Human rights

 For the past week we've been doing human rights as an activity in social studies and we've also been comparing the universal declaration of human rights with Te Tiriti o Waitangi seeing the similarities and differences between the two topics. I've found many similarities and differences between the two and i've learnt some interesting facts like there both signed on different years and they each have a different amount of rules/rights because the universal declaration of human rights has 31 rules/rights as for the Treaty of Waitangi it has 3 articles covering rules and rights of the Queen of England who is in charge

Equality

 

For my presentation I chose this picture, you might be wondering why, well because as you can see there are 2 people of different genders, the pink a woman and the blue a man each on both sides of the scale and this shows how equal they are to each other.

 Since it is balanced they are both equal and they are the same in status. This shows us that men and women are the same even if they get higher pay or more attention.

This ensures that whoever you are or wherever you were born that you get a fair chance at everything no matter what color, race, or culture.

 This photo also means that men and women can do whatever they want that includes Sports, job applications and opportunities because some people think that only men can do certain things such as jobs because they can manage it and they dont expect women to do as good or even better, but they can if they have enough enthusiasm and experience. because they're as good as anyone and can conquer anything. Well this is the end of my presentation and before I end it does anyone have any questions... 

it wasn't that long but thank you for listening.
