Dark side of chocolate

Everybody enjoys chocolate, the sweet taste in your mouth. All these different flavoured chocolates. But does anyone know where and what's happening behind the scene. Do you know the issues about how chocolate is collected. The problem with these chocolate company's is that they a trafficking children to do the work for them.

In Africa (Mali) there are kids under the ages of 10 - 15 being smuggled or trafficked away from their homes to do the dirty work for these companies. These kids are being illegally forced to work, which could cause a long term effect towards their health when they are grown up. Also to be working in hazardous places causes concern. These children vulnerable with their rights.

The C.E.O of the company does not confess that there are child labours working in there company. He tries to hide the fact that there are children underage working for them. But to be working you'd have to get paid right, Most of these kids get paid nothing. Once the journalist went into where there workers are, he found children underage working. After all that, he went back to the C.E.O and had a conversation with him. Where he then confess that there are child labours. No one has the right to be under slavery.

My opinion towards this problem is that if these kids a working at such a young age, and also been Trafficked. My opinion is that these companies get shut down. They are taking the rights away from these kids. The right to and education, The right to have free choice. The fact that they know that child labour is illegal and still continue with there work just makes he angry.

Will smith's Well-Being

Describe what is happening in the video with links will smiths's well-being.
Dimension:

Spiritual:
This story relates to spiritual well-being because he could have killed uncle phils son. He could of lost his soul and he will no longer be on this earth. It affects all dimensions because he physically won't be here, Mentally won't be communicating, and everyone would talk about him. Which relates back to social. 

Physical:
When will smith explains what happen with the drugs, Uncle phil then explains that his son could of died because of wills actions. Uncle phil then explains that they both could of died. Drugs could affect how you think, and act. Changing everything about you. Worst is getting yourself killed.

Mental:
Will smith's Uncle phil gives will a ticket to go see a basketball game, But then turns down the ticket. Reason being is that will was holding onto a drug that almost killed Uncle phil's son. But then uncle Phil then gets really mad and calls his family in. Then asks will to explain what happen, While will explains he breaks down while telling them what happen. Which affects the mental well-being because his feelings then overcome him. Uncle phil then becomes really angry and takes it out on will. It affects the family.

Social:
Carlton could have been dead, which could of caused a lot of people to worry. Either way holding drugs is a bad thing. Once someone knows that your holding onto drugs you then become a seller to everyone. Where as you have to socialise with others. But During the video Uncle phil calls his family in to the living room where will is. He tell will to explain what happen with the drugs to the family. This relates to social well-being because hes sharing a story to more than one person. He was being offered drugs at school.

Coconut cookies

Today during period 3&4 we where assigned to make Coconut cookies. It's a pretty easy cookie to make. First of you start by gathering the ingredients. S.R flour, Sugar, oil and coconut. First you mix the dry ingredients together & mix the wet ingredients. Then you pour both into one bow and fold it in. You then make little balls with it. Next you squash it down with your palm so that it can look like an cookie. Then you put it in the oven and hope that it looks nice.

Elections! Who do I vote for 2017

Political party
In Social studies I studied Political party policies of Education, Housing and health. The education policy that I best supported was the Maori party because they provide free schooling for everyone in primary and secondary schools. They provide free after school care and holidays programmes for the kids. So if your parents a going work They can drop their children of to after school care. I like the idea of giving children free education so that there parents don’t struggle working for there kids. It lets all kids around the world have the opportunity to learn. For the housing policy I chose Maori party because it’s aiming to end homelessness by 2020. Therefore everyone gets to live in a house. There will be more house for people to move in to. There’s a higher chance that people get to live in a house. The health policy I chose Nz top’s policy because then we get to see our younger generation grow healthy. We get to see them playing around on the parks with other kids. Getting to make New friends. We know when Our kids go out there safe. We don’t have to worry. The area will be safe.

The party I vote for in 2017 is Maori because there policies keep our younger and homeless people safe. Ending the homeless and keeping our kids safe. I am a Maori party Supporter.
