Speak up! Rights and protest in Aotearoa - English and Social Science

Courses Description

Head of Pathway: Mr G. Van den Hoeven.

Our society is based on the idea that all people are created equal. This means we should all have equal rights and the ability to speak up when things aren’t right. 

But are we all treated equally? How are we treated unequally, now and in the past? Why? What have people done to gain the rights they deserve?

This module will cover:

  • Rights vs responsibilities
  • What ‘rights’ are
  • ‘Freedom to’ and ‘freedom from’
  • Social forces that contribute to unequal rights
  • Rights movements in Aotearoa
