...During World War Two more than seventy-two million people died including six million Jews were killed by the German armies in possibly the most inhumane act ever experienced by our world – the Holocaust. The world then realised that to prevent another disaster like this countries needed to realise how important humanity, quality of life and our rights are, and thus, the United Nations was born which led to the Universal Declaration of Rights. I aim to now outline the horrors and genocide that the Jews and many others (such as homosexuals and gypsies) faced during the Holocaust, which then made the link to the U.N, I also plan on touching on human rights nowadays and whether the countries that agreed on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights have successfully enforced this. Adolf Hitler was made the leader of Germany in 1933 after the NAZI party was elected and after the First World War the German economy collapsed, and with many grieving and struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads the German people needed something or someone to blame for this, for Hitler this was just what he and the Nazi’s needed, they simply made the Jews a scapegoat for all of their problems and by the time World War Two broke out in 1939 most Jews had already been forced into ghettos where they lived in cramped conditions. As the war began Hitler sent ‘Death squads’ out to shoot Jews, however many of the German soldiers were getting worn down and couldn’t cope with killing all...

...“The Digital Divide continues throughout the world as it has been noted that although 3.1 billion people have Internet access, there are still 4.2 billion people on this planet, or 58 percent of the world, that do not.” (Rampton, 2015). Their is this gap because of things such as taxes, policies, and operational issues in countries, in the end making the internet way too expensive for some people to afford it and making the Internet inaccessible to a lot of people in the world. Many people in underdeveloped countries do not have access to the Internet like most people do. But that do not mean their are people in developed countries with access, as not everyone is privileged and many financial barriers stand in the way. We sometimes even forget the some counties in the world put restrict on what they want their users to see. In places like China the citizens have access to the Internet by it is limited and filtered by the government. All humans have the right to access the Internet, but they also have the right to access an uncensored Internet, so that can they are able to form their own opinion. Over all not everyone has an equal opportunity and access to the online world, their is a divide between the haves and have nots so it is important we advocate for the disadvantaged groups without access to the Internet....

This is truly a celebration - a celebration of the contributions women make in every aspect of life: in the home, on the job, in their communities, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens and leaders. It is also a coming together, much the way women come together every day in every country. We come together in fields and in factories. In village markets and supermarkets. In living rooms and board rooms. Whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concerns. And time and again, our talk turns to our children and our families...

...WORLD RELIGIONS – REL 212 World Religions | WEEK 1INDIGENOUS | The term indigenous is a generalized reference to the thousands of small scale societies who have distinct languages, kinship systems, mythologies, ancestral memories and homelands. These societies comprise more than 200 million people throughout the planet today. | Origin of All Things | Most indigenous peoples have creation stories where they believe the Creator or Great Father in the Sky made the earth, the animals and all humans. | Nature of God/Creator | Many believe that they have lost touch or even forgotten about a Creator that their ancestors knew, but disobeyed. They believe the dark gods of the spirit world are the ones to be afraid of or to placate. Thus they believe that the Creator God, if there is one, is distant, removed and angry with them. | View of Human Nature | Humans are often seen as lost or wandering from a true path that was lost to the ancestors long ago. Humans are seen as capable of good or bad and under the influence of curses, vows, incantations, or evil spirits. In this sense, they may be animistic. Many have a special shaman or witch doctor who is supposed to help them connect to the spirit world. | View of Good & Evil | Good and evil are seen as forces that compete for dominance in a person and in the world. Sometimes there is an ethnocentric idea that ‘our’ group is the good one and all outsiders are ‘bad’. This idea can lead to wars and conflicts. | View of...

...discriminated by someone, than the person many turns bad too, and that person wants to discriminate others. Person gets rejected by people because people think he/she does not fit in certain groups and humans get aggressive and show evil behavior towards everyone. People also are hating because they are not perfect and they have weird facial features and body. The creature in Marry Shelley’s Frankenstein Novel, his creator Victor Frankenstein hated and abandoned the creature just because he the creature didn’t look like a normal human. It was interesting to research about this topic because I will learn how human are discriminated in so many different ways. And how people get abandoned because they are not normal like a normal human and because of other differences. I have already known about this topic, “Kid Bullied to Leave School Because He Wasn’t Black Enough” is how people are hate one another just because they are different from them and doesn’t like like them. Another essay called, “The Culture of Cruelty,” From Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys by Daniel J. Kindlon and Michael Thompson shows that human discriminate because of cultural differences. This relates to civil rights because that every human respect and get respect from others. And it is against the human right law to discriminate people.

...last breath, the plant Earth will continue to turn and with every turn, the human race will continue progress in its pursuit of knowledge. Each day brings the human race one step closer to a brighter, more vibrant future. In the past seventy years, the human race has made tremendous strides in a plethora of fields. Within this plethora of flourishing fields lies the field of human rights. Since 1945, the field of human rights has prospered so rapidly that present day human rights differ immensely from the human right laws of 1945. The definitions and institutions of human rights have evolved so greatly that a whole new world has opened up. Through decades of determination as well as struggle, these definitions and institutions of human rights have made vast advances towards the inclusion of basic human rights to all. Between the United Nations, nongovernmental organizations, and citizens of our world, the fight for equality has brought about a successful change. The concept that every person is entitled to certain, inalienable rights simply by the virtue of their humanity is relatively new. The year of 1945 marks not only the historical end of World War II, but it also indicates the propulsion of human rights into the universal scale. The combined extermination by Nazi Germany of over 11 million Jews, Gypsies, communists, Polish, homosexuals, and mentally and physically disabled stunned the world. In her essay Hunt notes, “ As the war ended, revelations about the scale of...

...A rights means a claim or power to do something or, to have (acquire) and own something, that is considered to be necessary for an individual to live with dignity as a human being and a member of mankind. Such claims or powers are known as, ‘Human Rights’ (Ajithkumar, Usha. , 2011, p. 1). Human Rights is a universal and legal concept. These rights are meant to uphold human dignity and equality. Human Rights are those rights which inherent to all human beings, irrespective of our nationality, ethnic, origin, colour, religion, language or any other status.

...B. DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS 2 1. Better promotion and protection of human rights? 2 2. Homogenization of social and cultural identities? 5 C. CONCLUSION 6 BIBLIOGRAPHY 7 A. INTRODUCTION Over the last decades, the rapid acceleration of a process so called “globalization” has shifted our society to an era where interconnectedness, integration and interactions centered in the development of a new world, where everyone and everything are linked together one way or another. In a few recent decades, with the development in communication and technology that the world has witnessed the rapid increase in international trade, investment, immigration and the culture assimilation at an unprecedented quantity and quality never recorded before in human history. As such, globalization can be interpreted in some main characteristics: disembedding, acceleration, interconnectedness, movement, mixing, and vulnerability and re embedding. Characterized by these features, effects of globalization on different aspects are various but one cannot deny its long-term impacts on the enjoyment of human rights as well as social and cultural identities. On the one hand, people argue that this globalizing trend means homogenization of culture and social identities which diminishes the attainment of human rights, while the others believed that the concept itself not only enhance and liberate the full enjoyment of such basic rights of each individual but also mix and produce diversity of identities...

...Shameka Conway Professor Kuhta English 122 11 October 2015 Natural World Responsibility Natural resources are what we need every day to survive such as air, water and food. Because we rely so heavily on these resources, it is our duty to protect them and ensure they are not depleted. The naturalist’s perception is that we must preserve our resources before they are diminished. The human race will become extinct if our resources are depleted. We obtain our food from plants and animals, our drinking water comes from rivers, and clean air is also needed to breath. If the plants and animals die we no longer have food, and if the rivers dry up we won’t have water. However in today’s world we have forgotten how important those resources are. We can’t survive without them. Although we have a right and responsibility to protect our resources, many may feel we have minimal power or free will to do so. “And if the wilderness is our true home, and if it is threatened with invasion, pillage and destruction-as it currently is- then we have the right to defend that home, as we would our’ private quarters, by whatever means are necessary.”(Abbey 349). We have a divine human right to protect our home but we must not hurt each other in the process. “Eco-defense is risky but sporting; unauthorized but fun; illegal but ethically imperative. “ (Abbey 349). “Spike those trees; you won’t hurt them; they’ll be grateful for the protection; and you may save the forest. Loggers hate nails.” (Abbey...

...hundreds of years and many people have lost their lives and some live on to tell their stories. It’s not every day that we hear about everything going on over in the Southwestern region, but there are all sorts of unfathomable crimes taking place as we speak today. I’ve seen on CNBC nightly news the war crimes taking place in Syria. There have been over 180 Syrians killed and over 200 women and children kept as hostages. This is a war crime led by rebels teamed with the government. If it wasn’t for CNBC news I wouldn’t have known about this story. There are numerous different ways to hear about what’s going on in the world today. You can read magazines, watch TV, and get information from the internet. I personally like to stay up with the world news using the internet. Three foundations that I would like to focus on are “Human Rights Watch, NPR, and Alternet”. My first thoughts of these sites, I drew a blank, and didn’t really know what to expect from them. The one similarity that I recognized is how they are funded foundations through charities and donations. The” Human Rights Watch” and “NPR” are both funded with grants as well. To me that sounds like they are making a difference for people to give into it as much as they do. Another thing about these foundations is that they cover the same regions for news. The “Human Rights Watch” is rated high on the charity navigator. Its main charity is the BBB Accredited Charity. The “NPR” has...

...different topics such as; to be prepared spiritually or religiously or to spend all the money that a person has or enjoy the life more. Related to how the Earth is going to end, the concepts of exemptionalist, environmentalist, universe and judgment day should be known. Initially, exemptionalists are the people who see the humankind that can handle every problem, so they claim that the problems which occur do not require worrying about. On the other hand, environmentalists are the people who see humankind as a part of a nature so they point out that humankind is related to environment directly, hence humankind is affected all the problems about environment. Universe is the place where everything stays and occurs in. Universe was created from nothing with Big Bang. This place applies physical laws. Judgment day is the time many religions accept that God will end the life which we live. Mainly theories about end of the world can be separated into three groups which are the end because of human based problems, physical destruction of universe and the order of God. Although the human based damages on the Earth are getting more and more serious and physical collapse of universe makes sense scientifically, the decision of end of the world only depends on the owner of everything, the God, not the humankind. To begin with, humankind must be seen as a one living organism and living things do not harm, on the contrary save themselves when the conditions become serious. There are many problems...

...enemies. Rather it is founded on a correct understanding of the human person and requires the establishment of an order based on justice and charity Peace is the fruit of justice, (cf. Is 32:17) understood in the broad sense as the respect for the quilibrium of every dimension of the human person. Peace is threatened when man is not given all that is due him as a human person, when his dignity is not respected and when civil life is not directed to the common good. The defence and promotion of human rights is essential for the building up of a peaceful society and the integral development of individuals, peoples and nations. Peace is also the fruit of love. “True and lasting peace is more a matter of love than of justice, because the function of justice is merely to do away with obstacles to peace: the injury done or the damage caused. Peace itself, however, is an act and results only from love. Outline of 494: 1. Peace is a value and a universal duty founded on a rational and moral order of society a.
