After reading the three blogs of my classmates, the most important points of the article are about the right to vote (everything from here and there about the voting issue) and the basic, simple need for human rights. During the time of LBJ, there was lots of turmoil among our own people—mainly because of the civil rights movement during his term. Kaitlin mentioned that people are always going to have to fight for their civil rights, and like Cat and everyone else, I believe this is true. Even though it looks like our country is equal and all people have civil rights, it is just a face that is put on for the rest of the world. There are many groups in America that feel like the African Americans did back on the 1960’s such as Latinos and Arab/Muslims. They are feeling the pains that others have felt before them and they will fight for their rights.
The other important point is the need for human rights. Everyone on this planet we call home deserves certain rights—not all of these rights are written on paper. They are mainly unspoken laws that everyone tried to live and abide by. Cat posted a great link that brings you to the United Nations where they try to bring awareness to the world’s issues with human rights. Even though there is a committee that is trying to solve these issues, they will never be able to solve them and save those that need it the most.
