You have begun to analyze whether world leaders use their power for good or bad in relation to human rights. Some of you have discovered that leaders do good....work for charity, insist on education for all, while, on the other hand, some leaders infringe on basic human rights in many ways. We have read about discrimination of gender, race, torture, capital punishment, people go ¨missing¨ and even censorship (freedom of expression/speech and freedom of the press.)
While all of these things are horrific, please take a moment to think & reflect on the freedom of the press, freedom of expression and speech.. . We spoke about censorship today... do you think this may be a rights violation?? What dangers or consequences could occur with censorship??
