First Task

In class, we have been discussing different issues from around the world and the ways that people deal with and react to them. You have read news articles in class and analysed them.

Your task this week is to choose an issue that is important or of interest to you, and become an expert on that issue. You could find an issue or problem by looking at news websites (have a look at some of the links I've posted), reading newspapers, watching or listening to the news, or talking with friends, teachers and family members about what they think is interesting and important.

Write responses to the following, and include links to any websites you have used:

1. Briefly describe the issue or problem that you have chosen. (Give details about Who, What, When, Where and Why it is a problem.) You will use this for your final report, so make sure you give plenty of detail.
   

The comment Bahar has posted is a good example of what you need to do for this task.

YOUR COMMENTS MUST BE WRITTEN IN YOUR OWN WORDS! DO NOT CUT AND PASTE SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY ELSE HAS WRITTEN!!!!
