Kennedy says, “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty”(939). Kennedy promises to protect Americans’ rights and help any friend at any price to ensure the survival of liberty. We all know that Americans are fortunate to have unalienable human rights that not all people around the world have, and that what makes America distinctive. Moreover, Kennedy speaks to his fellow citizens of the world and states, “Ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man”(941). He encourages people around the world not to wait for what can America help them on, but what they can do if they cooperate with others as members of this world to protect an essential element, which is freedom, to improve the criteria of life to all people who were deprived from it.
‘’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’’.
These freedoms and rights ensure that we are all treated the same and gives citizens the freedom to be who we want to be, while feeling safe to do so. More specifically, we are able to be who want to be because we have fundamental freedoms, and we are able to feel safe while doing so because we have equality rights. The Canadian charter of rights and freedoms clearly states: “Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.” Our freedoms include the freedoms of speech, the freedom of religion, the freedom of association, and peaceful meetings.After reading my textbook, I learned that in the year of 2001, four women and 5 labour unions from Ontario decided to launch a charter challenge that argued that they were being discriminated by the province because of their gender. The textbook says “In 1993 an Ontario law required the province to pay women and men equally when they had equivalent levels of experience and training.” These four women were owed in millions from lost wages because the province failed to meet this promise of equal pay. Finally in 2003, the Ontario government agreed to pay female workers $414 million dollars in pay adjustments.
THE RIGHTS OF THE UNBORN, THE WEAK AND THE AGING Introduction The movement towards the identification and proclamation of human rights is one of the most significant attempts to respond effectively to the inescapable demand of human dignity. It is an extraordinary opportunity that our modern times offer, through the affirmation of these rights for more effectively recognising human dignity and universally promoting it. The Universal Declaration of human Rights which was adopted by the United Nations on the tenth of December 1948 is a true milestone on the path of humanity’s progress. This is because human rights address situations where power is being exercised in such a manner as to control human beings by manipulation or coercion so that they are unable to affirm their dignity and humanity fully. Such an exercise of power may derive from an individual, group, nation or government.
