A Note to my AS Class

Hello! Hope you are remembering to have a look on this blog for help with revision! Not a lot on Utilitarianism at the moment, I'm afraid, but there will be some to come ... watch this space! In the meantime, read through your notes, highlight the key passages, and summarise what you are learning, so you can revise from it more easily in the few weeks to come. Good luck!

Abolition of the Slave Trade

I've just been pointed towards another anti-slavery website, Set All Free. AS class ... how might utilitarians view slavery? What about absolutists, or relativists?

CAFOD KidzZone

Click here in order to go to the CAFOD Kidzzone - find out more about Fair Trade, or hunt around for information about Lent, for example the Live Simply campaign.

Forgiveness

Task:

Click on The Forgiveness Project website. Go to stories, and read through some of the stories of reconciliation and conflict resolution.

In your book, summarise three of the stories you think are most interesting. You could copy out the key quotes into your book.

Then post a comment on this blog saying which story you find most inspirational, motivating or hopeful, and why. Leave your first name or your initials so I can see who has completed the task.

Abolition of the Slave Trade

Today is the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade. The BBC website has lots of information about the Slave Trade and how it's abolition was brought about in the UK. But remember, there are still people who are enslaved today. You could also visit the Anti-Slavery webpage to find out more about modern day slavery.

Live Simply

If you have looked at the CAFOD site, you might have seen the Live Simply promises being mentioned. Have a look at the Live Simply webpage to find out more ... Is there a promise there that you could keep during Lent?

More Fairtrade Fortnight resources

You can find out more about Fairtrade Fortnight at the CAFOD website. Year 9s can use this to help with your homework over the next two weeks; GCSE students will find info on here to help with Unit C5, Religion: Wealth and Poverty. There is even a student-friendly page that I have just found, as part of the Big Deal site.
