A. The modern women’s liberation movement
began in the 1960s. It was started by women who
were concerned about their role in the society and
their work. Many women want full equality with
men in every aspect of life. In marriage, they want
husbands and wives to share all the work and responsibilities
of a home and a family. In work they
want women and men to have the same jobs and the
same chances to succeed. They want women to be
paid just as much as men for the same work.
B. Many people agree with the ideas and aims
of women’s liberation. They feel that women
ought to be considered equal to men in every way.
They feel that a woman should be able to decide to
stay at home and raise a family or to stay at home
and not raise a family or to go out and work or to
have a job outside the home and family as well.
Other people are opposed to women’s liberation.
C. United Nation’s Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
country programmes were formulated in consultations
with governments. They include cooperation
with people from all parts of society including government
agencies, non-governmental organizations,
community leaders, teachers, parents and
children. More than 130 countries receive UNICEF
support for primary health care, food, basic education
and water and sanitation programmes.
D. Terrorism is the systematic use of terror or
unpredictable violence against governments, the
public or individuals to achieve a political aim. Terrorism
has been used by political organization, by
nationalistic and ethnic groups, by revolutionaries
and by the armies and secret police of governments
themselves. In the 20th century terrorism became
the trait of a number of political movements, groups or even individuals who were trying to destabilize or
overthrow existing political institutions.
E. Modern terrorism differs from that of the
past because its victims are often innocent people
who are just picked up by chance or who simply
happen to get into terrorist situations. Violent
acts often include kidnappings, assassinations,
hijackings, bombing, etc. The universal availability
of weapons, explosives, complicated devices
along with the global communication revolution
adds to the terrorisms’ capabilities.
F. In 1945, leaders from fifty-one countries
met in San-Francisco and organized the United
Nations. World War II has just ended, millions of
people had died and there was destruction everywhere.
People hoped they could build a future of
world peace with this new organization. Today almost
every country in the world is a member of
the UN. Each country has signed an agreement
that says it will help the UN in its actions or international
peace and human rights to all people.
It also says that all members promise to solve international
problems in a peaceful way, and no
member will use force against another member.
G. Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a
resolution adopted in December 1948 by the United
Nations General Assembly. The objective of the 30-
article declaration is to promote and encourage respect
for human rights and fundamental freedoms.
The declaration proclaims the personal, civil, political,
economic, social and cultural rights of humans
which are limited only by recognition for the rights
and freedoms of others and the requirements of
morality, public order and general welfare.
