The audience probably felt confidence in continuing the struggle to assure every human being received the rights granted to them. For example, “We, in the democracies, believe in a kind of international respect and action which is reciprocal.” She also assures the people that, “ Freedom for our people is not only a right, but also a tool…they are tools with which we create a way of life, a way of life in which we can enjoy freedom.” Apparently, Roosevelt wanted her audience to think of all of the freedoms that are allowed to the democracies and the lack there of in those totalitarian states. She was effective in doing this through the use of emotive language to reinforce the firm beliefs and hopes for freedom held by France and the other nations present. In the artifact “The Struggle for Human Rights,” Roosevelt used numerous examples to add support for her main claim and central arguments. Her main claim intended to persuade the audience that universal acceptance of the Declaration of Human Rights will assure all human beings are granted, without compromise, their fundamental human rights and freedoms.

It also means that everyone is treated the same and no one is treated different to anyone else, thus no one feels disrespected or looked down upon by other people.

We as citizens have the right to live life in freedom without undue harm and to pursue our dreams and goals. Jefferson believes the government needs to respect our opinion by not putting it aside and to just listen to the citizens. The citizens have the right to set up a new government so the citizens have a better political life. To achieve the happiness we desire, the need for possession would be required. Jefferson says, “We hold these truths to be self-evidence, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (Jefferson, 80).
Declaration of Independence (Modern day English) Whenever a group of people needs to split from their government and assert their God given independence and equality it’s always important to spell out the reasons why. We think it’s pretty obvious that God created every person equal, and he gave each person specific unchanging rights which should never be trampled upon. These include the right of the people to live life in freedom, and pursue their dreams and goals. The very reason we have man-made governments is to protect these rights, not to interfere with them. Furthermore, whatever power and authority governments have are given by the people’s permission and limited to their protection.
In its preamble the Universal Declaration of Human Rights recognises that the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. The human rights of people with learning disabilities are inseparable from those of their fellow citizens. In March 2008 the Joint Committee on Human Rights (the House of Lords and the House of Commons) issued a report: A Life Like Any Other? Human Rights of Adults with Learning Disabilities. This stated that the HRA “provides a legal framework for service providers to abide by, and for service users to demand that they are treated with respect for their dignity”.
‘’Human rights are frequently held to be universal in the sense that all people have and should enjoy them and to be independent in the sense that they exist and are available as standards of justification and criticism, whether or not they are recognised and implemented by the legal system or officials of a country.’’ (Nickel 1992, as cited in the Internet Encyclopaedia Of Philosophy, 2014) The moral appeal of human rights has been used for a variety of purposes from resisting torture and arbitrary incarceration to demanding the end of hunger and of medical neglect. The US Declaration of Independence in 1776 identified that is was ‘’self evident’’ that every person is endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. (Sen, A, 2004) Thirteen years from this, the French declaration of the rights of man stated that ‘’all men are born and remain free and equal in rights’’. This statement caused quite a stir at the time as Jeremy Bentham (1792), British Philosopher and founder of utilitarianism stated that these claims were ‘’rhetorical nonsense’’ and invalid. Bentham insisted that a natural right is simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights and that suspicions remain very alive today and that human rights in practical affairs can be perceived as ‘’bawling on paper’’.
Censorship: Death of the United States Our country was built on the ideals of freedom, in our Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson himself penned “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” (qtd. in Ushistory.org) This idea of rights and freedoms were what formed the Constitution and our Bill of Rights. Freedoms in the Bill of Rights, just to name a few, are freedom of religion, freedom to petition, the freedom to peacefully assemble. The freedom of speech; this freedom seems simple enough at first, but it is probably the most debated of all the other freedoms. Censorship, in my opinion, is the poison to the freedom of speech, with censorship around, that freedom will die.
