As a teacher, I am constantly asking my students to make connections so they can relate to what they are reading or learning about in class. This is a skill.

Aranui has about 11,000 inhabitants, some 17% Maori and 83% non-Maori, and although the scenario makes no mention of conflict as a consequence of different racial values, it is a potential concern that development propositions could upset social cohesion and racial harmony if non-Maori feel discriminated against, perhaps due to local employment opportunities favouring Maori that become available due to Maori business initiatives.
