final blog

Aliou balde



Throughout this cluster we have learned about the affectivity and limit of how the language of human right works. In this blog I will use document work for martin Luther king jr civil right campaign that we have been using in our English101 course, my research paper about death penalty in my human right class, and finally idea from intro to language course to a clear explanation of limit and efficacy of the  language of human.

  We can see the use of human right language in must part of King civil right campaign as he always talk about in his speech and writing of the right that we have all as human. King idea of non-violent was itself another way of using language to advocate human right because the fact that he was not using violence or hate is way of saying we all equal and should be living as brothers instead of fighting like enemies. The language of human right works only when it is heard by the people. King used his speech and protest to make people heard his call for freedom and equality this is an example of the efficacy of the language of human right because those form of language which speech, boycott, and marches used by king where some of the main reason of the civil right campaign success.

    However the use of language to advocate for right has some limit when it comes to using them to take away other person right. Language can be used to affirm or denied someone right that in the 30TH article of universal decoration right say no one can use his right to denied somebody else right, but steal in the U.S some states are using their power to take away individual right to life and taken away they 8th amendment right that guarantee them the right to be protected against unusual and cruel punishment. They are taking away this right by arguing that it only a way of stopping criminal from committing more crimes. This is a form of human right language that shouldn’t be used because it takes away someone else right.

In our intro to language class we learned that language more than a way of communication is also a way to protect our right because the more you know about language the more you about your right and the more you can use it to advocate human right and communicate them to people from different culture.

      The use of language to advocate human right is the best way to communicate human right to people around the world that are been denied because they never heard of them and obviously have no idea that as person they have rights that nobody can take away from them . those right are limited because you cannot use your language to take away somebody else right using language.

my name is Mohamed A. Balde am originally from guinea west africa, i was born in senegal in1994, but moved to moved to paris (france) where i grew up when i was 2 years old with my familly. i moved to the united states after i graduated from midle school. language is a huge part of me as i have lived in many places and had to learn new languages i speak 6 language but the one am confortable with the most are frensh, english, and fulany. i believe that as human to know and protect our right we should try to speak as many language as possible.

Human right is things that are undeniable to any person. I believe that the best way to advocate those rights is true communication (languages) because without it most people wouldn’t know that they actually have certain rights that nobody even the government can take away from them.
people are wondering how they will make the world a bettere place i think the easiess way to do it is by using our voices. while million of people where wondering how to make anought money to feed the starving kids in somalie a 12 years years old ghannaen boy came up with an idia that help him raise over $80000 dollars U.S which he send in to somalie to help feed those kids, his idia was to use his young voice and write latter to induviduals and compognise asking them to do something for those kids who have no hope but to recieve donations to help them survive. for me this was an amzing way of saving life and there was at 1 in every 5 persone living in this world with the same hearth as this kid  the world would hve been a better place for all.
