4/27-Human rights-Dakota

1.HR #2- “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.”(http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/).
This is important because it holds the entire declaration together, it ensures that absolutely everyone is under the jurisdiction of the declaration. It also makes sure that all are treated equally by each article and without it the whole document would be almost invalid.

1. HR #3- "Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of
person." (http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/).
This is important because we are all entitled to live an average, normal life. Liberty is imperative because it allows us all to use our own discretion to make decisions and govern our lives based on what we believe as individuals.

4/27- Human Right- Heidi

1. HR #18- “Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.” (http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/).
This is important because the pilgrims came to America for religious freedom. We all need to be able to believe what we want and shouldn’t let anyone tell us what and what not to believe.

4/27 - Human Rights - Alec

1. HR #4 "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms." (http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/).This is important because everyone deserves to be free and have the right of all other Americans. To be forced into slavery takes away their natural rights and life. Our ancestors have fought and died so we can enjoy our freedom and it should not be taken away.

4/27- Human Rights Fernando

1. HR #3- “Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.” (http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/).
I believe that this Human Right is the most important because it explains how everyone has the right to live no matter what their race, religion or beliefs are. Also, it allows us to have liberty which is freedom. Freedom allows us to live our lives without being owned by someone.
