Thought we had a superb lesson today Y10, what did you think…? I felt like we made some excellent progress. You really impressed me, you are coming on leaps and bounds, so well done!
We will be looking at multinationals next lesson and what advantages and disadvantages they can bring. There is an excellent geography website that has lots of information about a story involving these multinationls that we will examine next lesson. To keep one step ahead of the game, your homework for this week is to investigate what happened in Bhopal, India. Follow this link, and read two versions of the story to familiarise yourself with the different viewpoints on the disaster, guess which one I symapathise with…?
If you don’t like the idea of reading, there is an excellent video from the BBC you can watch online which is fantastic!

After reading the two stories i felt alot more feeling to story B. I felt that alot more consequences were mentioned in story B and alot alot of deaths took place during and after tonnes of methyl isocyanate, hydrogen cyanide and mono-methyl amine and other gases leaked from the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal. Over 500,00o people were around when it took place and around 8000 died just after it took place it also stated alot of people who did survived suffered with other conditions later on for example lung damage etc. Story A seemed to make it sound as if it was there fault and it caused no after affects as such but story B seems to disagree and after reading the two i definatly symapathise with story B.
