Topic Outline
STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
Violence is a part of human nature and can be present in both times of peace and conflict
GLOBAL CONTEXT
Identities and Relationships (Human nature and human dignity) - Students will explore identity; beliefs and values; personal, physical, mental, social and spiritual health; human relationships including families, friends, communities and cultures; what it means to be human.
KEY CONCEPT
Time, Place and Space - The intrinsically linked concept of time, place and space refers to the absolute or relative position of people, objects and ideas. Time, place and space focuses on how we construct and use our understanding of location (“where” and “when”).
RELATED GLOBAL POLITICS CONCEPT(S)
Violence - Violence is often defined as physical or psychological force afflicted upon another being. In the context of global politics, it could be seen as anything someone does that prevents others from reaching their full potential. This broader definition would encompass unequal distribution of power that excludes entire groups from accessing resources essential for improved living standards or well-being, and discriminatory practices that exclude entire groups of people from accessing certain resources.
