6. Often, we look at the same things differently...  Consider all the issues that have been discussed so far.  Think about the things that really concern you.  What kinds of issues really get you going?  Ethical? Human Rights? Equality? Feeling safe?  With a partner, try to group issues into the categories on page 3 of your workbook. Or create some more!

7.  Ethical issues – what we think is right or wrong.  Environmental issues – How we look after the environment.  Social issues - relating to the way in which people in groups behave and interact with each other.  Human rights issues - the fundamental rights to which a person is entitled simply because she or he is a human being.  Equality issues –relating to the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities.  Safety and Security issues – the state or feeling of being safe and protected; the assurance that something of value will not be taken away

8. Questions to think about  How difficult was it to group them? Why?  Do they always fall into one category?  Which ones were you drawn to? Why?  Which issues matter the most to you?
