A major concern I would tackle instantly would be human rights.Which is why i choose to give 600,000 dollars to human rights. By human rights I mean child labor, and women's rights, as well as the right of everyone else in the terms of freedom, and happiness. After all the Declaration of Independence says that we have unalienable rights that can not be taken away, these rights are the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. “ little change to relax; the air at times is dense with coal-dust, which penetrates so far into the passage of the lungs that… he leaves, still coughing up black coal dust” (Document B). “A woman’s simplest duty … is to keep her house clean and wholesome and to feed her children properly.” (Document c) Women have to take good care of children and raise them …show more content…
By cutting down all the trees there will be no place for the poor little forest fuzzies ( deer, bunnies, bears, elk, etc). Then since there is no place for them to live and no food to eat they will starve to death. Have they ever thought that some forest animals are our finest meat? Thus is why I and giving 300,000 dollars to deforestation. If people took out the forest and all the trees came down each year, by the next generation there would be no trees left. This is clearly seen in Document A. If you look at the map it clearly shows the amount of trees that have been taken away and cut down from 1650 to 1920. It is sad to see the big amount that has been lost. Many of us may think that the trees are just there and not being much of a resource, but if they thought about it they do have a greater purpose. Document A says,~ “... It took more than three thousand years to make some of the trees in these western woods- trees that are still standing in perfect strength and beauty, waving and singing in the mighty forests of the Sierras “ (Document A). Plus trees give us oxygen, and we humans need oxygen to

    Not only would deforestation lead to the destruction of the natural beauty of America but would also result in a loss of habitat for thousands of animals native to those environments. This could lead to the endangerment of those species and even their eventual extinction. It truly saddens me that these trees are cut down “as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their barks,” at the expense of future generations and the Animals who used to live in these areas (Muir 1). These trees have survived “drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand straining, leveling tempests and floods,” and yet a few greedy humans can just come and destroy forests which it took “more than three thousand year to make” in one foul swoop (Muir 1). Therefore, I propose that you give $300,000 to the Sierra Club to fight deforestation and to preserve our great…

    The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created with only one single purpose, to educate people and to protect people. These articles are made based on the necessities of an individual. I will argue for and against article number three, which declares that “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person”.

The words of this article have a lot of power, It defends every person’s right to life, liberty and security.…

    Attitudes towards sovereignty and individual rights tend to be highly polarized. On one side of the spectrum are those who believe that the most emphasized aspect of international law should be the protection of sovereignty while others hope for individual rights to be promoted and protected. International lawyers Kofi Annan and Martti Koskenniemi, offer their contrasting perspectives. Martti Koskenniemi believes that sovereignty since its inception has played a vital role in developing international relations, he notes that, “The pattern of influence and decision-making that rules the world has an increasingly marginal connection with sovereignty.” He expresses frustration at how globalization has contributed to the demise of state sovereignty…

    The UN Declaration of Human Rights was established in order to lay out the rights for people who had been violated. Preece makes the strongest argument for the declaration because he lays out a path of how minorities slowly worked towards this document. Whereas Moyn and Makower simply regarded the declaration as a triumph for all human beings. Moyn claims that human rights did not start as something that mattered until the 1970s.…

    It is an instinct for people to act when they start to feel some sort of stimulus to their environment. Whether it causes comfort or discomfort, depends on of how the person will act. However, it has become a widespread topic of whether or not there is truly good or true evil. The United Nations proposed the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” based on how their societies view good and evil. Reacting to the UN’s claim the American Anthropological Association provided a counter argument.…

    Just as the human population spreads across the earth like thistles across a once vibrant prairie, so too does our voracious demand for raw materials, such as wood and minerals, and the need for additional farmland. Nearly 150 acres of forest are felled beneath the axe and saw every minute, every day, and every year. Estimates project that, despite the ubiquitous presence of the 3 trillion trees that exist on earth, nearly all tropical forests will be gone by 2060, given humanity continues clearing land at the same rate. With such a deleterious threat imminent the next few decades, many organizations have dedicated their resources to a panacea deemed as perfectly unassailable: replace the tree population faster that it is being cut. Thanks…

    Enormous amount of forest lands are cleared every year for various purposes. It just requires an average brain to think of products used by eight-billion people coming directly or indirectly from forests and the number of trees cut down for that product.

    A forest is a serving tract with countless purposes for many species of animals, plants and also humans; it balances the oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which assists the environment and preserves the variety of nature.
