Session 5

Talked about making ethical changes and we talked about the examples in the book and real life situations that I’ve had in the past. I make decisions by following my moral compass and thinking before I act.  Also, by setting an example for others.

Session 4

It went over what issue I chose from my survey and how we were going to act on it and what solution we proposed.

I focused on petitioning for the right to vote for 16 year old girls in England.  We also talked about the planning charts and how I used them for the project.

Session 3

The Girl’s Bill of Rights-

We declare these rights to be self – evident, that all girls:

a. Are created equal to men

b. Are treated equally to men

c. Are paid equally to men

d. Are safe on streets and at home

e. Are respected equally by men and women worldwide

f. Have equal opportunities for success in business as men

g. Are told they are beautiful everyday

h. Are able to vote in any political election

I discussed about the Girl’s Bill of Rights and how passing a law can sometimes help, like a law to ensure voting rights.

Because I was in London, I focused my survey on the issues focusing on girls ages 16 to 18. I surveyed people of ages 14 to 72. Issues in London mostly revolved around how girls can start a family and run a household at age 16. Many girls complete their education at age 16 and many start families at this time as well. A lot of other girls continue their education and my friends and I have discussed how this affects girls and how they are viewed as not fulfilling their potential. We also talked about, if girls can start a family at age 16, own houses and pay taxes, why can’t they vote? As a result, we decided to take action on girl’s rights to vote at 16.

Session 2

We discussed the different kinds of groups I belong to, Girl scouts, choir and the group I belonged to in London. We also discussed how boys act in a group and the advantages and disadvantages of having a group with boys and girls and girls only. We talked about the different roles people play in different groups and even my role changes in different groups. In this session, we also talked about surveying and interviews and how much information and perspective you can gain from the process. The survey I wrote in my blog and here is the link – We also discussed the dynamics of our girl scout group and how it changed over the years.
