Alesha Dixon goes Avon, Campaign against domestic violence. This week, Alesha Dixon led domestic violence survivors, families of victims and activists on a walk of hope in Westminster. We have to ensure the safety of future generations, educate young people not to mistreat and to reach resourceful women will see the dangers. Alesha also says that we need to teach young women the signs of an abusive relationship and have misconceptions about which is a relationship.
Alcohol and drugs can make a man more violent. Many abusers have been abused as children. The man who beat his wife didn’t stick in conspicuous places because they know they do wrong. It’s believed that the abusers have a mental illness that only do their wives. Many men abuse their partners emotionally, without having to resort to physical violence. The women have to cross the boundaries of feelings in order to get away from her abuser.


OPINION:

I see as society progresses and modernize. I realize the variety of types of ideas, good and bad. This well that there are people who is tired and wants to end the violence. A few years ago there wasn’t help for battered women, but now if there is. It's horrible that a man thinks that women are worthless, women are human beings too. Nobody has to hurt anyone.

HUMAN RIGHTS



Human Rights is a text which explains all the rights that we have just because we are human beings. Nobody can break our rights, because people consider that if somebody violates this right, we are being humiliate and don’t respect us. Currently human rights are more respected by everybody, although there are exceptional events happening.
They were created to promote social evolution, to raise your and freedom. Also to promote the development of friendly international relation. Ships human rights protect our life and physical and psychological development. This is basic for liberty, peace and justice in the world. With this method the people have to go uprising against tyranny and oppression.
Human Rights are universal and we have thirty right. The ONU looks after human rights.
I didn’t know about right 24, not in all works is accomplished. The article 13 about: “Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state, and everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country”; not always is complied. Not it is complied way indirect, because government doesn’t prohibit it but it puts you difficulties. An example of this is in Cuba, because it is a communist state. In other countries the article 13 is fulfilled.

INTERNET AND ITS USERS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER


The internet is a new invention. It exists for all the world, but there isn’t in poor village. I think that Internet can use for communicating with people. Also you know the success in other village or countries, in short time. Internet become in media, that the people use very much.

Actually it is a network that is used for many things, as, to post advertisements to buy cloths, furniture, cars and other things, to search information, to enter in social networks and more.

In Internet you can find tricks, there are many people who get addicted and there are inappropriate pages. This I believe that the negative aspects of Internet.

When I see the negative and positive aspects, I think that it can be used to change the world for the better, but it depends how we use it.
Internet makes our life easy, but I think that it has limits, it doesn’t solve all problems.
