Hypothesise

= **Knowledge:** = - Which types of whales are closest to extinction?


 * Zihan: I don't know, probably the whale thats worth the most.**


 * Zach: I'm not sure, whatever whale's meat and blubber are worth the most would assumably be the most hunted, thus closest to extinction.**

= **Comprehension**: = - Why do people hunt whales?


 * Zihan: I think people hunt for whales for fun, their meat and their bones, their bones are made to antiques.**


 * Zach:** **I think people hunt whales for their meat and blubber, which are worth a lot of money**

= **Application:** = - What questions would you ask whalers if you had the opportunity? How do they feel about what they're doing?


 * Zihan: If i could talk to whales, I would ask them why do they beach themselfs because there are more than whales that beach themselves each year.**


 * Zach: I would ask the whalers if they feel and remorse for the whales they kill, and if they want to stop whaling.**

= **Analysis:** = - Was there more or less whaling in earlier years?


 * Zihan: I think there has been more whaling now than the eailer days because of the technology improving, it is more eaiser to hunt for whales, and its is turing into a sport for some people.

Zach:** **I think there was less whaling in earlier years, as they didn't have the technology required to hunt the whales**, **and the demand for whale blubber and meat wasn't as high.**

= **Synthesis:** = - Can you see a solution to whaling?


 * Zihan: If the world leaders put whaling into death sentence for anyone in the world, I think it might help.**


 * Zach: Working harder to enforce the laws on commercial whaling, or stopping the production of the tools used for whaling.**

= **Evaluation:** = - How effective are the laws against whaling?


 * Zihan: I think it is effective in some countries and not the others, for example Japan or Norway

Zach:** **Not very, as whaling is still a major problem worldwide.**

= **Other:** = - What are your views on whaling?


 * Zihan: I think it is very cruel to hunt whales or any other animals.**


 * Zach:** **I think that it is awful of people to kill creatures that have done nothing to harm them for their own selfish benefits.**

- How is the human race effected by whaling?


 * Zihan: The humans are killing the whales and they are becoming extinct.**


 * Zach: More organisations such as Greenpeace are going out of their way, spending a lot of money that could be used for more important things, to try and stop whaling.**

- Should more laws be made against whaling?


 * Zihan: Yes, I think there __should__ be more laws against whaling becaue people are not caring for the whales extinction.**


 * Zach: Yes, as the current laws are currently quite slack, as whaling continues.**
