Persuasive: Body Paragraphs

What human rights do you think are most important? There is a big debate over many of our human rights. The human rights that we have now are essential for America to function in unity. We are one and in order to be as such we must protect our human rights.

We have a freedom to make our own choices. This is extremely important. If we are not allowed that basic right we can’t hope to stay sane. True, crime may go down with lack of ability to choose whether or not we want to commit the crime, but what would the punishment be? Would you be sentenced to death if you were to break any law? These are questions that we don’t think about because of the way we live in America.

We have the right to be treated equal. We have had problems with this in the past. We have fought in war over slavery and in its beliefs. No matter the person whether it’s an African American or a clone they are still human beings. In short, treating people differently because of who they are is a sad thing.

People have the right to no cruel punishments. We have seen the abuse of children and couples all the time on the news. Being beaten or brutally murdered for believing against the norm is a sick thing. I have heard of many gays and lesbians be killed for their homosexuality. Can we possibly believe that that is an okay thing?

In conclusion I would ask that you think about your rights. Think about all the freedoms you have and why you have them. You are a very lucky person to be where you are right now. You live in a land of opportunity!
