Read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (along with the document background notes, the document study questions and some information about the United Nations) and answer the following question in a paragraph.
Citing specific evidence from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (not from the textbook), how has the Universal Declaration influenced political events in the world since its adoption in 1948?
I also have some comments on human rights for my History of the World since 1945 course.
Your paragraph must follow this format.
- begin with a concise topic sentence (sentence 1) that directly responds to the assigned question (no need to define terms or cite a dictionary) and that identifies your analysis/thesis points.
- font size 10 or 12 only
- one-inch margins
- double-spaced
- direct, quoted material to support your points
- name, and only your name, at the top left of the paper
- about one-half page in length (not to exceed 3/4 page)
- You may consider submitting a draft of your assignment to your instructor for feedback before submitting the assignment for the grade. At times, you may be asked to rewrite your essay. This is done for your own benefit and will result in an improved grade.
Please take a moment to review Charlie's History Writing Center(See the tutorial on the one-page paper and the paper examples.) for specific information on the writing requirements for the assignments in the course. There is also a good example of a one-page paper available that will show you how to structure your paper. Please check this short explanation of what it means to cite historical evidence.
Your assignment should be submitted on Canvas.
