6 What does my country need? NEEDSthings we cannot live without WANTS - things that we can live without but like to have. Imagine you are the Prime Minister of a new country. You and the other leaders in the new country want to provide all young people in the country with the basic things that they need and want. The list below includes the needs and wants the leaders have drawn up. As a group you must decide on four extra items that might be missing. Add these to the table. NAME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Item 1st Round 2nd Round Nutritious food _____________________ Clean water _____________________ Television _____________________ Medical care _____________________ Bicycle _____________________ Opportunity to express an opinion _____________________ Toys for children _____________________ Refrigerator _____________________ Own bedroom _____________________ Lollies _____________________ Education _____________________ Money to spend _____________________ Holidays _____________________ Decent shelter _____________________ Household amenities (Toilet/Bath/Stove) _____________________ A personal computer _____________________ Modern clothes ____________________ Clean air ____________________ Protection from abuse ____________________ Playgrounds _____________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ For economic reasons, the country can provide only 16 of the items on the list rather than 24. Decide which 8 items you are willing to give up and place a cross (X) in the 1st Round column. As leaders you soon decide that more cuts must be made in what can be provided for young people. As a group you must eliminate another 8 items. Place a cross (X) in the 2nd Round column next to the 8 items you choose to delete. You should now have 8 items left. Highlight the final 8 items remaining on the list. Share your final list of 8 with another group. •Are there any differences? •Why did they select what they did? •Would you change anything?
