Lutte contre les discriminations - Vidéo Enseignement moral et civique Les discriminations touchent de nombreux citoyens et portent atteinte à la dignité de la personne telle qu'elle est décrite dans la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme. Elles consistent à refuser des droits et des services en raison d'une seule caractéristique d'un individu comme son sexe, son âge, son poids, sa religion, sa couleur de peau ou son adresse postale. Une personne discriminée peut saisir le Défenseur des droits, qui doit favoriser l'accès de tous au droit et plus largement la justice. Mais la meilleure façon de lutter contre les discriminations, c'est encore l'éducation à la différence et à la diversité des personnes humaines.

Oprah Winfrey's Golden Globes speech: the full text The following is the full text of Oprah Winfrey’s speech as she accepted the Cecil B DeMille Award at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards: In 1964, I was a little girl sitting on the linoleum floor of my mother’s house in Milwaukee watching Anne Bancroft present the Oscar for Best Actor at the 36th Academy Awards. She opened the envelope, and said five words that literally made history: “The winner is Sidney Poitier.” Up to the stage came the most elegant man I had ever seen. I remember his tie was white and, of course, his skin was black. And I’d never seen a black man being celebrated like that.
Tone and Mood in Poetry: OCD by Neil Hilborn Let’s be honest about poetry…students find it boring… groans can be heard near and far when I introduce the unit.. “Uggggggghhhhhh – poetry!? FY FAN! WHY BRIANNE?! Woman Undergoes Bizarre Body Changes In Short Film Barbara is a passionate writer and animal lover who has been professionally blogging for over 10 years and counting. While Anna is preparing for a first date with Henry, a man she has secretly loved for years, everything goes wrong until she discovers the impossible — she’s suddenly able to sculpt her appearance like clay to any shape she desires. Written and directed by Sandy Widyanata,”Plastic” is a popular short film that was released in 2008. It delves into the issue of women’s body image issues and the power of self acceptance. Watching Anna manipulate her face and body in her bathroom — pulling at her nose until it reaches the perfect point, stretching her neck like a giraffe until it’s long and thin — is bizarre, comical and even creepy at times. The more Anna changes her appearance, the more invigorated she feels.
Beloved teen Sam Berns dies at 17 after suffering from rare disease Saturday night could have been a moment for Sam Berns to celebrate -- standing in the middle of Gillette Stadium, flanked by some of his beloved New England Patriots, and no doubt cheered heartily by the nearly 70,000 fans surrounding him. But it wasn't to be. Instead of having Berns as an honorary captain in their NFL playoff with the Indianapolis Colts, the Patriots held a moment of silence for the young man who inspired them and many others as he lived with progeria, which causes premature, accelerated aging. "Do it for Sammy!" one man yelled, piercing the quiet, in video of the ceremony on Boston.com. Berns died Friday evening due to complications from the rare genetic disease, according to the Progeria Research Foundation.
