5/9- Human Rights-Tyler

HR#5 “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/
This is important because, everyone should be treated equally. People should not be treated poorly and should not be tortured. I also think this is important because, cruelty is not accepted in the United States.

5/9-Human Rights- Emily

1. HR#1- “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.” (http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/)

This is important because, everyone has the right to be free. Everyone should also be treated equally, and they should also treat each other nicely. I also think this is important because, every human being should have the same rights.

4/27 - Human Rights - Colby

HR #10- “Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.” (http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml#a10)
This is important because without a fair, public hearing, people can and would be falsely accused and convicted of crimes they may, or may not have committed.

Using the Genocide booklet pages 26- 34 (whichever one goes with your assigned option) and in detail, explain what YOUR option is. Define words in the text by using dictionary.com. List the pros and cons (in your own words) of your assigned option. You will need to divide the project up, email each other's work, and put a final product together in the a new thread. If you use any words from the Genocide Booklet, you must use quotes and insert the page number (3), like we do when we write our MLA papers! Do not write in first or second person (no I, me, you, your, we, etc). You may not use any other source but this booklet, blog, and dictionary.com!


If you are absent, you do this on your own by checking out a book etc and getting caught up!
