The virus started in Wuhan China and has spread everywhere in the world. This is significant to understanding rights by making it so that we don't have the freedom to travel or go anywhere without being vaxed (a good thing). We also didn't have the freedom to take off a mask (also a good thing). Luckily we are slowly putting it into containment and it's slowly getting less and less dangerous. This also connects to us because we are going through this right now.]]> 2021-06-02 22:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1580868398 sdemerritt3962 https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1580875958 Every year in June we have pride month. This is important because it gives people the right to express themselves and be who they truly are and love who they actually love. Pride month is a month where members of the lgbtq+ have their own month where they celebrate themselves. They have a parade aswell. There's also a pride history month in October, which goes over the history of the community, the displacement of members into conversion camps and more. This can also affect us because some of us take part in this, even people in our school.]]> 2021-06-02 22:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1580875958 sdemerritt3962 https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1580881522 A war between Israel and Palestine is happening right now and which Palestinian terrorists are fighting Israeli forces by shooting things at them from residential Palestinian areas and Israel killing innocent civilians by firing on those locations. This violates human rights by essentially hurting people and violating that right. Even some Palestinians are becoming refugees so they can flee from this battle.]]> 2021-06-02 22:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1580881522 sdemerritt3962 https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1580885757 Police brutality is still going on. It needs to stop. Police brutality is the   mistreatment of mainly minorities and the attacks are mostly just racism and hate crimes. This violated human rights by the police killing and beating mainly innocent people, but even if they are guilty it isn't an excuse to just straight up murder them. The worst part is most officers don't get punished for these actions and usually only get off with a fine at most.]]> 2021-06-02 22:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1580885757 sdemerritt3962 https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1580889961 On the good side of things, a colony is getting reparations. Namibia is getting money from Germany because of the genocide that happened when Germany colonized the state. This is important for human rights because it shows that the colonies are getting compensation for the actions of the countries that colonized and it also shows the countries that colonized realized their wrong.]]> 2021-06-02 22:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1580889961 sdemerritt3962 https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1594078890 The Nuremberg trials were trials that went from November 20 1945 to October 1 1946. It were trials for Nazi war criminals after the holocaust. Some of them got put to death some of them got long prison time and a select few ended up working for America during the Cold War. This relates to human rights by punishing people who violated human rights of a group AKA genocide from 1941 to 1945. ]]> 2021-06-08 21:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1594078890 sdemerritt3962 https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1594086408 The bombing of Japan was when the USA dropped 2 bombs on Japan to end WW2 and cement the allies' victory. This happened on August 6th 1945 with one being in Hiroshima and one being in Nagasaki. This violated the human rights of the Japanese civilians by murdering innocent people and America performing a war crime by getting innocent people involved and killing them. This could also be deemed as a genocide because they killed a large group of people.]]> 2021-06-08 21:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1594086408 sdemerritt3962 https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1594093377 The colonization of America was Spanish invaders led by Christifer Columbus sailing to America and taking over the land from the natives. This violated the natives by forcing them from their home land and forcibly taking over said land. They would also often displace children, assault women and other crimes even though the natives happily welcomed them they didn't treat them with much respect back. ]]> 2021-06-08 21:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1594093377 sdemerritt3962 https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1594098266 The French Revolution was a citizen led revolt against the government from May 5 1789 to November 9 1799. It was a revolution in which the people were mad about how the government would treat them and how it was ruled. This violated the human right of both the citizens and the government. But they were both violated the same way. By death, the people were killed by the government by attempting to overthrow while the government were killed by the people for the ways they treated them, this is where the guillotine became famous. This is also when Napoleon came to power.]]> 2021-06-08 21:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1594098266 sdemerritt3962 https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1594104914 The Vietnam war was a war fought by South Vietnam and North Vietnam in the height of the cold war from November 1 1955 to April 30 1975 with people still questioning who won to this day. It violated the rights of the Vietnamese people by having the Viet Cong (north) blending in with the citizens and scaring the American/South Viet soldiers being fearful of villages. You see the Viet Cong used guerrilla warfare, something America had never seen before. They would blend in with the environment and the people. This made Americans commit genocides of villages and killing many innocent people. Sometimes the villages wouldn't even have Viet Cong, they would just kill everyone.]]> 2021-06-08 21:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sdemerritt3962/locwc5lr3h1a3plr/wish/1594104914
