After watching the videos and reading through the 30 Articles of the Declaration, post a thoughtful discussion addressing the following questions:

• What do you think is the purpose of the Declaration of Human Rights? Is it effective?
• What are its strengths and weaknesses?
• Do you agree with the former U. N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein that our world leaders are failing to defend these basic human rights? Why or why not?
• Choose two Articles that you think are among the most important in the Declaration. Explain what these mean to you and why you think they are important.
• What moral/ethical principles and theories are reflected in the Articles you chose?
• For which real-world issues in our modern society do the Articles you chose have relevance and applicability? Be specific.
