This blog is the collaborative effort of a group of high school students for a Modern Problems course.
It is intended to cover the broad topic of human rights on the global scene. More specifically, we hope to inform and reflect upon current issues relating to genocide, enhanced interrogation/torture, capital punishment, slavery, worker conditions, abortion, sex trade, prison conditions, civil rights, and more. These issues are some of the most pressing of our times, and thus it is equally pressing that the public remains aware and enlightened about them.
Information will be obtained through Google Reader, and sources will include mainly BBC, CNN, the New York Times, NPR, and a selection of international news outlets. Contributors will include David, Cally, Leila, Barbara, Lisa, Alisa, and Dani. Each individual author will contribute a post three times throughout each marking period, so look for updates around Feb. 22, March 7, and March 21 to begin with.
