Blacks+Whites=Inequality


Amnesty International USA/ADA Law
Action for Human Rights. Hope for Humanity
Racial Profiling

Thesis: Discrimination against race, religion, ethnicity or nationality, makes human rights and each individual's freedom pointless because they're being broken anyways.
This topic connects to the Declaration of Independence in the way that the colonies wanted separation due to the violations of human rights and as we see in this topic, human rights seem to be broken everywhere. The Declaration of Independence states that "All men are created equal and that they are endowned by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." This should be a guide that we refer to before jumping to conclusions and judging someone because of either their race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or abilities. When the government makes laws, it is our duty as citizens or non-citizens to follow them because then what's the point of a rule that is not going to be followed. Life needs rules, without them this world would be chaotic and there would be no real order to anything. So when it comes to Human Rights, I believe we should think twice before we judge someone about their physical or spritual being. Everyone's different and unique in their own way, so who are we to judge them before we even know their capabilities? On the otherhand, ADA Watch is an example of the other side of this ongoing issue. It is an ammendment act that George Bush has made the first human rights law for people with disabilities. In my opinion, as Americans, it seems as though we're becoming more fair in terms of giving people chances to prove themselves in the workfield.
