Answer 1

1. Careful attention to human rights such as non-discrimination and human rights principles such as transparency and respect for human dignity can foster an effective response amidst the turmoil and disruption that inevitably results in times of crisis and limit the harms that can come from the imposition of overly broad measures that do not meet human rights.
2. Get to know learners in the classroom. When you know your students and understand their strengths and weaknesses, you’ll be better equipped to promote diversity and work with teachers to address the challenges and opportunities that come with a focus on diversity in the classroom.
3. Fallacies may be classified by the process by which they occur, such as material fallacies (content), verbal fallacies (linguistic), and again formal fallacies (error in inference). In turn, material fallacies may be placed into the more general category of informal fallacies. Learning to identify these fallacies can help them ensure that their own persuasive pieces use the best possible evidence with as few flaws as possible.
