This week we watched scam city. One of the scams that was looked at was the child begging industry.
The challenge of this video was to start thinking about the impact of people's actions on the country and world. This is globalization, being able to talk about how actions you make have an effect on the wider world.
So what do you think I should have done when confronted with children begging for money on my trip to Bali?
Do you think I should have given a few dollars? If so why?
If you think I shouldn't be giving money, what could I do to make a positive difference to the lives of the kids asking for money.
We are a fabulous class of learners from Tawa Intermediate in Wellington, New Zealand. Our teacher is Stephanie Thompson.

Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI think you should say no because you wouldn't know if they are poor or not, Plus you are wasting your money on them but not on your self.
No I don't think it is a good idea because they are begging off other people and you don't know if they are poor.
Try and give them a gob or talk to the council and ask for ideas for helping them.
