Discussion

I think people have rights because without rights you wouldn’t be free and people might not let you so things that you want to do. (Rebecca)

You will just be a slave if you have no rights. Andre

If you didn’t have rights it would be really hard to live life. Billie

If people didn’t have rights the government wouldn’t do any work they would just get people to do it for them. Anthony

If people didn’t have any rights there wouldn’t be any freedom. Cynthia

I disagree with Andre because the government might not decide that everyone would be a slave. Louis

I agree with Andre because if there was a government that said you had no rights you would become a slave. Zinder

I agree with Louis because the G wouldn’t be mean to people just because they didn’t have rights. Texas

2.I think it isn’t fair how people are living in Libya because the g shouldn’t be able to do what they like. They should be sorting out things not making problems. Sophie

I think it isn’t fair because the country belongs to the people that live in the country and so the person that leads the country should be someone they like and makes good decisions. (Archie)

I think it is unfair the people in Libya have to live with a greedy g. Billie

I think it is not fair because the g shouldn’t rule over the whole country they should have some place where they can be free. Anthony

I think it is unfair because when we were reading the Nelson Mandela book it said that black people can’t vote and white people can vote. Zinder

I think it isn’t fair if there is fighting in Libya you should be able ot go to another country for a year. Texas

I think it isn’t fair because it is mean how they make people stay in the country when there is lots of fighting because it would be unfair to the children because they were not the ones who started it. Phoebe

I disagree with Texas because if there is fighting you can’t expect to go to any country and be allowed in. You have to ask the Prime Minister will let you in. Marcus

I don’t think it is fair because the g is shooting people when they least expect it, invading their homes and when people die it is sad for their friends and family. Nellie

I agree with Phoebe because the g can’t do what they want to. Zac

I disagree with Marcus because what if you didn’t know about the fighting. Emily

I think it isn’t fair because some children in Libya have nothing to do with the fighting and will get badly hurt. Texas

I disagree with Marcus and agrees Texas because you can be sent to another country as a refugee. Cynthia

I agree with Texas and children don’t have anything to protect themselves with when the fighting is happening. Zac
