Human rights are rules and principles that
describe certain standards of human behaviour and are important all around the
world. The right to Education, human trafficking and the right about freedom of
thought, conscience and religion are three human rights that are considered in
this text.
Everyone should have the opportunity and right to education, simple as that.
Education is the basis for your future career and your future in general.
If we take Norway as an example, there is no doubt that people in my school underestimate
the power of education meanwhile the ones that need or want it the most, does not even have
the chance. The message of the picture is that we shouuld be aware of the life of other
children around world. Using children in the picture makes the impression worse,
you feel bad for the poor children. Even if the three boys in the picture have books,
they do not have a desk which shows how much better the rich countries have it in school.
The pitcure has an effective message because of the little girl with a sad facial expression,
but also because of the litte boys who sits with a book in each of their laps and not on a
schooldesk. In my opinion children affect our reaction in a deeper way than if there were
grown ups in the picture. Also that the people in the picture are colored shows us that
they are not from Norway or any other scandinavian country, which sets an emotional
image of what it is like outside our own country.
The importance of the human right about slavery
and slave trades being prohibited is huge. It is both disrespectful and cruel
towards other human beings. Admittedly slavery still happens even though there
is a human right that says it should not, but the right is still important. How
would you feel if you were enslaved in forced labor slavery or sex slavery?
The picture consists of four smaller pictures
and describes how hurtful slavery can be, both physically and mentally. In my
opinion this picture shows any worst-case scenario to express the seriousness
of the issue. Any shape of slavery is wrong and the picture proves that. The
picture also sends a message because of the negativity and depression of the
pictures.
The dark colours in the picture, sends an
effective message about how negative and awful the issue is. The four smaller
pictures in the big picture consist of; one with a child held against its own
will, one where the picture only shows some skin with stings in it which
demonstrates the slavery of organ removal, one where there are two hands tied
together as a symbol of labor slavery and lastly there are a picture of a
woman who stands in the dark with an insecure expression on her face, which
stands for sex slavery.
Lastly there is the
human right; everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and
religion. We all should have the right to speak our mind both in action and
silent. The fact that it is a human right is mostly important because it sets
an image of how serious it actually is.
It seems the picture
shows a protest about whether Edward Snowden did the right thing or not. Some
of the text on the posters in the picture is written in Chinese so I cannot
understand them very well, but I am sure it is relevant for the Edward Snowden
case. The message in the picture would be that you should tell your mind and
stand by it.
The picture sends
such an effective message because of the fact that people in the picture
actually speaks their mind in public about another man, who has gotten in
trouble for sharing some things that he thought was the right thing to share.
In conclusion every human right has
its importance and we should all cherish and follow them although different
human rights are naturally more important in some countries than in others. Does
the human rights make a difference in the world? Of course they make a
difference if everyone obeyed them, but even though we have those rules and
principles, some people often do the opposite of them.
