Year 9 conflict homework for the first week

Year 9

Contemporary Conflicts

We discussed conflicts, and produced a conflict continuum. We also identified a possible definition of conflict.

Conflict

"a state of disagreement caused by the perceived or actual opposition of needs, values and interests between people. Geographically, it is often about opposing views about the ways in which a resource may be developed or used. The result is negative tension between the parties involved. A conflict can result in disagreement, harsh words, armed conflict or even war".

Identify a picture which shows some sort of 'conflict', based on one of the scales we looked at in the lesson.

1. Why did you choose the image.
2. What conflict is it connected with, & on what scale is this happening?
3. Identify 5 questions that it poses that you want answers to

The picture of Aylan Kurdi was used to show the power of an image...
