English - Human Rights Paper
In this quarter at English, I learned about the human rights. I learn about the 30 human rights that are made by the UDHR. With that in mind, our assignment is to make human rights essay. We had to select a Human Rights Issue, either past or present, which shows a relationship between cultural differences and human rights abuse. My topic was about the discrimination against people with disabilities. From this, I learned that people are discriminating other unconsciously, where it is their human nature to discriminate others without them actually knowing that they did. The attitudes that I have learned from this unit is that these act are made against the values of equality toward each individual. The human nature and the empathy towards others are shown to discriminate the disabled. The acts of discrimination are violating the values of equality, because people do not appreciate the disabled people as equal as other normal people. Besides the paper, we also had to present our oral presentation based on our research and topic. I think that I did well in making the essay because I got 6 out of 8. For the oral, I got 5 out of 8 which I am not satisfied with. I think that for the upcoming speeches, I need to improve on my grammar, the structure of things so that I am able to deliver the message clearly.
How this subject related to intercultural awareness is how I am able to research on different kind of abuses that violates the Human Rights. I learned that how Human Rights are universal; they are applied to all people no matter what their age, sex, religion, etc. By this I can evaluate what's the problem in that specific areas, and connect it with the empathy, values of equality, and appreciation of the disabled people. This assignment gave me more attitude to change the perspective of other countries by knowing the abuses they made.
Below is the score for my essay and speech:
