Social Studies Reflection Summary

Social Studies Reflection Summary

I conducted a Social Inquiry of the Human Rights issues in Syria. The main causes of these Human Rights being violated are because of a group of rebels named ISIS terrorising Syria. This group kills all humans that belong to the Christian religion. The Consequences of these actions if ISIS soldiers are caught they would be executed and if they are still not captured they will be targeted. In some occasions parts of Syria where ISIS were last seen or has thought to be ISIS headquarters had been targeted with missiles to try and take out remaining soldiers or equipment that may help them in their war path.

In the perspective of ISIS they think they are doing the right thing. They think that there belief in their God (Allah) grows stronger every time they kill a person who believes in a different God.

In my own perspective I think that what they are doing is bad. Killing someone just because there not believing in the same thing that your believing is wrong. Every person deserves to serve and believe in their own God.

Union Trade

If farmers join Union of Fair Trade children would not need to work in Cocoa farmers. This would stop Child Labour or decrease the number of children in Child Labour. They would get more money and the profit that will be made will go back to the community.  The community can buy a water pipes for cleaner and fresher water and can buy corn mills.
