Session 18: Millenium Development Goals


 * 18.1:** **Review**

The **Universal Declaration of Human Rights** (**UDHR**) is a declaration adopted by the [|United Nations General Assembly] (10 December 1948 at [|Palais de Chaillot], Paris). The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the [|Second World War] and represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. I do think that all countries follow the UDHR. I dont think it is being followed in africa.
 * What is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
 * Do you think that all countries (including the U.S.) follow the UDHR?
 * Give examples of instances in which you think it is not being followed.


 * 18.2: Millenium Development Goals**


 * **Similarities between the Two Documents** || **Differences between the Two Documents** ||
 * They both include the primary right to have an education. || The second document deal more with personal problems around the world. ||
 * Involves rights of one self || The second document is more general and the UDHR is more specific in what it wants to do. ||
 * Equality between men and women ||  ||
 * The protection of the health of all. ||  ||

The world has made progress towards the Millenium Development Goals an example of how is improvement of education around the world because around the world kids are enrolled in school and they are making improvement in the equality between boys and girls. I do not think we will reach all goals by 2015 because the world is very big and not everthing can be accomplished. Something that suprises me is that there are more targets already met than no progress or low progress.
 * Has the world made progress towards the Millenium Development Goals? Give SPECIFIC examples.
 * Do you think that we will reach all goals by 2015 (the expected end of the mdg's)? Why/Why not?
 * What surprises you when you look a the 2011 progress chart?
