Discuss your impressions of yesterday's refugee assembly

I wasn't really aware of Malaysia having refugees, yesterday's refugee assembly really taught me how hard life is for a refugee. When the stories were told, they were filled with such emotions, it affected me as well. It made me realize how lucky I am to not have to run away from my own country, or be afraid of new surroundings, or live without education. I was amazed by the refugees' resilience and will to survive.

Group Success Criteria

This is our success criteria.

Human Rights Issue

The issue my group is doing is HIV/AIDS. We're researching on HIV positive victims from parts of the world. I'm researching on the children who are infected with HIV/AIDS in Africa. All my life, I've been hearing about the HIV positive victims from Africa but I've never done any research to find out more about it. Now, I have an opportunity to research about it in school as one of my assignments, so I'm willing to take it. I have never experienced being a HIV positive victim, so I would like to read about the stories of other people who are infected with HIV just to make me look at this issue in a different perspective and to make the biography I'm writing easier to write. I chose this issue because all of the victims' stories I've read so far have touched and inspired me and made me realize how lucky I am to not be infected with any sort of diseases like this.

What is the issues that you think you would like to focus on? Why?

I chose Troy Davis because I would like to know how this is an issue of Human Rights. I've never researched on an issue like this, that is why I found it interesting when i read a summary on him. Now, I would like to read a full story of him and why it was a HR issue.

3 things that you learned from Monday's presentation

The three things I have learned from Monday's presentation are Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Amnesty International. The focused HR in these topics are No Discrimination. Nelson Mandela was the first black president in South Africa after going through a hard time in trying to give rights to blacks like how the government has given to the whites. Martin Luther King made a speech and changed the laws of equality of African-American and whites. Amnesty focuses on every country to see if they have followed the HR rules.

3 things that you learned from Thursday's presentations.

I have learnt about the Holocaust, the worst genocide in Human History. This was the killing of many jews because the Nazi’s didn’t like them. I also learnt about Gandhi, a influential man who was against racial discrimination. He protested against the British in a peaceful manner. I also learnt about the United Nations which is an organization that helps stop wars between countries from happening.
