03.01.2022 Year 9 Investigate & Learn About Just Society Year 9 examining a story that illustrates how the ‘veil of ignorance’ can be a helpful thought experiment when evaluating fairness in society. They then engaged in ‘Draw the Line’, a simulation where they are alien special agents who have received ‘intel’ about a newly discovered planet, ‘Earth’, and a new species, ‘Humans’. Participants work in small teams to investigate how the humans have distributed resources and whether peopl...e on Earth live in a just society. Each team shared their findings and students recognized that many of the world’s population currently have access to less than what they consider to be fair. Through a movement-based think-pair-share, they identified some of the causes and consequences of the current lack of social justice and the link between power and access. Using a ‘Problem Tree’, participants enhanced their understanding of a social issue and understood the difference between charity and justice. They appreciated that justice creates long-term change as it focuses on addressing the root causes of issues and reduces the need for charity in the future. Students explored a framework to help strengthen their understanding of how they can be social advocates. Through a team exercise, they selected a social issue of their choice and identified actions they can take to help create positive change and move society towards justice. Thank you to Ms Leihn for organising this event and our business partner High Resolves for facilitating this high value program.
