HuMaN rIgHtS

0. Do you know about human rights? what's your score?
My score is 14/41! Before doing the quiz I thought that my score would better, but from my results I can see the bit that I do not know about human rights.

1.What are human rights?
Human rights are rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.

2. When did human rights start?
On December 10th of 1948 the general assembly of United Nations proclaimed the declarations of human rights.

3. Why were they created?
Human rights were created to try to get all the people to respect each other. To try to prevent problems concerning the race, colour, sex, religion...

4. How many rights are there?
There are 30 articles, and each one is a definition of one right.

5.Which human right were you not familiar with?
I think there aren't any human rights that I'm not familiar with, because I think that all the rights are very important if we want a society that works well.

6. Choose one human right and discuss:
- Watch the video of human rights
-It is fully respected in your country today? justify with news, comments, studies of the sbject ( cite the links of your information sources)
-Do you know if it has been respected in the past? why or why not?
-Where in the world is this right not complied with? Check here.

7. Are Human rights relevant in the world today? why?
I think that now, even more than ever, human rights, are relevant and very important in the world today, because in fact, every day the world gets " a bit crazier". There are people that have extreme power and money. This power and money can be used for bad porposes. With human rights this power and money should be used to respect the people, for example. Preventing child labours, appropriate work/living standards, the ability to speek freely without being punished.

My FaUvOrItE dAy Of tHe ChRiStMaS hOlIdAyS



My fauvorite day of the christmas holidays is, exactlly, the last day of the year, 31 of Desember, New years Eve. It's a very special day for all the people in the world because we think about all the things that have passed in the year, they stay with family, they have a dinner, talk... At twelve o' clock they eat 12 grapes and then they go with friends to party!


Last year I went to dinner with my family at my grandmother's house, like every year. After that I went with my friends to a disco (Millenium, Girona) and we spent all night there. This night, was the best night of all the year.

This year, I don't know my plans. Perhaps I will go to Barcelona, a new place, different emotions, atmosphere... but definately I will first spend time with my family: eating, talking, remeniscing and eating grapes.
I think that this year will be better than the last year
