Maria C.

What is my research topic? What are some research keywords I used? 

• My topic is about Human Rights
• My research keywords that helped me are: are words against violence
• Human rights what they are and why they matter
• And Human rights and civil disobedience.

What does Human Rights mean? What is the definition or description of Human Rights?

• If a right is affirmed by human right rather than civil right, it is understood to be universal, something that applies to work.
• A Human Rights is that every one has the right to speak for them self's, and not be judgemental.
• Africans have the right to work to earn money to keep their houses, and to be feed.
• Africans shouldn't be judged of their color or the way they dress, and how they speak.
• Every one is different from he culture's that they have, and of the way they speak.

Why is Human Rights important in Africa?

• United Nations commission on Human Rights adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
• The Declaration contained definitions of the basic civil and political rights that are recognized in the democratic countries.
•  But its listed as well a number of economic, social, and cultural rights. The right to a social education, and the right to participate the cultural life of ones community.
• The declaration is not binding on the nations of the world.
• Africans want Human Rights for them to tell the Americans how they felt the way they were treated.

 Why is Human Rights a problem or issue in Africa?

• One thousand armed rebels attack a refugee village where the families of their enemies have sought shelter.
• Wielding machetes and clubs, they hack at the cowering women and children who beg for their lives.
• More then three hundred people die in the slaughter.
• If Africans voted they would get hung up, its not fair how Americans torture them.

How does Human Rights affect the people who live in Africa?

• The AU was given greatly enhanced powers in comparison with the O.A.U.
• Including the ability to intervene in the internal affairs of countries to stop crimes against Humanity violations of Human Rights, and genocide.
• And for the way they are treated.
• Africans aren't treated greatly because Americans think that they don't have the ability as Americans.

What does the rest of the world (not Africans) think about Human Rights? What is the global reaction to Human Rights?

• Its dangerous for the children to work in dangerous machines.
• Its forbidden by law in United States there are many countries where children still work in dangerous machines.
• It is not fair how people treat each other, the global reaction that they all think and feel that they are not treated nicely the way they want to be respected.
• Its bad how they make children work at a young age and don't even know what to do.
• Many people work for others but they are not getting paid as much they wish they could get.

 What can be done to help the problem of Human Rights? What is being done to correct Human Rights?

• The Bill of Rights is passing through the laws, and the civil rights.
• The Human Rights declaration, to help the African Americans and  others to have the rights.
•  Many laws pass so that different people in different countries have their rights, and freedom.
• Many other African people start speaking for them self trying to make the lawyers to know how African people suffer.
• Martin Luther King, he did everything he can to get the African's right, he went on strike with the Africans.

What is my personal opinion of Human Rights? How do I react and feel about Human Rights?

• My opinion is that Africans have the right to say what think, and feel the way they are treated.
• Africans shouldn't be treated bad because every human should be treated the same way.
• The way I react and feel about Human Rights is every person has the right to speak for them self's.Just like Americans they have the right to speak and the right to vote.
• Africans need the help of others if only other countries stop judging them of their kind.
• Africans don't have that much food to survive. But Americans do, Africans survive with what they have and may not have that many things they really need for care.
