media type="custom" key="4367349" =__**WHITE HAT**__= - Whaling has been around since prehistoric times, it is not a new issue.
 * What are some significant key facts that you learnt about as a result of your research?**

- Whaling is still allowed in some circumstances, such as for scientific research or for survival. Only commercial whaling, which is killing whales only to make or profit or just for the sake of it, is banned.

- Norway and Japan are the largest contributors to killing off the whales.

- Many groups have been formed to stop whaling and other worldwide issues.

=__**BLACK HAT**__= The whale population will dwindle, possibly even be completely wiped out if whaling is not stopped, and soon.
 * What are the problems/ consequence for our world if nothing is done about your chosen issue?**

=**__YELLOW HAT__**= Many organisations, such as the IWC (International Whaling Commision) and Greenpeace have been trying for many years to put a stop to commercial whaling, by creating many laws against whaling and advertising the effects of whaling if it is not stopped. However, it seems like these people are having limited success, as whaling continues in places such as Japan and Norway.
 * What is currently being done to address your issue?**

=__**RED HAT**__= Zihan:** I think it is very cruel to hunt whales or any other animals.
 * What are your group's feelings about this issue?
 * Zach:** I think that it is awful of people to kill creatures that have done nothing to harm them for their own selfish benefits.

=**__GREEN HAT__**= We could make a short movie advertising the issue, that could be shown in the class, school, even in other places in the community. Brochures or posters could also be made that could be put into mailboxes in local areas to make sure people are aware of the issue.
 * What are some things your group could do to address your issue in our community?**

The government could try to enforce the laws on the whaling more, or making the breakage of these laws result in worser consequences, possibly even death sentences.
 * What things should the government do to ensure that this issue is addressed?**

=__**BLUE HAT**__=
 * Write down your plan for your SO WHAT?! stage as a result of you have learnt from your inquiry so far. How will you address your chosen issue?**


 * What type of thinking do you need to use to do this and explain why and how.**
