Orange Revolution

Student Activity DOC
GAME LINK
When we look around the globe, we see that upheaval is everywhere. Each instance of unrest culminates in a set of outcomes, some of which are productive, some of which are the opposite. Where there is upheaval, the question of the reinforcement of human rights and human rights abuses inevitably rises. This was the case at the outset of what we now know as The Orange Revolution. It is important for Canadian students to understand that these rights are not given lightly nor should they be taken for granted.
