Human Rights Who Goes Where
Human Rights 1

• Lord of the Flies by William Golding deals with
  human rights in many parts of the story. The
  survivors in the story did not give each other
  all the rights they should have. In the pages
  ahead, there is a brief explanation on what human
  rights are, what discrimination is, and how it
  relates to the book Lord of the Flies.

Human Rights The Various Age Differences
Human Rights Oz 3

• Human Rights is a large broad topic
• Everything seems to relate to itself!
• I will be discussing what Human Rights are
• How they are not applied equally
• And how simple misunderstandings can be one of
  the many reasons why human rights are not equally
  applied

6
What are Human Rights?
Human Rights Oz 4

• Human Rights, or natural rights, are the rights
  given to all humans at birth.
• This means that we have all the rights listed in
  the Constitution and Bill of Rights
• (Life, Liberty, and Happiness)

7
Equality for All?
Human Rights Oz 5

• Different age groups are looked upon differntly
• Discrimination relates to age on many levels
• For example, some people are denied work because
  of a sterotypical classification of their age
  groups (i.e. the teenagers and elderly)
• This subject tends to be very similar to what
  Suzy is going to talk about

8
Misunderstandings
Human Rights Oz 6

• Misunderstandings of when younger people, such as
  toddlers, or even teenagers, can lead to
  violation of human rights
• When someone does not understand what is meant by
  a certain comment or deed, they tend to feel the
  need to protect themselves, lashing out
• This hurts those who were just trying to say that
  they do not feel equal

9
Age Differences Conclusion
Human Rights Oz 7

• Age affects many human rights one should have,
  and it can be extremely frustrating especially
  for teenagers because they have all the
  responsibilities of an adult, just not all the
  same privileges.
• The human rights that should be given to all are
  always not available to some.
• One of the various ways that happens is through
  misunderstandings.

Human Rights Discrimination
Human Rights Polk 10

• Discrimination is something that everyone
  encounters in his/her life time.
• It may be because the color of your skin or the
  clothes you wear on your body
• Discrimination is the topic of this paper. In
  particular, I will be discussing things that
  cause discrimination and how it pertains to human
  rights.

13
Discrimination
Human Rights Polk 11

• There are two types of discrimination, Direct and
  Indirect. The first type is direct, Examples
  are not being given an employment opportunity,
  not being allowed access to a certain place,
  good, or service, being treated less favorably,
  or being subjected to a detriment such as hate
  crimes, being tormented, and stereotyping.
• Indirect is any conduct or practice of
  discriminating against a person even though it
  may appear to be neutral.

14
Conclusion
Human Rights Polk 12

• Human Rights are the rights you are entitled to
  for simply being a human being.
• Laws and courts are designed to protect your
  human rights, although sometimes they fail at
  protecting all of them.
• Today international standards help to ensure
  human rights when national governments do not.

Human Rights Relating Lord of the Flies
Human Rights Shreve 16

• Human Rights are the natural rights that every
  human being is born with, although sometimes they
  are taken away. In my report I will be presenting
  Discrimination and other human rights issues and
  how they all relate to Lord of the Flies.

Related to Lord of the Flies(Discrimination)
Human Rights Shreve 17

• The Survivors were not always fair to each other.
  They would sometimes ignore the littleuns, or
  just include them as another member of a tribe to
  obtain more people and power.
• A clear example of discrimination in the book is
  when Jack said Sucks to the littleuns (Golding
  101)

Relating to Lord of the Flies (Human Rights)
Human Rights Shreve 18

• In the beginning the boys were considerably more
  reasonable in the way they treated each other.
• They decided to be fair and vote for their leader
  (Golding 22)

21
Concluding the Relation to Lord of the Flies
Human Rights Shreve 19

• Now that I have shown how discrimination and
  other human rights issues and all can be related
  to Lord of the Flies, one can begin to see just
  how very broad Stephanie said this topic was.
