Historical Conflict Sem 2

History is an exciting, literacy rich subject that focuses on events and people that have shaped our world. In Historical Conflict you will explore how people's lives have been shaped by the use and misuse of power in the 20th Century, and where the actions of governments and leaders led to fierce protest and the fight for racial justice. You will examine the Civil Rights movement in the USA, which is still ongoing today with the Black Lives Matter movement. You will learn about significant leaders of the 20th Century, and consider the strategies and protests that defined the era. We will also study issues of division and racial inequality in New Zealand's histories. You will develop key skills such as understanding different perspectives as well as research and effective communication skills, which are critical to success in the senior school.
