will somebody correct and grade my junior cert essay?
On December 10th, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Declarations of Human Rights. Eleanor Roosevelt said ''Unless these rights have meaning there(the world of the individual person), they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerned citizen's action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.'' It is clear that Roosevelt was a firm believer in the effect individual's everyday action's have on the wider community. She believed that in order to achieve an equal world, individuals must first adjust their everyday lives and consider how their first word routines effects the larger global community. The central basis of this idea is that to achieve peace and equality in the wider world, one must first achieve peace in the neighborhood he lives in; the school or collage he attends and the factory, farm or office where he works.''Such places are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice,equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination.''These rights were introduced to promise each and every citizen of the world equal rights and opportunities. But how far are we, the first world, willing to go in order for equality and human dignity throughout the world to become a reality? Apparently, this is not something we are prepared to do, but why? In Twenty First Century society, high tech advancements and technology have become the focus of most of the population and many people have forgotten the importance of lending a hand to someone who needs it. Even the fact that society needs a set of rules, a declaration on how humans should be treated and people should treat each other is the first indicator that civilization is not prepared to allow inequality to be a thing of the past and certainly not if it will disadvantage our lives in any way, even if only slightly. After natural disasters is places such as Haiti, New Zealand, Japan, and so on, the governments of most nations make a public appeal to help those worst effected, they send their regards to the people devastated by such disasters . But are these appeals just for show or are they genuine, do governments, the voice of their citizens, actually care about the well being of the population of other, such unfortunate countries, or is just part of the routine? Americans believe that their government spends 24 percent of the federal budget on aid to poor countries, but the actual figure is less than one percent. And if the governments are issuing funding, how much is actually going to the direct necessities of the poor families needs such as clean water, food and shelter? In contrast how much of this money is going straight back, to the first world countries who ''donated'' it, to pay off interest of the national debts, to buy back food and raw materials which were possibly produced in that very country? How many people in this world are suffering and starving as a result of selfishness and foolishness of the western world? How many people, in this world are dying, each day from easily treatable and curable diseases? The numbers are staggering but are absolutely real. Behind each number, is a human being: a mother,a father,a sister or a brother. In the face of such enormous external influence, the governments of poor nations and their people are often powerless. As a result, in the global context, a few get wealthy while the majority struggle. This is a reality throughout the entire world as inequalities exist in every society, in every country, in every city, in every town. Human rights being ignored isn't just a problem effecting poverty. Discrimination in places such as Saudi Arabia makes it impossible for woman to achieve any standard of life. Women are perceived and treated as second-class citizens. Woman's actions and choices frequently depend on the permission or wishes of their husband or closest male relative. Even in Ireland huge divisions and much discrimination exists all around us. Most of us don't even notice it as it has become part of our culture and is a common acurance of everyday life. The divisions and social gaps in many societies throughout the world are frighteningly large but will this division ever be reduced? This seems an unlikely occurrence, in fact the opposite is most likely to occur in many circumstances around the world. We have the means and the intelligence as a race to end discrimination and inequality in the world but we lack the determination and the ability to overcome the ignorance of the wealthy western world. This could be a result of improved technologies and further modernizations, which makes it far easier to ignore and forget these issues. Roosevelt's had a theory that for basic human rights to become a practiced way of life that individuals must first introduce these rights to the
