4/ 28-Options to Responding to Genocide (4 Group Posts- list your names!)

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!

I DO NOT WANT ANY OPINIONS IN HERE. FYI- These positions will be very important and available when you are TYPING your double spaced expository four or five paragraph essay on ONE the four options you are in favor of TOMORROW.

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.

4/27-Human Rights-Brandi

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.
