My name is Chris Tran

PART 1 ARTICLE 4 No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.

I chose Article 4 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights as my most important point as No human should be made a slave against their will. Slavery is wrong because no one has the right to own someone. Slaves were treated very poorly and inhumanly. I believe everyone should have the right to freedom and be treated equally.

PART 2

WE ARE THE WORLD There comes a time When we head a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying And it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all

We can't go on Pretending day by day That someone, somewhere will soon make a change We are all a part of  God's great big family ( Biblical Reference ) And the truth, you know love is all we need

[Chorus] We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day ( descriptive language ) So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me

Send them your heart So they'll know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stone to bread So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus] We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me

When you're down and out There seems no hope at all But if you just believe There's no way we can fall Well, well, well, well, let us realize That a change will only come When we stand together as one

[Chorus] We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me

What is the subject matter of the song?(what is it about?) The song “ We are the World “ appears to be a song that focused on what was happening in Africa. It tells us that there are many people in Africa who don’t have homes, food and water. One of the quotes in the song “ We are the world, We are the children, We are the one who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving” implies that we are what makes up the world and that we are the ones who can make the day enjoyable for everyone else by giving them a little something. Not everyone in Africa has had an easy life and they too are human beings who have feelings, so if the society just leant a “helping hand” they would be very grateful. The song focuses to the dire needs of those affected by the African famine. What social justice issues are apparent? (with examples from the text) The song highlights the problems of hunger and homelessness in Africa. Which techniques are evident? (annotations are acceptable)

PART 3- Aboriginal charter of rights

a) Identify the rhyming pattern of this poem and provide an example.

The rhyming pattern ABAB. eg. We want hope (A), not racialism (B) , Brotherhood (A), not ostracism (B),

b) Explain what a 'charter' is and how this title links to the content of the poem.

A charter is the grant of authority or rights. This title links to the poem because the aboriginals in the poem are asking for rights that they don't have.

c) "Opportunity that places

White and black on equal basis" How do these two lines link the poem to the concept of social justice?

These two lines link to the poem as it is implying that both the white race and black race are competence therefore making them both equal. The poem shows us that this is what the Aboriginals are trying to achieve.

d) In **paragraph** form select **TWO** techniques used in this poem and write about them using the four step process: 1. Identify technique 2. Provide example 3. Explain the effect 4. Link back to Social Justice NOTE: You must use complex/sophisticated techniques not basic 'repetition'

1st Technique Juxtaposition Black advance, not white ascendance. Make us equals, not dependents. We need help, not exploitation, We want freedom, not frustration; Not control, but self-reliance,

These are all examples of Juxtaposition. The effect of juxtaposition is to let us see and compare things better. It lets us see things more clearly as they are side by side.It focuses more on something and draws our attention to it. Juxtaposition relates to social justice as it lets us see clearly where we have treated a person wrongly because it put both a positive point and a negative point next to each other

2nd technique Symbolism You the law, like Roman Pontius, Make us proud, not colour-conscious;

Roman Pontius, the Roman governor of judea. He was a very powerful man. It compares the law with Roman Pontius as the law is also very powerful. This line "You the law, like Roman Pontius,Make us proud, not colour-conscious" is telling the law if it is so powerful, make people respect Aboriginals for who they are and not what colour they are.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">e) What is the purpose of the poem? and How do you know this?

The purpose of this poem is to educate us about racism and equality. It teaches us about how people are treated just because they're different. Aboriginal people in this poem are contesting that they should have human rights. Aboriginals all want to be treated with respect and equality and not be despised because they look different, after all aren't we the ones that look different as we took their land.
