TB1L10 Haves & Have Nots

BA2 explain the causes of unequal access to mobile phone services its impact on lifestyles and life chances

STARTER:

Consider life without a mobile phone. Are individuals who for some reason don’t/can’t use a mobile phone disadvantaged? What do they miss out on? Is this necessarily a bad thing?

TASK: Barriers to Access

In software of your choice (possibly a PowerPoint slide or Publisher (poster)) create a list/MindMap of the causes of unequal access to mobile phone services.

On separate slides, provide examples of each category you have thought of.

You may work in pairs (print 2 copies)

TASK 2: Haves & Have Nots

Consider how not being able to use a mobile phone for whatever reason impacts on an individual’s quality of life and life chances, e.g. their access to goods and services, entertainment, opportunities for interacting, keeping in touch and socialising.

What are their knock-on effects for education and training, health and well-being, employment opportunities?

 In your PowerPoint/Poster, summarise your thoughts then suggest three ways of helping a particular groups of ‘have nots’.
