Hi! My name is Wynonna and this is my blog on human rights and freedom in Asia. You may be wondering why I choose Asia of all places. Well, there are two reasons. One, I'm Asian (specifically Chinese) but also Canadian so by writing this blog on this topic, I will be able to learn more about how politics work in Asia. Two, Asia is a pretty big place and there are lots of countries that are good and bad examples of freedom and human rights. So it's important for me to not only focus on the negative or only the positive but also to explore and see the many sides and perpectives of Asia.
Before I continue on, there are some questions to be answered. For instance, what are human rights? According to Dictionary.com, human rights mean "fundamental rights, especially those believed to belong to an individual and in whose exercise a government may not interfere, as the rights to speak, associate, work, etc." All these fancy words just to explain that every person has the authority to do or have certain things.
Human rights and freedom work together and they're tied with each other. They're each other's synonyms. Plus how can you have human rights without freedom and how can you have freedom without human rights. The basics of having human rights is being free.
In my next few posts, I will share some of my knowledge as well as some knowledge from other sources to cover the different point of views of each situation in each place. Until then, here is a little history on what human rights are and how they came to be...
Until next time...
Hey Wynonna. I really liked the topic of your blog, it's really good that ypu did it on something you can realate too (if that's the right word I'm looking for I don't really think it is but I'll go with it) and something you want to learn about i think that's really cool. I'm very interested in what you have in store for your blog and i can't wait for your next post.
ReplyDeleteHey Jared. Thanks for reading my first post and yes, I find it interesting to learn about something that I can relate to as well (you did use the right word if you were wondering). I can't wait to see what I discover about this topic and share with everyone.
DeleteHey Wynonna! I love the direction you're going with this blog! It will surely give me insight on not only human rights, but those in ASIA! Is there a particular feminism issue? What about abortion, or marriage rights? I really like that human rights picture you have, the one with the bubble pointing everywhere. Which region of Asia will you be most concentrating on? Nevertheless, I am glad that you've posted and I will be following your blog!
ReplyDeleteHey Camelia! Thanks for taking the time to read my first post. I've decided to kind of blog about human rights and more about political problems (so kinda like history class). But if you ever have any ideas or opinions on what I could blog next, I'm all ears :) Anyways I will mostly be focusing on the main areas and places that I'm more familiar but like I said before, I'm open to other ideas too.
ReplyDeleteHey Wynonna, Great choice of topic! I think it is very cool to write about, and awesome to read about.. I believe that learning about world culture and laws and regulations will help us learn more about world relations and problems. I encourage you to keep writing and I can't wait to keep reading!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Anthony, thanks for reading my blog post! I also find this topic quite interesting that way I can also learn along with my readers. I feel that education is the way to solve the problems in the world because then we can understand the problems. Thank you for your encouragement!!
