December 10 is International Human Rights Day;Obama receives Nobel Peace Award
0 comments Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 6:08 AMWith all the depressing news that dominates nowadays, it is uplifting to hear that Nobel Prize is given to President Barack Obama which providentially happens on the day when it is International Human Rights Day. While, as ever, critics question why Obama is the choice, we beg to disagree. Obama symbolizes newness of leadership and possibilities.
I teach Education 138 which is Peace Education and this is a good point of discussion at a time when in Copenhagen there is Climate Change Summit (December 7-18,2009) and in the Philippines , a joint session of the House of Senate and the House of Congress to find out the validity of the declaration of Martial Law in Maguindanao. Peace, please present yourself more often.
The issue on Human Rights is also a topic that should be linked with the quest for peace. December 10 is International Human Rights Day, a timely celebration of what man seems to be losing gradually due to dynasties, power struggle and plain selfishness of man.
We look forward to that era when man's inalienable rights are respected and peace reigns!
