HUMAN RIGHTS IN COLOMBIA

Before entering to the topic of human rights in Colombia, is important to give the definition of what are human rights, human rights are defined as rights inherent to all human beings, whatever the nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language ,or any other status. These were born in 1789 when the French Revolution ended, this violent process also concluded all the atrocities and infringements a determinated group of people denominated “monarchs” did, because they were the ones on charge of paying out the vast majority of the population. So, the persons who participated into this event to culminate the abomination decided to establish a series of rules that will assure of this episode not to happen again.

In Colombia, human rights are stipulated and protected under on its political constitution, and there are many nongovernmental and governmental organizations that advocate in favor of the respect of the already mentioned, however it does affect the fact that even in the 21st century , the nation still has a high rate of cases were this inherent rights were vulnerable.

Most of the common instances of breach of this highly praised rights are focused mainly on women, ethnical groups and children.
The relevance of the role that children occupy on society and the need of special protection are not fresh news, and it is totally clearly that kids are not a minor group, but its fragile state of development is what makes its rights infringed.

Moving on to other group that is also greatly discriminated are women, there are many reasons why, areas, and ways women are seen as vulnerable human beings and excluded from certain activities. Many opinions claim that this is due to the role women have in procreation and antique beliefs that openly state this individuals are just for performing domestic activities.

The Colombian Government in order to cease all the before mentioned infractions against human rights takes properly actions underlying the law, in the first case involving children with an organism with the acronym ICBF, which has the strict duty to plead for children at any cost for a suitable life and integral development. For the second example of vulnerable groups, women the government states that women as men have the right to place women in position making decisions , promote positive perceptions of women and provides many legal entities were is free cost to manifest any way of exclusion in order to as already mentioned, take the right actions on the situation to demonstrate the matter of the case and to break the boundaries and insecurities women who rather not advocating for its rights for whatever reasons, the government in this cases also helps them on their education and healthcare.


To summarize, even though Colombia performs many attempts to eradicate this problem, it still longer, and it will not stop until any change inside the management of this violations is made , and the Colombian society does not raise awareness by itself.

In this essay I am going to talk about how the values of fairness and justice are applied to the story of “A modest proposal” by Jonathan Swift. The point of this author in his essay is to confront the Irish society with the working and living conditions of the less fortunate of Ireland. This essay is wiring with satire and with what we call “black humor”. Most of the people who read this story didn’t really understand that it wasn’t literal so this lead to a lot of bad critics. The values of justice and fairness are not really applied to the story if we see the story in a way of critique, for example how can we see fairness if in the story the proposal of the author is that poor people to reduce overpopulation are almost obligated to sell their babies to people with a lot of money for them to eat their children, this wouldn’t be fair because fairness is basically treating people in a way who is right or reasonable and clearly selling a baby for people to eat it isn’t right and it is k

HOW SHOULD CHRISTMAS BE CELEBRATED

In this essays topic is on discussion how should this religious event conforming to the authors of this text opinion. Chrsitmas is a worldwide festivity for people whom firmly believe Jesus Christ is the depiction of God. This holiday is celebrated in order to praise the Messiahs arrival to Earth. Because of the previous mentioned facts, we can infere that this is a religous date. So in my opinion this holy day, christians and other religions that see Jesus Christ as the one and only, should spend this day with family and/or friends, with the inital objective of appreciating this ethereal being.  However I also think, If people rather to perform all the traditions of this period of the year such as, the ornament of the christmas tree, the exchange of gifts and dinner at midnight, the mistletoe decoration, it is completely fine, even though divers scriptures of the Holy Bible state this are blasphemous actions towards God. According to my point of view this is kind of a

My name is Vanessa Villamizar, I was born in a southern american country called Colombia. Colombia is a beautiful country with a considerable geographic space. This nation shares boundaries with four different countries, Panama at the North that once was part of Colombia, Venezuela at the East side, Ecuador at the West side and finally Brazil. I think Colombia is such an amazing country because of all the richness it has in many areas, first the diversity in vegetation and natural places such as el desierto en La Guajira, La Sierra Nevada , Santa Marta , the forests at El Amazonas and the Pacific Region, and plenty of other scenarios where everyone can evidence flora and fauna and  natutal resources as well , which Colombia outstands to have  because of the highest number of frog species in the world and flora has the largest amount of orquidia flowers in the world. These are facts that prove why Colombia is such a rich country. Another amazing thing about this incredible place is t
