“I picked article 3 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. I learned other countries do not share the same freedoms that we have in the US and they have to fight for their rights each day when we are just given them in the US and just expect to have them. The images I chose conveyed well my statement. The world would be a much better place if every country would give their people the human rights they deserve to have. Also treated with respect by their government they might then not revolt or migrate to other countries that treat them like people not like objects.”
