A. Write on three of the following:
1. Food Sovereignty:
a. Food sovereignty is having the right to the appropriate food that the country provides for you as well as, the right to define your own food systems. Food sovereignty and food security go hand-in-hand; furthermore, food security as stated by Rosset in his article “Food Sovereignty,” he states that food security is the right to having enough food to eat each day (Rosset, Food Sovereignty, P. 1). Now, it doesn’t state how it’s made or produced, but it gives a certainty that we are supposed to have a certain amount of food to eat each day. With that being said, how it challenges the free trade agreements with the want to exclude all sorts of food and agriculture from the trade agreements

Why is that? Why is it that men can have human and legal rights, but women can’t? Why are our rights being violated? A strategic objective that was mentioned was “Women’s rights are human rights” which, was mentioned my Hilary Clinton in the film, but made an impact on my brain that stuck with me. It’s a movement, we need, it’s a movement that we need to show that “yes, we are human and yes, we also have rights.” It’s not fair that they deem that from us. A suggested action that was told to complete or address that area is to promote education of human and legal rights in the school ideals of all levels of education. Also public campaigns and teaching them that not only do gender norms happen in private life, also teach them to include these rights in their families and make sure you practice …show more content…
Legal rights can keep women from agriculture, it can keep us from education, and it can keep us from taking appropriate measures to get things done. It ties into the human rights aspect of this topic that was presented at the Beijing Platform, but getting into detail legal rights are rights we are entitled to, but sometimes become stripped of. There are legal rights that as humans we all have and as women we get some of those taken away from us without our knowledge. One action that Beijing brought up was to, “Provide non-formal education, especially for rural women, in order to realize their potential with regard to health, micro- enterprise, agriculture and legal rights” (Beijing Platform for Action, umn.edu). Sometimes women aren’t as lucky as the people in different countries, there are still small countries that don’t get as much education or any education at times. So we can teach them about our legal rights and where we stand as women, get some knowledge, even if it means providing a non-formal education
The two biggest wars in the world were the Great War and The World War 2 that have ended a long time ago. However, there is still another war ongoing in the world, it is a “Women’s war.” In this war, women are fighting for their own rights in every country include American. In order to encourage women in this long fight, on September 5, 1995, Hillary Clinton gave the “Women’s right are Human’s right” speech at the United Nation’s Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. She argued for the equal rights of the women and against the abuse of women around the world. Logos, ethos, parallelism are three elements make “Women’s right are Human’s right” an effective speech.
...women has escalated to an all-time high. Hillary Clinton’s speech “Women’s Rights are Human Rights” targets this growing problem and by portraying a purpose, style and language, and different appeals to the audience effectively.
Women's rights is the fight for women to have equal rights to men. In India women have a secondary status within the household and workplace. This will affect a women's health, financial status, education, and political involvement. Women are normally married young, quickly become mothers, and are then burdened by this and also financial responsibilities. Unfortunately to this present day we are still fighting for women’s rights.
The Good Food Revolution by Will Allen is about creating a healthy and safe community. It describes the process of growing fresh food in an urban environment, and also how doing so can be used to improve a community. It also describes the blessings and hardships of life as an an urban farmer.
(2) “If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, it is that human rights are women's rights - and women's rights are human rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely - and the right to be heard” (Clinton, 1995).
There are a lot of reasons why I chose to pursue pharmacy as my career and they all point to the most important reason: pharmacy is a great fit for my life and is something I have become increasingly passionate about. It started when I was researching careers with my parents and my dad suggested pharmacy and, simply put, it sparked my interest because at the time it was one of the few things I thought I would not hate doing. A healthcare career has always been where I put myself in the future, mainly because most of my family members are in the healthcare field. However, I have never been one that could directly help the wounded or deal with anything gory, but am very intrigued by the growing science of pharmacy. As I continue exploring pharmacy, the more I enjoy learning about it and feel like I could excel in this career.
The book that I read for the required assignment is titled Food Justice, written by two authors. The authors of the book are Robert Gottlieb and Anupama Joshi. The book, in my opinion seemed to be a series of historical and somewhat current stories. The stories in the book discussed how different individuals were affected, whether it be farmers or consumers. Food Justice teaches us that growing and eating food are political acts that challenge a system that is neither good, nor clean, nor fair.
Hillary Clinton spoke at the United Nation’s fourth world conference on women that was held in Beijing, China in 1995. She made a speech entitled, “Women’s Rights are Human Rights.” The speech was designed to meet the goal of women having rights are human rights. Clinton has been a women’s rights activist since the beginning of her career. She delivered the speech to one hundred and eighty countries, non-governmental organizations, and ordinary people. In the speech, some constraints of Clinton’s speech include her political background causing the audience to be suspicious of what Clinton has to say on this topic. Male audiences that have a prejudice against women and how much freedom they should be allowed because
During her early life, Hillary Clinton learned that a huge problem across the globe was gender inequality. Women and men were not equal. Men were making more money than women for the same jobs. She believed she could change this. On September 5, 1995 Hillary Clinton gave a speech at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women. Clinton uses powerful rhetoric in order to create an air of sympathy for women among her audience. She is hoping to make the world become more aware of the inequalities women face daily while also making them feel ashamed for their previous actions of discriminating women, which would cause them to change their ways. She uses her speech “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights” to create awareness of the discrimination
The narrow view of the world that we often experience prevents us from even engaging for or against ideals that we would take on, given the chance. We often become deaf to opportunity, however. While it may seem we are complicit in many of the injustices that our society perpetuates, often times we are not even aware of the issue. An uninformed decision will be as bad as no decision. Many problems exude from the state of our social values. The role that women play in society is slowly changing from that of a ‘nurturer’ to any role a woman strives for. Progress has come through much pain and the hope is one day there will be real equality in the results of our societies spoken and unspoken laws.
Women's rights are the rights and entitlements claimed for women and girls of many societies worldwide. In some countries these rights are supported by law, local cultures and behaviors, but in others they may be ignored or infringed on. They are considered different from the broader concept of “human rights” because of historical and traditional bias against the rights of women in favor of men. These rights include: the right to vote (also called suffrage), the right to work, the right to have equal pay, the right to own property, the right to education, the right to serve in the military, the right to enter into legal contracts, and the right to have marital, parental and religious rights.
Between all the trouble in the world, women's rights still stands out. This is a very important subject all around the world and makes the woman race feel equal and needed. Women’s rights have been important since the 1800s and is still a debatable topic today. Even though they think women don't have the potential to do anything, all women should be equal and should have equal rights with men because women should have a say with what happens in this world and women can pretty much do whatever a man can do.
Women Deserve the Same Rights as Men From the beginning of time, women have played a powerful role in the shaping of this world. They have stood by idly and watched as this country moved on without them, and yet they have demanded equal rights as the nation rolls along. Through the years, the common belief has been that women could not perform as well as men in anything, but over the years that belief has been proven wrong time and time again. So as time marches on, women have clawed and fought their way up the ladder to gain much needed equal respect from the opposite sex. However, after many years of pain and suffering, the battle for equal rights has not yet been won.
There was a time in the world when women were without basic rights and required the power to make decisions about their own lifestyle. They weren’t educated to the same standard as men. They weren’t allowed to work, they weren’t even allowed to inherit property. Everything belonged to their husband or family. There were no women in the police force or government and women weren’t even allowed to vote. Men’s power over women often cost their lives , the physical power is obvious. But there is also emotional power. Yet, after many years, women and men are still not equal. Women and girls should be able to lead a free, equal and self-determining life in every corner of the world just like men do so.
There are those that believe our planet has reached its maximum capacity to sustain humanity and we need to reduce our population to rectify it. It is also said that our planet is well capable of providing both the nutrition and caloric needs for humanity, both now and into the future as well. Regardless of where one’s opinion of the facts fall between these two arguments, global food security is not where it should be. Uneven development could be argued to be a cause of this. But it is not the only issue affecting the planet.
