Who would you give up your seat to
I thought that I would give up my seat to the pregnant woman because if the vehicle suddenly moved she could fall over and hurt herself and the baby and also give the baby bad life because of a painfull spot.
At the beginning i thought that i would give up my seat to the man with two children but then i thought really hard and the man will not hurt himself or the kids.
The man who broke his leg could hold on at the same time as holidin one cruch to support himself .
The elderly lady could hold on with one hand or put her cane on the ground and hold on with two hands also the pregnant lady is carrying more weight than normal

Hi good_hedgehog! Thanks for your post about the activity from session one.
I awarded you a star here because you have shown really good reasoning that helps explain how you came to your decision. Well done! Can you think of a question that you might ask these people that would help inform your decision even more?
PS. if you have an idea that is similar to another post that is already on the Hub, it would be great for you to write it as a comment rather than a new post. That way, we will have juicy discussions all in the same place on the same topic!

I personally think everyone should get a seat! Even though some people are more deserving than others they all need a seat. People need to stop paying attention to their phones and start thinking about other people. Even though you really want a seat some people need one it more than you.

That is amazing I can't believe I am the first student ever to get a star

I disagree with giving the seat to the pregnant woman because she could easily hold on, and carrying a baby can be tiring but that doesn't mean she is ill. I would then offer to help the man with two children by holding one of the children so we could both use our other hand to hold on. Although the man with the broken leg will struggle to stand, he can put down one crutch and hold on but the old lady is weaker so she is at risk of falling and seriously injuring herself. For those reasons i would give my seat to the older lady.

I do not think that the pregnant woman should get the seat because if the elderly woman could fall and might even die
Streatham Wells Primary School 12 Sep 2018 in reply to easygoing_cliff's comment
I agree because even though the pregnant woman is carrying a baby your putting someones life at risk by not giving the pregnant lady a seat
Streatham Wells Primary School 13 Sep 2018
I love the amazing writing
Streatham Wells Primary School 13 Sep 2018
I like it also how you wrote about everyone not just the pregnant woman.
For me I think it should be the man with crutches because even with crutches it's not that easy to walk. The pregnant woman should get the next seat I think because with a baby it might be hard with more weight to stand up.

I would give up my seat to a person with mental issues because they might not be able to stand the whole drive standing up and because i care for people in need or some one with mental issues .
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School C 14 Sep 2018
I agree with you should give your seat to the pregment woman
Streatham Wells Primary School 14 Sep 2018
well done i like your post i really like the way you mentioned all the people and there abilatys
Streatham Wells Primary School 14 Sep 2018
I would say the old lady should deserve the seat because she probably isn't very strong and it would be dangerous for her to stand up, her grip not being very tight. Also it would just be respectful since she wouldn't have very long to live and it is kind to show somebody respect in their last years. Though if i was allowed to i would obviously give up seats for all them! All of them deserve it! Though i do agree with all your reasoning Good_Hedgehog.

well done

Where can I find the original seat question? This is my first day on the hub.
Michael Faraday School 14 Sep 2018
If I had to chose the pregnant lady because she can really hurt her self or the baby if she slips or falls accidently .
Michael Faraday School 14 Sep 2018 in reply to charismatic_chameleon's comment
I do agree about the respect thing and that you couldn't chose because I still don't know about my decision

An elderly person or a pregnant person because people that are old have fragile bones and a pregnant lady can hurt the baby if they fall.
Streatham Wells Primary School 19 Sep 2018
I would give me seat up to the pregnant woman as she could have stomach pains at any moment! And if she has to hold her stomach in pain, she could fall over and end up injuring her head or arm.
Weston Favell Academy 19 Sep 2018
I would give my seat up to the old lady because she has the weakest legs and she has gone through most of her life,
and she could have a heart attack at any moment, so if she does have a heart attack she won't fall on her face and die.
Ormiston Bushfield Academy 20 Sep 2018 in reply to industrious_moon's comment
Well the old lady if she fell out of the seat she might hurt herself much more than if she tripped because she would be rolling because of the speed
Ormiston Bushfield Academy 20 Sep 2018
I personally disagree with this statement, because even though the pregnant woman is carrying extra weight, due to the baby inside her, she could still hold onto a barrier as the baby is not making her any weaker as a person. However if the old lady would happen to fall over whilst holding the barrier due to her being weaker, because she is of older age, she is at a greater risk of injury, therefore making her more vulnerable as a person. As well as that, the majority of older people have illnesses (such as parkinsons, which becomes worse at an older age), making them more wobbly on their feet. I am not saying that the old lady does/doesn't have that but if she does then she is at an ever greater risk. That is just my opinion and I am not saying that anyone else is right/wrong.

I would give up my seat to an elderly person because they cant stand up for to long and there legs are very fragile.Also they could be going somewhere far and travelling.I would never let an elderly person stand for to long because there bones are very weak. Every one has there own opinion but every one should let old people sit down.What do you think about this?
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School C 28 Sep 2018
i will give my seat to a person that has a disability because they will fall over and hurt them self.
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School C 28 Sep 2018
I think that we shod help people who need more company because of disabilities especially ones in need.
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School C 28 Sep 2018 in reply to introspective_bilberry's comment
We disagree because that person could easley fall over and damage the child or make them unconscious however, it dosent mater if its a girl or boy young or old i dont care and you shouldnt either you should still give up your seat it dosent matter if you need to stand but its most needed for sombody weaker or has diffrent matters. It will be kind if you at least your doing a good deed for somene who needs it more than you, even if it is an old lady/man illness or not its nice to help thank you. Ps, make sure to this and you will become anice person like me.
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School B 28 Sep 2018
i would give up my seat for people suffering for different reasons such as a pregnant lady of a person with a brochen bone who agrees with me and also i think that good hedgog is a GOOD
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School B 28 Sep 2018 in reply to benevolent_planet's comment
You are sharing your opinion but you are sharing it in a wrong way and a bit rode
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School B 28 Sep 2018 in reply to benevolent_planet's comment
i dissagree but you are sharing your opinion why have you put that?
St Gregory's Catholic Primary School B 28 Sep 2018
sprinted_raspberry, i agree with you, this user is sharing their opinion, but in a little bit of a twisty way.
Crampton Primary School 29 Sep 2018
I disagree because the pregnant lady can just hold onto the bar and sometimes it's usually more comfy for them to stand up . Also she doesn't look sad when there's a man in a very uncomfortable position on crutches with nothing to hold onto .
Elaine Primary School 01 Oct 2018
I would say an elderly lady as if they fall they can severly hurt there bones or a pregnant because they can hurt the baby however for some it is more comfy to stand
Boutcher C of E Primary School 07 Oct 2018
I would give my seat up to the pregnant woman because if she gets hurt the baby would get hurt too and you wouldn't know what would happen to the baby.
But I would give my seat up to the elderly woman because her bones could be fragile and she has no were to sit and she can't be standing up for long.
Bruche Primary School 08 Oct 2018

Bruche Primary School 10 Oct 2018
I would give up my seat to the pregnant lady because she mite start having contractions
Morley Newlands Academy 11 Oct 2018
I would give my seat to a pregnant lady because she might fall into really bad labor and need to sit down.
Streatham Wells Primary School 11 Oct 2018
I would give up my seat to a man with crutches and a pregnant woman and an elderly women. First of all I would give the seat to a man with crutches a seat because if he doesn't hold on to the bar on the bus you will fall down and break another bone because he has to hold onto his crutches . Next I will give up my seat to give to a pregnant women because she has a baby inside her stomach and if she fallsdown on the bus she will hurt the baby. L.ast but not least I would give up my seat to and elderly woman because she can fall down and break a bone
Evelyn Street Primary School 06 Dec 2018 in reply to industrious_moon's comment
But the pregnant woman will have some very from all the pressure that is coming from the baby. Also, her back will hurt. Imagine how you would feel with a tiny human inside of you?
