ACTIVITY 1: Careers and Career choices

Young and uninformed': Why South Africa's youth desperately needs career
guidance
A local journal article found that the lack of career advice provided in South Africa is
putting a great limitation on the youth, stating that students in less-resourced
communities are rarely provided with trained guidance counsellors and do not have
the means to seek counselling.
Consequentially, students have low levels of career aspirations and average levels of
the self-confidence, because they are unaware of their strengths and talents, or are
ignorant of the career paths they may excel in.
Not only does a lack of career advice result in higher levels of school dropouts,
failure rates, and a lack of interest, but it often leaves the youth choosing career
paths that they believe will make them more money or will need the least amount of
effort to pursue.
Subject choice and career guidance counsellor, Shirley Brooks, told Parent24:
"Sometimes, young people embark on further studies to fulfil their parents' dreams or
because they are familiar with the particular direction and do not know what other
options are available."
"I have seen that students become disheartened when they find themselves failing
their courses because they have bitten off more than they can chew or the chosen
course does not interest them at all. This often leads to students discontinuing their
tertiary education and harbouring feelings of inadequacy or failure."

ACTIVITY 2: Human Rights (Discrimination and violation of Human Rights)

 Human Rights Commission urges ‘responsible’ social media
use.
Ahead of this year's Human Rights Day, the South African Human Rights
Commission (SAHRC) has introduced its social media charter. This, to
influence positive change on social media platforms, as some have
increasingly become breeding grounds for harmful content. South Africa
has been found to be among the countries with the highest prevalence of
cyber bullying, based on a 2018 report by research company Ipsos, Global
Advisor. According to the SAHRC, reported violations of people’s rights on
various social media platforms have been surfacing, undermining its efforts
to promote a culture that is respecting of human rights.

The commission also points to receiving an influx of complaints surrounding

hate speech on social media. Resultantly, it has developed the social media
charter to counteract what it describes as “unsociable and unconstitutional”
conduct on social media. The charter is aimed at serving as a resource tool
for parents, children, students, academics, and teachers. It can be a tool for
universities, employers and corporates to assist in developing their own
social media policies. “Social media platforms are unquestionably a
powerful tool and therefore while freedoms such as expression are
important, they should be exercised with respect for the rights of other
persons,” it states.

“The charter further focuses on children and the need to protect this
vulnerable group, suggesting ways in which children can be protected, and
how children themselves can exercise their rights responsibly, while mindful
of others’ rights.” Speaking during the launch event, Professor Pamela
Maseko, executive dean in the faculty of humanities at Nelson Mandela
University, described the charter as a “significant” step towards creating a
more ethical and responsible online community.
