Assignment 01
Hi, my name is Edna Archundia this is my first semester at City College. My major is Early Childhood and my concentration is Social Welfare. I have two kids, my daughter is 15 years old and my son 11 years old. When my son went to school and I stay home alone is when I start to work. Sometimes, society make us think that women have to stay home and just take care of the house and kids. I was thinking like that, but as my kids grew older, I notice that I have to do more than just stay home. After ten years with out studying I decided to go back to school, I was scared to go back and not be able to continue my education, specially because my first language is spanish. I complete my associate at La Guardia Community College and after four years I graduated. Now Im ready for new challenges and ready to finish my Bachelors. Im exited to learn more about the humans rights and the history of how the human rights were created and what are those change during this years.
Lynn Hunts describe the story by focusing on the American and French Revolution and the Declaration they inspired, she brings distinctly historical and another pout of view to the subject of the human rights. She also mention how men were living in society,by building slavery, subordination and their weekness by those who were on power.
She also mention why 18th century Western Europe was the first society in history to develop the concept of “human rights” that was their idea of political and other rights the results were the indignation at such social institution as judicial torture. It is sad how men can change the world and make a difference depending on their thinking and the power they have. This is how society is build were the people who has power can make cruelty and brutality just with their idea of been superior. We are in the Twenty Century where supposedly every individual are equal, but if we search in society there are still a lot of slavery or women been maltreat or people been inferior because they are poor.
