A growing number of citizens in your country have decided to act in favour of a better use of the Internet (no spying, a greater respect of private data, efficient measures against dangerous sites, etc…)  They have decided to start a movement in order to promote their ideas . A debate has been organised in your town on this issue. The idea is to convince the population and the politicians.

 

 

 

HOW TO PROCEED :

 

 

 

  1. Make groups of four or five and decide on your roles. There will be 1 (or 2) representative(s) of the movement for a better use of the internet (MBUI), 1 politician against these ideas, and two citizens who don’t know what to do yet.
  2. Note down the problems that the internet has created, and how the world would have been without those problems.
  3. List the measures proposed by the MBUI and explain how they could improve the situation.
  4. List the arguments against.
  5. Organise your debate. In turns, give your arguments. Be convincing !
  6. Organise a vote to make the final decision.
  7. In the end, you must reach an agreement, then sum up your debate and present your decision to the class.
