When Good Rights Go Wrong. <br />Name: Christian Favazza <br />Honorable Mention <br />Parkview 8th Grade <br />Teacher: Mr. Lucas Ebert <br />Do you use Facebook, Twitter, My Space, Form Spring or other <br />social media? If you do, have you ever written something bad about <br />someone you did not like? Do you think you have a right to trash, bag <br />on, put down, spread rumors or even imply harm to someone on the <br />internet? How about at school? According to the United Nations <br />Declaration of Human Rights article #19, which states freedom of <br />expression as a basic human right, you have the right to say anything <br />you want about anyone. However, there is a point when one person's <br />right violates another person's rights. That's when a good right goes <br />wrong. <br />The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, article #3 states <br />everyone has the liberty and security of person. If you are putting <br />someone down, making them sad and scared, you are violating their <br />right to feel safe. If a person is afraid to walk down the halls at school <br />because someone will taunt them, that violates their right to freely and <br />safely walk to class. What about Human Rights article #26 the right to <br />an education? If someone is afraid to go to school because people can say <br />anything they want about them, aren't those same people are violating <br />the person's right to an education by exercising their own rights to <br />freedom of expression? <br />
