Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.
WATCH THESE PERSONAL DEFINITIONS OF FREEDOM & LIBERTY from around the world (as they relate to the language of Article 1). Do you agree with this definition? How much is this rhetoric a reality? In Denmark? In the world as a whole? In the time of the Joads?
Your TASK:
Using Chapter 15 and the character of Mae as your point of departure, find the
FACE(S) of HUMANITY in The Grapes of Wrath. Refer to all 30 Articles of the UDHR as needed. Were the human rights of the Joads and other families like them violated (based on what you know through Chapter 15)?
