what can we learn from the stories we have heard?
In this unit, we've learned about campaigns that have tried to make sure people's legal rights are respected. The stories of the conscientious objectors and the anti-deportation campaigns show how important it is to stick to what you believe is right, even when things are difficult. They've also shown how the media can help raise awareness about an issue, and how expert advice, for example from lawyers, can help make sure people's legal rights are applied in practice. We've also seen how campaigns can take a long time, and suffer many difficulties before they are successful.
