Citizenship Controlled Assessment
Control assessment – Stage 1: Inform Yourself 1.1) What is the citizenship issue you have chosen? What is the reason and why do you think it’s important?
As a group, the first thing we needed to decide on is which task to choose, at the end we democratically concluded to choose task 1, which requires us to “Select a voluntary organisation or a pressure group, investigate their work and take action to advocate their aims”
For this task we had to choose a particular organisation and advocate them, as a group we collectively agreed that Comic Relief should be chosen.
The reason why we bought into the idea of advocating Comic Relief is because we all strongly agree that every human being has rights, and we feel it’s our responsibility to help those who are less fortunate to attain their rights. We all recognised that Comic Relief is perfect to help cure poverty all around the world.
Another reason we chose this group was because of the immense amount of people they had helped. 10,000,000 people protected from malaria, 750,000 voices have been heard and 72,437 children have received an education... All due to Comic Relief!
The main reason I believe poverty is a hugely important issue because people in poverty tend to resort to crime in order to attain their income, and the poor are then labelled and stereotyped as criminals, which is why they are spitted upon in society. Especially if you are a child and you’re growing up in poverty, you will be psychologically affected. Which is why I believe to construct a better future, you will need to eradicate poverty.
The reason I believe this issue is extremely important, is because of the staggering figures. Every 6 minutes a child dies of hunger. So that means every 6 minutes one innocent young innocent human being dies of poverty, so 240 children are dying every 24 hours. A recent report on Channel 4 News also states that poverty figures are rising. So I feel a great way to help get rid of poverty is through
