Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

 

 L.I: To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion.

A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today in groups for reading, Haylee, Sakina, Victoria and I thought about both sides of the provocation, ‘Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’. We used our smart searching skill and information to help us form an opinion that we could justify with evidence and provide strong evidence for each opinion. On November 19th, masks are going to be required to use on public transport (buses, trains) My opinion is undecided because I think masks should be mandatory for certain reasons, but no for other reasons.

  1. Hi Florence,
    I really like to read your blog post today. The blurb completed by provided all the information required which makes it very informative. I agree with your opinion, because by wearing a mask you are not just protecting yourself but the people around you as well.
    What do you think the government can do help people know the importance of wearing masks? Do, you think it is important for the people to know its importance? I am looking forward to read your other blogs as well.
    Keep up the great work!

    1. Hi Sakshi!
      Thank you for commenting on my blog. I also agree with your opinion on your blog. Masks can do alot to help stop the spread of Covid-19. I think the government could try to do an automatic notification on the NZ tracer app to remind people the importance of face covering, and how it can decrease the spreading of Coronavirus. Yes! I think it is important for people to know the importance, because it will increase the knowledge and lead to people making better choices, and thinking about the situation more seriously.
      Thank you again for the comment!
