  1. Far Right Extremism Global Goal 16: Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions Learning objectives: To understand what the far right means and why people have these views To consider how community cohesion could be created

  2. Goals & Articles • Goal 16: Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions • Article 13 (freedom of expression) Every child must be free to say what they think and to seek and receive information of any kind as long as it is within the law. • Article 14 (freedom of thought, belief and religion) Every child has the right to think and believe what they want and also to practise their religion, as long as they are not stopping other people from enjoying their rights.

  3. What is a extreme far-right view? • Right wing beliefs value tradition, they are about equity, survival of the fittest, and they believe in economic freedom. They typically believe that business shouldn’t be regulated, and that we should all look after ourselves. • Right wing people tend believe they shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s education or health service. They believe in freedom to succeed over equality

  4. Why do people form these views?

  5. When do these views become extreme? • In Britain it is illegal to ‘incite ethnic or racial hatred’ – a law passed in 1986 • ‘Hate speech’ is also illegal. Hate speech is any speech that attacks a person on the basis of their gender, race, religion, ethnic origin, disability or sexual orientation.

  6. How can we combat these views? • Imagine you are a Member of Parliament about to give a speech in the Houses of Parliament to convince people to support your party. Think about how you would promote community cohesion and understanding. • Consider: • - Why community cohesion, diversity and understanding is important • More education in schools around culture, religion and acceptance • Teaching people to recognise whether their news source is reliable – advertisement, social media, schools, workplace • Holding community events and meetings • Drop in sessions with you (as an MP)
