1st Quarter: AOD Blog #2

According to my research on India's constitution, it is quite similar to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Part III of India's constitution is all about fundamental rights. Article 14 and 15 deals with equality: equality before the law, and Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. These articles clearly states that everyone has a right to equality and that the state will not deny it. In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, articles 1, 2, 7, and 21 also deal with equality. The articles listed entitles everyone to all rights and freedoms set in the UDHR without any discrimination. These articles mainly stuck out to me because of the key word "equality". I absolutely hate it when things are unfair, especially in sports, games, etc. Not only that, but I also hate it when people exclude others or something like that, because of their race, sex, religion, etc. We were taught in history that many settlers/colonists wanted Natives that were men as slaves. Although women were capable of doing many things, they preferred males because the women did not meet certain "standards". Controlling women and men in slavery is obviously a bad thing, but I just wanted to point out that although they may be women, they are capable of doing just as good as men.
