   Human Rights Activity 3:1.     Working in pairs, go to Google Maps (or a similar site) and download an image of the map of the city of Abu Dhabi. It may be a part of Abu Dhabi rather than the whole city. It should include homes, major public buildings (e.g., parks, schools, mosques) and public services (e.g., hospitals, fire department, police station) and any other places that are important to the community (e.g., grocery stores, mall, gas stations). If they are not on the map, you should add them in the correct places. 2.     Analyze your map from a human rights perspective. What human rights do they associate with different places on their maps? For example, a mosque with freedom of thought and religion; the school with the right to education; the post office with the right to information, to privacy, and to self-expression. As they identify these rights, they should look up the relevant article(s) in the UDHR and write the article number(s) next to that place on the map. 3.     Present the map to the whole class. ·         did any parts of your map have a high concentration of rights? How do you explain this?No, because it’s an industrial area.·         did any parts have few or no rights associations? How do you explain this? No, because it’s spread around the map. ·         Are there any articles of the UDHR that seem to be especially exercised in this community? How can this be explained? Yes, article three where it says right to life, liberty, and personal security because there are police stations everywhere. ·        Are there any articles of the UDHR that no group included on their map? How can this be explained? No, everything is fundable.  How could town/city planners might use information like this when they develop areas for their citizens? 

They can use the information by distributing the rights around the community so it will be easy for the citizens to reach anywhere.

Human Needs Activity 3:

Working in groups, discuss and answer the following questions:

1.     Does every human being have the rights to reach the top of the Maslow pyramid?

2.     Does every human being have the capability of reaching that level?

Well no all because some of them lack the skills to reach that level.

3.     What are the opportunities are needed to get to the higher level?

Need to work hard in a steady pace, and they need the support and motivation from their family and friends.

4.     What are the obstacles could stand in the way of reaching these levels?

Physiological problems, money problems, and safety problems.

5.     What could you do to help others to reach the higher levels?

 Advices, encouragement, motivation and donation.
