HUMAN RIGHTS

In class we looked at Human Rights as something that should be universal meaning that they should nobody is excluded. We are looking at two texts (1) **Guantanamo Boy by Anna Perera**: this text deals with the harsh treatment of Prisoners of War in the American naval base Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. (2) **The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas**: this film deals with the horrific issues associated with the Second World War, in Specific the Jewish Holocaust and the devastation that affected Europe.
