A Young Geographer's Insights into the Modern World

Dharavi Slum is Asias largest slum. In the documentary provided Kevin Mcloud explored the slum and discovers a sustainable recyling method involving physical labour.    Everyday the occupants of Dharavi slum wait for the rubbish to come in from the surrounding areas and they each search for a specific material. These materials get sorted and more than 80% of plastic waste is recycled. People live in extremely poor living conditions but still manage to sustainably recycle their rubbish.   Why can't the UK as an MEDC find a similar method to recycle whether that be through physical labour or sorting machines. It is an embarrassment that one of the poorest areas in the world manages to do this much better than us. This needs to change.

Theresa May's Cabinet Reshuffle - Equality https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jan/09/theresa-may-reshuffle-brings-on-more-women-and-ethnic-minorities My views...

The correct decisions should be made to insure our country is run by the best candidates instead of placing people in power based on their looks. Genetics should not be allowed to decide the opportunities you are given but instead hard work and accomplishment should. The whole point of equality is giving

The defence of justifiable assault - Human Rights Issue http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/ban-smacking-children-wales-move-14126791 What are my views? Parents and carers should have the right to discipline their child as they wish but violence goes too far. Using violence to enforce discipline teaches children that physical assault makes things right and should be used. Children should be allowed the same rights as adults and there are other more effective methods of teaching children how to behave. The Welsh Law should be changed, as should UK law.
