=**Task 1 - UN Declaration of Human Rights **=


 * Article 1 **
 * All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.**

Article one is the most important article to me because it is the base of all the other articles as the other articles expand and explain article one in more detail. It says that "all human beings are free and equal in dignity and rights" and this is what gives us the freedom to be able to go overseas, get married to who you want to be married with, to be able to express your opinions and the right to have food, clothes, shelter and water. In article one it also sates "...act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood". This tells us that if we were to treat everyone as if they were your brother or sister than the world wouldn't have any war or violence and everything would be peaceful.

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

The rhyming pattern of this poem is "AABBCCDD..."

We want hope, not racialism, [A] Brotherhood, not ostracism, [A] Black advance, not white ascendance. [B] Make us equals, not dependents. [B] We need help, not exploitation, [C] We want freedom, not frustration; [C] Not control, but self-reliance, [D] Independence, not compliance, [D]

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

A "charter" is defined in the dictionary as "a document incorporating an institution and specifying its rights". This means that is a written form that clearly states what the rights and privileges of a what a certain institution has. The title links into the content of the poem by telling us how aborigines are treated and what they are lacking in their lives. It tells us that they are the same as everyone else and they need the same essentials just like anyone else to live.

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 to the concept of social justice because these lines tell us that people with black skin are not being treated equally and fairly as the white people and this is all because of their skin colour. This links to two big social justice issues which are racism and equality.
