as national,self etc to give group members a full and active role

6. Was the workload manageable in the time frame?

The workload was manageable as we ere organized, on track and everything proceeded smoothly

7. How effective were your minutes and agendas at keeping the task on focus? How did they help you? How could you improve them?

The agendas kept the task on focus and on track. The agenda allowed us to remember was was done weeks ago and group members were able to see what was the day's success criteria so our group can reach those objectives and view what homework was given. Improvement can be made by each group member having a editable copy of the agenda so that homework, due dates and other important things can be known by all group members

The Perspectives

1. How did you gather information and opinions/viewpoints from a personal, local/national and global perspective?

We researched online and we also interviewed some teachers

. How did/could you make sure you consider all these perspectives in your project?

We doubled check with our teacher and we interviewed some students and staff of the school

3. Would your outcome need to be accompanied by some additional explanation or elaboration?

Yes, as the generation we are teaching is young. They may need more explanation and elaboration to get the full concepts and ideas

Yes

4. How could you make sure you include cross-cultural views?

We could make it cross-cultural by adding perspectives from multiple countries and embed the governments view as well
