If a company did not have a diamond policy and seemed to not take the issue seriously, some of my kids indicated that if they did buy a diamond in the future, they would not buy it from those companies. <BR/><BR/>Another thing some of my kids did was visit Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International's websites. I can't remember if they signed petitions or not. I just remember quite a few kids studying the issue further. I even remember parents telling me it was the topic of evening conversation for quite some time! (I'm glad kids were interested in the topic and eager to learn more. More importantly, I'm glad they were sharing what they learned with their parents and freinds!)<BR/><BR/>Have you shared what you learned about this topic with anyone?Social Studies Toolboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070948157240183639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-18440644962726250362008-07-24T10:52:00.001-05:002008-07-24T10:52:00.001-05:00question four.question four.Copus UShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117062355118659064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-41715044796514108152008-07-24T10:52:00.000-05:002008-07-24T10:52:00.000-05:00It would deffininately change the way people buy d...It would deffininately change the way people buy diamonds and it will also change the way people look at diamonds.Copus UShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117062355118659064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-56711991250551360962008-07-23T21:49:00.000-05:002008-07-23T21:49:00.000-05:00I don't know about the fourth question haven'[t fo...I don't know about the fourth question haven'[t found anything on it could you give me a website that could help me?Copus UShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117062355118659064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-15433132057420086402008-07-23T21:46:00.000-05:002008-07-23T21:46:00.000-05:00On the fifth question i do not know maybe call alo...On the fifth question i do not know maybe call alot of people and have them sign a petition.Copus UShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117062355118659064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-49267951698581470292008-07-23T21:40:00.000-05:002008-07-23T21:40:00.000-05:00Scientists and the USScientists and the USCopus UShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117062355118659064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-88304023168515195332008-07-23T21:28:00.000-05:002008-07-23T21:28:00.000-05:00The Kimberly Process is proabably a process popula...The Kimberly Process is proabably a process popularly known as KPCS, a process designed to certify the origin of rough diamonds from sources which are free of conflict.Copus UShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117062355118659064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-54616566871157693412008-07-23T11:38:00.000-05:002008-07-23T11:38:00.000-05:00So a conflict diamond is a diamond that is found a...So a conflict diamond is a diamond that is found and sold during when a war is going on.Copus UShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117062355118659064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-29891199846205722162008-07-23T11:29:00.000-05:002008-07-23T11:29:00.000-05:00copus - I have addtional information on the topic ...copus - I have addtional information on the topic of conflict diamonds on the blog.
