Read the excerpt from Eleanor Roosevelt's speech
"The Struggle for Human Rights
Abel
What type of evidence does Roosevelt use to support
the claim that the United Nations must attain
unanimity on the human rights issue?
As I see it, it is not going to be easy to attain
unanimity with respect to our different concepts of
government and human rights. The struggle is bound
to be difficult and one in which we must be firm but
patient. If we adhere faithfully to our principles I think it
is possible for us to maintain freedom and to do so
peacefully and without recourse to force.
The future must see the broadening of human rights
throughout the world People who have glimpsed
freedom will never be content until they have secured
it for themselves. In a truest sense, human rights are
a fundamental object of law and government in a just
society Human rights exist to the degree that they are
respected by people in relations with each other and
by governments in relations with their citizens.
O Roosevelt uses anecdotal evidence by discussing
how other countries have approached human rights
struggles in the past.
Roosevelt uses logical evidence by explaining that,
once people have seen these freedoms, they will
want them for themselves.
Roosevelt usefmanecdotal evidence by sharing
that because human rights make government
work, they must be part of the law.
Roosevelt uses logical evidence by referring to
data about peaceful struggles for human rights
around the world.
