rights in practice 5

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. 

activity 1


In this activity, think about the stories you've heard in the unit and try and answer the questions about how people might ensure that the rights they have in law are applied in practice.
