From Amnesty International, I learned more about how to help people by sending funds or joining Amnesty International to provide the service for unfair Human Rights’ victim. I learn about some problems around the world. It also give specific info about the problem in a specific topic or country. The website is somewhat inconvenient for me, because I have to download before I read the articles. I don’t really like this website because of it only provides words and less picture. I could use this website to check and do some research about the human rights problem in my country.
ReplyDeleteFrom Human Rights Watch, I read articles about problem in religious freedom. The website itself is okay, looks really simple and neat. They provide brief and advance English. I can use this website mostly about problem in the U.S. I don’t see lots of important information regarding my country. I would really prefer this website to search information from bigger and developed countries.
ADL website, not like the first two, is more about how to educate, join, or help people for human rights. This website is “more likely” for people in the U.S. and I think that this website is convenient for the people that live inside the U.S.. For people outside the U.S. they can help donating or join ADL’s program that will eventually reach their country after. This website has international affairs, but it only take a big problems around the world. Not too much information about outside country is given here. I would prefer to use this website to check information about problem that’s happening around the U.S. especially if its in local or state level. It also provide us with lots of information of how can we help to “combat” hate all around the world. We should start by doing something small like this and goes for a larger influence after.
*Amnesty International
ReplyDeleteWhen I was looking to this page and I noticed that it has information from countries all over the world, this is a very good page for people who migrated from their native countries to another place and want to be informed. Also I saw that you can help them by becoming a member or simply supporting them and this page has a lot of new about my country but most of them i had never heard. They are trying to defend the rights of people from different countries and want to end the violations of human rights. I can use this website to get lots of details from specific news in a specific country.
*Human Rights Watch
I really like this page and I think is one of my favorites because here we can find news from all over the world but all of them are summarized and that’s what I like, it gives us the main information, what is the most important but if you want to get more information it also has it too. This page offer us the summarized stories and the complete stories too, also we can find information from our native countries and the purpose of this organization is to defend human rights specially in the areas where there had been violations of these rights. It doesn’t have so many news about my country but it has the most important ones. I could use this website to get a main idea or a summarized news about events that are happening in my country or that are happening in other places around the world.
*The Anti Defamation League
When I was reading this page I noticed that there are no news about other countries. This page talks just about the discrimination and injustice that is happening in the United States. Also alike the Human Rights Watch it gives us a summary about it’s news and also the full news. There is another thing that I noticed in this page, and its that there is happening something here with the Jewish people, it seems that in the U.S there had been a lot of discrimination with them and this organization is fighting for a secure justice and fair treatment for all the citizens. I can use this page for make researches about some events related with the human rights in some parts of the United States or even in my own city (NY).
Amnesty International:- I learned that this web &/or organization fights for every single country around the world no matter what is your country because you know the Amnesty will fight for it.
ReplyDeleteHuman Rights Watch:- this web is talking about everything is going on in the world, it’s awesome because whenever we need to know something and what’s going on we can go there and see what do they have.
The Anti Defamation League:- In this is different than the other two that I’ve searched in. this website is teaching us more how to fight against Hatting crime and how we can get our rights. in other words, it educate people more.
Amnesty:
ReplyDeleteI learn a lot for the amnesty international website because they have a lot of information about human rights and how we can defend our rights. Also we can find information about our native country and different countries around of the world so we can be aware of what is happening. One thing I like from this web is that they work to stop the abuse of human rights. In this web we can in three different language and we can join too so is amazing. This web is awesome because we can be informed of everything about human rights around of the world.
Human right watch:
From this web I get surprise because their are a huge group searching in different countries about violation of human rights. we can watch videos and so we understand more for that reasons I like the most. they give us the information with all the details so is easy to read. we can read articles about countries who has problem and how they abuse human rights. also has translation in different language so we can read in our native language. this web is useful to read the news from different countries but countries who had problems with human rights.
The anti defamation league:
This web is really different than the other web before because everything is about USA. This web is good because is just about the country we live and it important so we know what is happening. This web is about hate crimes and discrimination so is good to visit this web to know more about it. Also has lot of information about what is going on in new york and each state. this web is really helpful because has interesting topics about human rights.
Amnesty International，I learn many information about human right from this website。There are many articles tell me that different countries have different unfair human right。And Amnesty international could help who doesn’t have equal human right with others and release them from danger。
ReplyDeleteHuman right watch，is my favorite website because this website could translate in Chinese。There are many information about my country，I could through this website get many information about Chinese human rights that I never know it。
The Anti Defamation League，this website is extremely different with other two。There are many information about hate crime and teach us how to fright with our human right。If there are many unfair human right around of us，we can’t obey it and we must fight for our human right。
1，l learned that about china,and i knew about that person that they were talking about. But i don't know he is till in jail. is this any way we can see that political is dark sometimes. So , people should fight for what they want . That site is a very good for us to learn more about the human rights movements all over the word. there are lots of country on the list. in order to learn more about human rights, we should visit more website like this .
ReplyDelete2there are so many article in that page, i can't even chose which to read!by read those article , i learned the major information about human right in different country. and there are some story we can learn from. that is really good website.
3,well ,this is a different page. it is about the hate crime and discrimination. and it is most about U.S. i thought this would be like other two. anyway, i really like this page too.
Amnesty International :
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed visiting and looking around this website .It is very interesting the fact that you could check out many different articles about many different countries human rights . I was even more amazed that they had a lot of articles talking about human rights in my country since usually when I go to a website and they say you can look and find out what is going in your country they don’t have anything about Madagascar and if they do all they talk about is something that happened a long time ago or only the good things that are going on . And that brings to why I love this website .They tell you what is really going on, good or bad . The newspaper paper company that are in my country put the news online and they can’t really write bad stuff about the “ government ” since if they do , they will be sent to jail or there company will be closed down .So there is no freedom of the press which is why I am so thankful to this website for putting up all these articles so everyone could see and know the truth . And plus we can read the articles in French meaning if I send this link to my friend or family back in my country they will be able to know what going on and also to see that there are organization supporting . That is why this is one of my favorite .
Human Right Watch :
It wonderful that everyone around the world could check out this website because we can read the news /articles in many different languages . I liked it because they were a lot of pictures , videos , podcast that we could look and listen to . One thing I learned from visiting this website is about the killing that happen in Libya in June 1996.The name of the article just caught my attention so I started reading it . After reading the article , everything that happened back then was told by one of the prisoners that survives . He described how the prisoners were killed and it was just very terrifying to me . It was just so cruel . In the future , I will probably use this website to watch some videos and to listen to some podcast about human rights since it has a lot of it .
The Anti Defamation League :
There are a lot of things in this one but they are mainly focusing on what is going here in the United States . I learned that the ADL are protecting and fighting against a lot of things . For example they protect religious freedom , education and more . They also are combating hate racism , discrimination . What I really like about this website is that they were very clear with what they are fighting against and what they are protecting . They explained it very well so it pretty clear .
-Amnesty International: While i was looking at this page, i search the news happened in my own country. And i knew that they have offices in more than 80 countries around the world, the goal of having these offices is to stop the abuse of the human rights.
ReplyDelete2.Human Rights Watch:Through this website, i learned many information about the abuse of the human rights happened in China. And i read the article “My Children Have Been Poisoned”,
From that article, i know the Chinese government are not taking care of the children. They do not even want to give the medicine to the sick children. And just let them stay in high risk.
3.ADL-This website is different from the other two. This website is mainly talk about the discrimination and hate crime happened in The United States.
Amnesty International-I learned many things in this website. It talks about the organization fights for every country for the rights. Then I know about the unfair things in the world and think about what I can do to solve it for the better future.
ReplyDeleteFrom Human Rights Watch- I read this article, and I also know it’s about the freedom of religious. It’s important for people to have rights for religious. And it also told something about Chinese human rights that I never know before. It would help me in the future. So that can show us what problem the world still have.
The Anti Defamation League- The website is showing us the hate crimes and fighting for the human rights. The thing that I learn is we cannot stay in quiet; we should stand up and fight for our rights
Amnesty:
ReplyDeletei like visit this web because I learn man things. Amnesty is international and was create many years ago to help people whit their rights. This is 150 countries to help find human right.It`s with many activities like in Ecuador help develop more the human rights.
Human right watch:
In this web i saw others web sides that teach you about human rights of many countries. In i “A Blow to Free Speech” from my country I learn how the president Rafael Correa don`t respect free speech and he was critiqued by the people, immorally as he don`t saw the rights of everyone.
The Anti-Defamation League:
The ADL was create many on 1913 to stop discrimination, hate and other thing relation with this word that don`t like many people and protect rights of people like free speech, religion, expression, press and and permit be who you are that is more important to all.
There were a lot of new and interesting web sites that we visited. I have to say that from each different website I learned something totally new and that will be useful for the rest of my life. In the website of “Amnesty International” I learned that you can visit the website and you are able to see the different rights around the world and some problems that certain countries are having this rights.The next website is “Human Right Watch” and it’s very similar to the one adobe. You can learn what types of human rights are being said around the country in your own country or in any other.In the website of “Anti Defamation League (ADL)” we can see that people are fighting for their rights and to stop the hate crimes. An example in the website is the muslam population being every day less wanted in the united states.This helps us to see the hate that is going around not only the U.S but around the world. The website about “Teaching Tolerance” is a very good and useful site cause it can teach ourselves how to be tolerant and how to respect others no matter their race, ethnicity, etc. “The Youth For Human Rights” is a great website it shows you all the rights you have, it also shows you how the rights began and it explains you that you must be aware of your rights all the time. This is very helpful and will show the people some examples of every single right. Finally the website “Not in our town” is very important, our school (newcomers high school) is in that website and it shows how much and how important human rights is for us. These rights affect all of us specially because we come from parts from all around the world and we know that sometimes these rights that seem so simple can be abolished by the superior law.
ReplyDeleteAll of these website can be very useful and we can use them in a lot of ways. We can learn from the to see what our rights are, we can teach friends about the websites so that they are aware of it too. We can use it in our daily life, and not let nobody break our own human rights.
My favorite website was the “Youth for human rights”. It had a lot of things we could see and learn from. The videos that they show from our 30 rights are just amazing I think all the people should be aware of this website so they can know what their rights are and don’t let nobody break them. It is also great because it tells you from the very beginning how human rights were created. This is something we are going to be caring for the rest of our lives, and this website shows it very clearly.
From Amnesty International, I learned how to help people by sending funds or joining Amnesty International to provide the service for unfair Human Rights victim. I learn about some problems around the world. It also give specific info about the human rights issues in specific country. I think that this website is a very good source of information because we can find out what is happening around the word.
ReplyDeleteHuman Rights Watch this page is about a summarized stories and the complete stories, also we can find information from our native countries and the purpose of this organization is to defend human rights specially in the areas where there had been violations of these rights. I can use this website mostly about problem in the U.S.
ADL website is more about how to educate, join, or help people for human rights. This website is mostly for people who live in U.S. For people outside the U.S. they can help donating or join ADL’s program that will eventually reach their country after. Not so many information about outside countries is in that website. This website also says how we can help to fight against hate crimes.
from Amnesty international,i learned alot about my own country and the world the website is really great and i think people should visit it more often.
ReplyDeleteHuman Rights Watch this website summary stories that had happened. we can also find info about our countries but its mostely about the USA and the freedom of religion.
ADL is about how to educat ,join or help people for human rights its mostly for people who live in the USA and it also help people who are outside the USA as well. this website helps us fight agianst hate crimes.
I like the first web site, because in that one we could find the status of the human rights in our countries. what I liked more is that I read that in my country is happening the same as in Alabama, as they are taking out the immigrants, that are not Americans; we are taking out the Haitians, unless they have Dominican residence. I disagree with this, and I liked that the Dominicans are becoming aware , and they are stopping these, they are saying that it is unfair for the Haitians, the ones that are sick or the ones that don’t have a place to live because of the recent earthquake that pass in their country. I can use this website for myself, because I can be informed oh the stuffs related to human rights in my country.
ReplyDeleteI also like the web site number two, because it made me know about the status of woman with HIV in my country, and how the big companies discriminate them , after the interviews, they ask them for an HIV test and when they have positive HIV, they tell them that the jobs are not given to those kind of people that are infected. The article that I read suggest to the government to give help to the women and to protect them human rights. This web site can also inform me of the news about human rights, while I am far away from my country.
I love to see that there are organizations taking care of the hate crimes laws, that we are really needing all over the world.I had read that there is a big impact in all the victims that had passed by hate crimes, and I think that they suffer but also the families of the victims. Many immigrants suffer hate crimes, and who knows if today we are not in a bad position , but tomorrow we can be another victim of hate crimes.
4.Teaching Tolerance- After i read this website, i notice that this website is also create the magazine. I read the story about Hutterites ,they are the pacifist.300 years ago, they faced hatred and bigotry in Europe, and that is just because their beliefs. And now they are being together in western Canada and northern US, work and treat others just like brothers and sisters, but they do encourage the outsiders to join.
ReplyDelete5.Youth For Human Rights- This is a very interesting website. And it is my favorite website! In this website , you can watch a lot of videos about human rights. The videos are visual and make you easier to understand. Anyway, it is a wonderful, helpful website.
6.Not In Our Town- This website is work for having a safety world, and also communities. And i learn that nothing is impossible, if you want to try. If you are suffering discrimination, speak out about it , if you do not against, discrimination existing forever. But if you do, there is a chance.
a. From Amnesty International , I learned about a case about human rights in my country, China. Which is that Noble Price laureate Liu Xiaobo is jailed by the government of China because of his his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China.
ReplyDeleteb. From Human Rights Watch, I learned about the issue of Tibet in China. According to the report from the website, Chinese government has imposed drastic restrictions on Tibetan monasteries in the Aba prefecture of Sichuan province and other parts of the Tibetan plateau,which limited the freedom of Tibetan.
c. From ADl, I learned the most from the page combating hate. This website is more likely to focus on the issues around the U.S., such as the discrimination, unfair events, etc.Moreover, this website has more details than the first two, so that when we deal with issues of human rights in America,we can reference this website.
Amnesty International - is a global government That has a lot of group of person ( more than 3 millions supporters and members) around the world which campaign around to end grave abuses of human rights. They think that every person has the right to enjoy all the rights enshrined to the world. They also have everything that happens in each country and what they should do to help other country for having their own rights. What I also learn from this website is that my country (Madagascar) has been asked by this organization to be worry and care about the human rights of the citizens.
ReplyDeleteHuman right Watch - What I like from this page is that its full of information that is what I’m looking for such as the human rights from other country for example. What I learn from it is that its a leading independent organizations that defends and protects human rights. They also bring greater justice and security to people around the world. This organization is well known as their challenges to the governments and the one who has the power to break human rights law.
Anti-Defamation league - What I like about this site is that they have a lot information of education, legislation, and advocacy. The only difference of this site to the other site is that it is just this organization fights for Anti-Semitism in the United States.What I learn from this website is that they give the knowledge and tools to fight anti-Semitism, hatred and intolerance.

ReplyDelete1. I learned that in my county Suriname Amnesty International has serious human rights concerns in Suriname, ranging from impunity for violations committed over the last two decades and ongoing violations by security forces to prison conditions and treatment of detainees. Other matters of concern include the situation of children, administration of justice, protection against discrimination and Suriname position on the death penalty.
2.My favorite website was Amnesty International because i didn’t know what was going on in my country but now i know.
3. The way i can use this website is by keep going in to it so that i can know new updating new info
Amnesty International
ReplyDeleteBefore I go to the website of Amnesty International , I don’t really know what is it . By this website , I understand this organization well and deep . And I think it is a group that is really helpful and useful for us . In this group , we can show our abilities , and speak out what we want to say . Good group that is worth joining.
Human Rights Watch
I read this website in my home language , Chinese , and i paid attention to what happened in my country . I am so sorry about hearing these bad things . I think the relationship between government and people is like boat and water , the water that Bears the Boat is the same that swallows . Government has to care for people’s opinions and requirements. But in this website , I saw much information shows how people are dissatisfied with government , and how the government ignore people’s suggest .
The Anti Defamation League
In this website , I learned many things . The information here is like guide us how to do , how to make our fighting come true , and the two website above tell us what are they . One is action , one is theory .
Amnesty International:
ReplyDeleteFrom Amnesty International, I learned lots of information about Human rights that being a member in Amnesty International for intolerable human rights can be the most helpful. I also learned about my country’s and many other countries some problems that people are facing. This is a very good page for everyone to go and know more about the human rights all over the world .
Human right watch:
This web is very good because it has the videos that can make us feel and think more about the human rights.
The Anti Defamation League:
We can see that this web is totally different from the other two. Because it is mostly talking about the United States’ hate crime and discrimination. We are living in this country and we should know our rights and if needed we need to fight against for the human rights. And for that we have to know about human rights more and more.
1) From the Amnesty International I learned more about the different country in the world as well how can we help people in different way also what happenes around the world. Beside that I had seen about my country and the things are going on right now. Amnesty International has provide the specific information and specific topics of many different countries. They have lots of information about the country but but they don’t have enough pictures, some of the information they gave in this web which is very short. But the most important thing I learned that the problem about human rights in my country which I didn’t know.
ReplyDelete2) From Human Rights Watch this a very interesting website and they give us everything that what’s going on in the world. We can watch the videos so we can be able to understand more information. Also I read the articles about the country problems and how they abuse the human rights. This is a really good website.
3) ADL is the different website than other two. Mostly they give the information in U.S.A. about hate crimes and discrimination. It protect religious freedom, education and more. I like this website because they give us clear information about fighting against human rights and to protect them.

ReplyDeleteEven though they have lots of information about the country but they don't have enough pictures and some of the information they gave in this web which is very short. But the most important thing I learned from this is about my country and what is going on there with the human rights.
Human Rights Watch is a very interesting website and they have give the information about what’s going on in the world. We can watch the videos from the website and also we can learn about it and understand more clrarly. Also I read the articles about the countries and about the problems they are having and how they abuse the human rights.
ADL is also a nice website with a lot of information. Mostly they give the information in U.S.A. about hate crimes and discrimination. It protects religious freedom, education and some other more. I like this website because they give us clear information about fighting against human rights as well to protect them.
a. Amnesty international: In this website I learned a lot, I saw different things i didn't know, it showed me different rights around the world and also problems that many countries have right now, I saw many things about my country that i didn't know, this is important and helpful because we can know what’s happening around the world and our native countries.
ReplyDeleteb. Human rights watch: this page is one of my favorites because it shows us a lot of information about many countries, but also you can see articles and news about your country, I liked to read articles about my country because actually there are many things i don't know, also it’s good because we can read it in our own language. In addition the purpose of this website is to defend human rights in the areas where these rights are currently violated.
c. The Anti-defamation league: This website is different than the other two because it is about United States, we can see what’s happening in each state and this is about hate crimes and discrimination, this is important because we can know more about it, especially where we live now. This page shows us how to fight against hate crimes and also to fight for our rights.
@Jessica: I agree with you, my favorite website is Youth for Human Rights. There's nothing more interesting than their videos.
ReplyDelete@Rosanna: If we all participate in this cause, we could really make a difference. We should fight against hate, even though it will never end. We can minimize it to the smallest range as possible.
*..Amnesty International
ReplyDeleteThis page taught me a lot about how to help people by sending funds, this website is very helpful and useful because through this page we can see the news not just in U.S but all over the word... I really like the point of this website because they are trying to help and defend the human rights of people all around the word.
*..Human Rights Watch
I loved this page because there i can learned a lot about some stories that they show us complete without any restriction. This website offers many alternatives to give some help to the country beside U.S, to force the Human rights. I really like this page because they try to help the countries that don’t have freedom of speech at all. I would love to participate in those programs.
*..The Anti Defamation League
I also loved this page, because it gives me information about the country where i’m living which is U.S. It show a lot of what happening in new york and other states.It also try to defend human rights no matter what. I think this website is very useful for those people that dont like to watch the news in t.v about what’s happening actually in this country, so they can go and find it in this page.

Amnesty International:
ReplyDeleteIts a very informative website, Reading through it, I informed myself about certain human rights issues going on in countries that I didn't even know that existed.I like it because besides informing you, it tells you how can you help regarding the violations of human rights around the world.
Human Rights Watch:
It has a lot of information about violation of human rights in the world: this would be an excellent website to read, so we can understand what have happened before and how that has to be with the current events happening. watching this website I learned how many countries face the same struggle. Websites like this make you aware of whats outside our boxes, and makes you want to do something about it.
The Anti Defamation League:
Even when this foundation was created to protect Jews from anti-semitism, over the years their coverage has extended to minorities such as hispanic, african americans and asians. I think that as they were fighting for the rights of Jew people they discovered how many other people needed to be defended against hate. I really like how they work on the media to control Anti-semitism and hate because in my opinion media as a broad field of comunication help to spread hate but at the same time can be controlled as it has being with the help of this organization.
