Security and Human Rights - 1 views

  •  
    The Amnesty International suggests that America should treat human rights respectfully in any movements they make in the reputation of countering terrorism or national security. On the downside, America's political authorities are creating an anti-human rights motive when bringing about counter-terrorism, lethal force, surveillance, Guantanamo, and freedom of expression.
  •  
    No secret that a lot of human rights get violated in the name of National Security. But hard to stop this kind of stuff because it all happens so secretly. By the time we find out its been happening for years.

  •  
    This article has some good insight on what to look for. It also explains why a lot of victims do not come forward which is especially sad. If more people knew what to look for I think that it would definitely help these victims.

Animal Rights - 2 views

  •  
    The article talks about a book on how animals should have rights as in equal consideration. Animals have the ability to suffer as well as a human being. Why should or should not animals have rights?
  • ...2 more comments...

    Good points. Are you vegan or vegetarian? Most animals have the ability to feel pain. Adolf Hitler stated that prey species such as deer, elk, gazelle, antelopes, etc. are healthier and can run for longer periods of time and promoted healthy eating (though he was a hippocrate and ate meat himself). When people eat meat they get tired easier, need more water, and have less energy. Without a moral foundation one can justify almost anything. Do you think Christian doctrine is to blame? After all, God told Peter to eat meat. Maybe it was the best choice in order to make peace with the gentiles and not eating meet would have made Peter look aloof. Then again, in Genesis it states that God gave mankind plants to eat and not meat. From a convenient point of view is it practical to only buy products that are not made from animals? Even makeup has animal products in it. What about shoes, clothes, purses, etc? Also, if you have time, I would suggest researching Ralph Smart. Have a good day.
  •  
    I enjoyed reading this article as well. Animals have very similar traits as humans. They eat, feel, and suffer just as humans do. Why should we strict them of their rights? Just because they do not have a voice to defend themselves does not mean we should ignore the equality they deserve.
  •  
    I loved this! Animals have such a huge place in my heart and definitely deserve all the rights as us humans do. I hate hearing stories or seeing videos posted on Facebook of animals being neglected.. I don't understand how some people can do such a thing to an animal who cannot even defend themselves. They just want to be loved and nurtured.
  •  
    The article made some great points. Animals do suffer. They feel pain and fear. Because of this, they definitely should be given rights. Like the article stated, I grew up eating meat, but have made the transition into vegetarianism thanks to my wife who is a vegan. All it took was for me to be educated on where our meat is coming from and the conditions of the animals being slaughtered. If people could read these types of articles and watch documentaries like "Earthlings" and "Cowspiracy" I am sure they might also consider vegetarianism or veganism.

Details on State Prayer in Public School Laws - FindLaw - 2 views

  •  
    Prayer has been a topic of some controversy with the public school systems in America for over 50 years, it has been federally banned other than silent prayers, and in some states it has been banned all together. This is a disgusting violation of Americans first amendment right, as well as our inalienable rights as human of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, for some prayer is a pursuit of happiness. To ban ones ability to pray in school, while they are being taught as if God were not real, is a outrageous violation of the rights of not just Christians, but Islamic folk, and people of Jewish decent. Prayer offers peace, and a hope for salvation, and a denial of such ability in a place where most students attend is an outrageous violation of our rights as humans, and as Americans.

    A constitutional right of all citizens is the freedom of religion, and praying in schools is a way of exercising that right. If praying is banned in public education, then the constitutional right to practice religion is being infringed upon.
  •  
    While religious freedoms are very important in our country we need to look at what the purpose of school is. In my opinion, schools are not morally obligated but factually obligated. This article states that you must look at the religious aspect to understand history which I completely agree. I do not remember my classes removing religious aspects from the curriculum. Is this prevalent nowadays?
  •  
    I am on the fence with this topic. I think that all Americans should have the right to pray in school but on the other hand I feel that it may be disrespectful to the third party. This is a tough topic for all people weather they are religious or not.
  •  
    America is the land of opportunity and freedom. We have the freedom to follow any religion. I think that banning prayer in schools is something that takes away from that right. If it's pray is part of the religion, why is it frowned upon and seen as disrespectful? Our country should respect and go for what it stands for.

'Save Our Children' march in Roseburg spotlights human trafficking - 1 views

  •  
    In Oregon, a march was held to bring attention to human trafficking, specifically with children. The goal of the march is to bring attention to crimes against children and put a a stop to them. The march isn't just aimed at human trafficking against kids, it is also to bring attention to pedophilia and the unbalance within the justice system.
  •  
    In this day and age, human trafficking has become more prevalent and a bigger deal. Many people think "oh it won't happen to me" but everyone needs to be more aware of the danger that some people in society hold. Marches such like the one held in Oregon are really good way to bring attention to the dangers.
  •  
    Decades the past was not bad as right now. Every one has to be more cautions every where you go now. Nothing is safe now. Working together everything could change and have better environment.

Prison - Prisoners' Rights - 0 views

  •  
    A good resource that lists prisoner's basic rights and expectations while serving time. It points out the constitutional rights they maintain and reviews other rights that have been challenged in Court. I do believe that prisoners deserve to keep their basic human rights and these should not be compromised.
