We all live in Britain.
What are the common values that we think are important in our society?
What are the shared
Values
of people who live in Britain?Slide7Slide8
According to
the government & Ofsted
, 'fundamental British values' are:
Democracy
.
The rule of law.Individual liberty and mutual respect.Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.Slide9
According to the
DfE
, British Values are;
Being able to influence the decision making process through the democratic process
Knowing that living under the rule of law protects the individual
Knowing that some public bodies (like the Courts) are independent of the control of politiciansHaving the freedom and protection to choose and hold the belief / faith you wantAccepting that other people have their own faiths / beliefs / opinions, and that this is tolerated and not be the cause of discriminatory behaviourBeing able to identify and combat discriminationSlide10
Why do we need to know this?
Because OFSTED say we do
Because the government say that schools need to teach students about them
Because we want a fair society
Because of Extremism and Radicalisation
To keep our community safeSlide11
What is ‘Extremism’?
“…Vocal or active opposition to fundamental british values, including democracy, rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs;
And calls for the death of our armed forces, whether in this country or oversees…”Slide12
What is ‘Radicalisation’?
“…
is a process by which an individual or group comes to adopt increasingly
extreme
political, social, or religious
ideals (views) and aspirations (intentions) that reject or undermine the status quo (norm) or reject and/or undermine contemporary (modern) ideas and expressions of freedom of choice (equality).…”Slide13
Not all extremism is about Islam, the majority Muslims are not extremistsSlide14

Michael
Adebolajo
He came from a Christian family in Romford on the border of London and Essex.
He had plenty of white
friends…His
parents would take him to church every Sunday and he was taught by his mother how to pray. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25424290
Now serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 45 years in Frankland Prison.Slide24
The organisations and individuals behind the various extremist groups need to recruit people to carry out acts of extremism because they are against the law.
They want other people to commit crimes for them.Slide25
Democracy
Being able to influence the decision making process through the democratic process
This means being able to vote for a Government in elections that are free and fair.
Anyone can be an MP as long as they;
Are over 18
Are British / Irish / Member of the Commonwealth or Republic of Ireland or Cyprus or Malta
You can find 10 people in the constituency to support you
Pay a deposit of £500
Are
not
a Policeman, Judge, Bishop or LordAre
not currently bankruptHave not
committed a criminal offence where you were in jail for more than a yearSlide26
Because anyone can try to be an MP, lots of people do – even if they have no hope. That’s being British!Slide27
Not all countries have the same values as we do in Britain.
Some countries do not have democracy, their leaders are not chosen by the people who live in that country.
Countries such as Iran are
Theocracy
, where the decisions are made by the head of a religious hierarchy.
Countries such as Oman, Brunei, Qatar, Saudi Arabia are Monarchies, where a single person inherits the power of rule and lawCountries such as Russia, Cuba, China and North Korea are Single Party States where one political party decides the laws and how the country is runCountries can also be
Military States where those who are in charge of the armed forces decide how the country should be runSlide28
The rule of law
Knowing that living under the rule of law protects the
individual
We have laws in place to protect the rights and freedom of all citizens
.
It is illegal to have a pigsty in front of your house that can be seen!
It is illegal to sing a rude song in the street
It is illegal to play ‘knock-door-run’
It is illegal for a landlord to allow anyone to become drunk in their pub
In London, you can not fire a cannon or any weapon larger within 300 yards of a house
And you are no allowed to drive cattle through any London street between 10am and 7pm - but you can afterAnd you are not allowed to use a taxi, the bus or the tube if you have the PlagueAnd the Black cabs are not allowed to carry rabid dogs or corpses
Only the Queen can eat a Mute SwanIt is illegal to be drunk and in charge of a cow in ScotlandNo person may enter the wreck of the Titanic without getting permission (despite it being more than 3 miles under the sea)
Polish potatoes are banned from the UKAnd finally, it is illegal to cause a nuclear explosion Slide29
Not all countries have the same values as we do in Britain.
Some countries have laws which do not allow people the same basic freedoms as we do in Britain.
The countries coloured in red have laws against being homosexual!Slide30
Individual liberty and mutual respect
In Britain, as long as we do not break the law, we can live as we choose to and have our own opinions about things
.
We value people’s rights to express their own opinions and feelings. To ‘live and let live’.
We do have laws such as Libel and Slander though to protect people when things are written or said that are not true.

Not all countries have the same values as we do in Britain.
Some countries do allow people individual liberty.
Eight social media activists in Iran have been sentenced to a total of 127 years in prison, after they criticised the country’s government on Facebook.
An
Iranian court found them guilty of using the pages to spread anti-government propaganda,
attempt to undermine national security, and insult Iran’s leaders. It is unclear whether they were acting together.Following a wave of protests against the re-election of former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009, the Iranian government banned websites including Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter which it believed were instrumental in organising dissent.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iran-sentences-eight-facebook-activists-to-total-of-127-years-in-prison-for-criticising-government-9605284.html Slide32

Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
.
Accepting that other people have their own faiths, beliefs, opinions, and that this is tolerated and must not be the cause of discriminatory behaviour
Everyone
should be
treated the same regardless of sex, race, religion or sexual orientationSlide35
Some countries are not accepting of people with different faiths and beliefs and do not promote equality.
Here are some laws passed by the Taliban in Afghanistan:
A complete ban on ;
Music, Television, Internet, Keeping birds,
Kite flying, Reading Books ( Unless they be of religious content )Women must not:Gain an education, have employment, leave home without permission of father or husband, walk outside without being accompanied by a male family member, wear Western clothes, wear men’s clothes, wear make up, wear perfume, laugh in public, have their photograph taken, paint their nails, wear shoes with ' clicking ' heels, talk to males unless they are relatives, including in their own homes, ride in taxis, ride bicycles, use public baths, appear on the balcony of their own home, even in full burqa, be seen at the windows of their own home, even in full
burqa, attempt suicide. Slide36
British Values
' are:
Democracy
.
The
rule of law.Individual liberty and mutual respect.Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.Slide37
So how do I keep British values?
Most of the values we think of as British are common to most areas around the world. The only difference is we make more of an effort to do it every day.
Use your vote, there are areas in the world where it makes no difference; it does here
Feel safe that there are laws that protect you; there are other areas of the world where the opposite is true
Be happy that 800 years ago, The Magna
Carta was signed that prevented justice being bought, break the law and you will be punished no matter who you are or how rich you areBelieve what you want Accept people can say what they like in a free societyHowever, if it is offensive and threatens any of the values above, make a stand against itSimply put, do your civic duty, treat others like you want to be treated, and stand up for those that are pushed around
