Section 14 Group 4



Minority rights – our final discussion on a political topic. Automatically, we dove into how we can all say we understand how minority rights exist, and how they're beneficial. We discussed how if it is required to have a certain knowledge to pass a citizenship test, that the government should supply the needs for immigrants to be able to be competent and pass. From there, it was said that if a resident of a different country wanted to gain rights to be a citizen in this country, they should be take it upon themselves to be able to acquire that knowledge. A very heavy discussion trailed from then into immigration, that I was too immersed into to really notate.

It skipped a little into social minorities – homosexuals, age, etc. etc.

It dove back into immigration.

We changed the terminology of rights into justices.

This discussion was definitely thorough.
