  1. Are we all equal citizens? Your homework was to think about what forms of active citizenship you could undertake in this course. Write a 1 minute speech to encourage others to support your cause. L/O: How can discriminationand disadvantage be reduced?

  2. Treated equally • We all have a right to be treated equally. • Under UK law • Under international law • Human rights • But are we? • Mind map: What examples are there of people in society not being treated equally?

  3. ‘Lads’ mags’ • BBC interview on lads mags • Should lads’ mags be banned? • Should they be covered up with bags? • Should they be available in supermarkets? • What about freedom..? To pose for them/to buy them/to publish them?

  4. Campaigners are trying to abolish the sale of lads’ mags from supermarkets and other retailers (Picture: PA) • Over a third of people questioned in a new poll want to see lads’ magazines banned from supermarket shelves. • As feminist campaigners prepare to meet with MPs to discuss a potential ban on lads’ mags today, nearly a third of people questioned by ITV’s Daybreak thought they were harmful to society. • Almost half, 45 per cent, believed magazines such as Nuts and Loaded fuelled sexism, while 77 per cent said they would not let their child buy one. • Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman said she does not like the magazines but is not in favour of a complete ban. • ‘I think that women in the 21st century can aspire to more than being sex objects for the titivation of men,’ she told The Agenda with Tom Bradby, set to be broadcast tonight on ITV1.

  5. ‘Would you like your daughter to be on the front page of Zoo or Nuts or Loaded? • ‘It is a very powerful image that a woman’s value increases with the lack of clothing that she’s wearing. Don’t accuse me of trying to ban it, I’m just against it.’ • Women’s rights groups UK Feminista and Object and Green Party MP Caroline Lucas have called for Tesco to stop stocking the lads’ mags . • Bur former glamour model AisleyneHorgan-Wallace said they should remain on the shelves, saying hardcore pornography available online was a much bigger concern.

  6. Is inequality engrained in society? In what way have these campaigners been involved in active citizenship? Does it matter?
