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” (1776). These three unalienable rights are guaranteed to all citizens of the United States, and must be protected by the government above all else, regardless of age, race, wealth, or sexuality. That is why, with the guaranteed right of personal liberty in mind, transgender citizens of the United States should be…
People are only given certain rights and freedom entitled to their status and identity. But what if they go beyond themselves and their status? What benefits, if any, would they get? Throughout the semester, several texts studied illustrate how disguise, changing people’s appearance or position temporarily, could provide much power and versatility to the individuals. Even though these benefits are used in different manners for different means, these additional benefits are all provided through…
other areas it is as dry as a dessert. Those places are were there is no such thing as rain or snow. Our country is similar to America, but better. The people are very generous and know there limits. Everyone understands people are born with the same rights and that everyone is different. They all give each other the respect they deserve. Our country gives diversity another meaning. We come in a variety of different colors. Here we look pass skin color. We have tons of opportunities, especially…
America, land of the free and home of the brave. We pride ourselves on being unrestricted, we can choose: what we believe (spiritually and politically), what we want to be (career-wise and gender-wise), and where we want to go. But, what does it mean to truly be free? According to the Merriam-Webster the definition of free is, “not determined by anything beyond its own nature or being : choosing or capable of choosing for itself.” In other words, nothing controls people but them people…
“Our division is ineffable if our union is unrequitable” - Henry Walsh. Throughout the course of its existence, the United States has been buffeted with cases of civil liberty- the basic rights and freedoms that make every citizen human. These issues of the American past have yet to be rectified due to the persistence, remembrance, and exclusivity of human nature. Through the utilization of an unrivaled tenacity, those opposed to progress have found loophole after loophole to prevent the…
of distributive justice is anchored on the foundation that human person is created in the image and likeness of God-Imago Dei (Gen 1:26); and based on this human nature, the human person possesses the universal and inalienable rights. These universal and inalienable rights also serve as justification for people and individual communities to demand for what could make their lives more meaningful in terms of provision of basic necessities of life. Hence, it is the constitutional duty of the…
Animal rights are rights which state that animals are free to live from human exploitation and abuse. That means that humans have no right to use animals in any way that could cause them to feel pain or make them die no matter how humane they are treated during what they experiencing, and that they should be free from any unnecessary pain and suffering, and premature death even if it is for the benefit of both humans and animals. Some of these rights include: freedom from hunger and thirst by…
(101). Their rights had been denied by a system with officers that were more concerned about satisfying their own needs, thus leaving the rest of the population to its own luck. The privileged order, according to Sieyes, was a burden for the nation. They did not do any good for the people, nor did they let them be a free nation. Instead, “the people” were an “all” that was “fettered and oppressed” (101). They were a “nothing” with all the qualities of an…
I believe that freedoms should be demanded. Freedom is both a luxury and a right. It is true that all people deserve to have freedoms, but they do not always get them. Throughout history, there have been many points where they were withheld from people because of religion, race or anything that made them a social anomaly. A famous example of this is the period of brutal racism and prejudice in the United States that sparked uproar and protest from the African-American community of that time. For…
In addition, article 28I (1) of the 1945 Constitution also recognizes the right to religion as a human right. Furthermore, article 29 verse (2) of the 1945 Constitution also says that The State guarantees the independence of each of its people to embrace religion. We are embarrassed by the principle of “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" (unity in diversity)…
