Inequality

Rights and responsibilities

  • Children's rights

    Rights exist to make sure everyone has the basic support they need to survive and to be treated fairly. Children up to the age of 18 have additional rights that all adults should protect.

  • Comparing children's rights in China and Malawi

    All children around the world have the same rights. However, in some countries children are prevented from actually getting these rights.

Information and influence

  • What is the media?

    Where we get our information about the world is very important. We find out about events through print, broadcast and online media.

  • Freedom of the press

    The right to a free press is an important part of living in a democracy. Journalists should be able to investigate and report news stories without fear of punishment or government intervention.

  • Balance and bias in the media

    When we are reading or watching the news we should use our critical thinking skills to check that it is balanced and unbiased.

  • Fake news: fact or fiction?
