Human rights and us

Human rights and us

Supporting human rights is fundamental to attain a better world. And each of us have much to do about it. Why don´t we create “The Good Manners´Day ? Just for one day we could propose ourselves to be kind to others. That wuold be a good and practical way to show that universal values also matters to us. And by extension that we really want to feel them in every day life aspects.

Lara Moreno	From the very beginning, the ability to talk has set us apart from animals. With freedom of  speech we went a step further. Now, we use the war to solve all our problems. Because of it I believe that we should be clever enough to understand that with freedom of speech all the things are easier to solve. Today more than ever, we should never forget it.

Solving the Gargage Glut- With Compost As Mankind’s garbage piles up, it poses one of the toughest dilemmas on our age. Modern Technology, adept though it is at producing garbage, seems quite at a loss when it comes to getting rid of it. The obvious, time-honoured solutions are fraught with problems. Since dumping the garbage may polute neighboring groundwater, many countries have forced garbage dumps to close. And burning the garbage can realese toxic chemicals and leave behind ash, both of which present own disposal problems. High-technology incinerators are thus unpopular in many areas. What alternative is left? Some suggest a natural way of getting rid of solid waste-a sort of biological fire called composting. Like fire, composting reduces organic matter into a number of by-products releasing heat in the process. The by-products of composting can be quiet useful. The gases and heat may be used as sources of energy. And the solid by-product, humus, is a valuable soil fertilizes in agriculture. Each of us can cooperate wiht whatever recycling laws are in effect where live but we would like to know if there are many plants treating garbage as effectively as this system in the E.U. countries.

Prisons in Crisis

Public confidence in the prison system is not helped by the inhumane conditions to which prisoners are exposed as we have recently watched on TV. Prisoners who have suffered unjust treatment while serving their sentences are hardly candidates to reabilitation. From my point of view, the purpose of the penal system is, not to reabilitate, but to keep criminals away from the rest of society. That´s the core of the problem- the mind-set of the prison system towards these men. While it may be true that incarcelation alone does not instill new values  my question is: Is real reform possible? And if so, what types of programmes are being carried out to rehabilitate criminals in order to teach them to be law-abiding and productive after their release?.
