B. Please choose the issue that is most important to you. Tell us how it affects your lives and why you would like to change it.

We think that use of narcotics and other drugs is the most important issue to us.It does not really affect our lives, but we would like to change it because it’s dangerous to use any kind of drugs.

C. If you could take action to improve this issue, or to make others more aware of it, what would you do?

We don’t really think that WE could do anything about the issue, but there should be more treatment-clinics for drug-addicts, to detoxicate them from drugs.

A. As a class, please agree and list the five national issues that most affect your lives and that you would like to change.
Child abuse
Women abuse
Rapes·
Homeless people
Racism

B. Please choose the one issue that is most important to you. Tell us how it affects your country and why you would like to change it.

We think that child abuse is the most important issue to us.The more child abuse there is, the more violence there will be when the abused children grow up. Because they’ve learnt that violence is a good thing.All kids should have the exactly same rights and the opportunity to a good and safe childhood.

C. If you could take action to improve this issue, or to make others more aware of it, what would you do?
Maybe the issue would change in a positive way if there were compulsory parenting lessons for youths and grown-ups.BEFORE they have kids. Just so they know how to take care of children properly.

A. As a class, please agree and list what you think are the top five worldwide issues that we should be concerned about today.
Poverty and Starvation
Wars
Terrorism
Child labour
Lack of water

B. Please choose one of these issues and tell us why you think it is important that we work together to improve this issue.

We think that poverty and starvation is the most important issue, because everybody should have the same rights and opportunities.If everybody cooperate and try to get along with each other, then therewould probably be less wars in the world, and there would be less poverty and starvation.

C. If you could take action to improve this issue, or to make others more aware of it, what would you do?

You can send money to the poor countries, send clothes to the people.Even if these things are just small, it helps a few people, and that’s better than nothing.There should be information about what you can do to improve the poverty and starvation. All the people have to work together.There could be “voluntary groups” that anybody who would like to help for free could enter.
