HubMob Weekly Topic: Our Rights. Human, civil and animal rights

1. 81

   Princessaposted 13 years ago

   Hello, this month we are having a slight change in our weekly HubMob to try to accommodate our time to be able to continue writing great content hubs but also to give us some extra time to prepare for the holiday season.  That is why in December our weekly topics are going to be "alive" for two weeks in a row, to allow you that extra time to fit everything in. 
   
   This and next week we are going to be writing about a very important subject: Rights.  I mean, human rights, civil rights and even animal rights. 
   
   
   
   
   The third week of January the USA will be celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, to mark the birth and works of King.  Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?" Americans across the country answer that question by coming together on the King Holiday to serve their communities.  In HubPages, Hubbers from around the world will answer this question writing about human, civil and animal rights.  Information is one of the first steps towards solving problems and that is why we have chosen this topic, to inform the world about their rights to help create solutions. 
   
   To join this week's HubMob please follow the steps below:
   
   1.  START YOUR HUB CLICKING THIS LINK.  Choose the "Answer this Question" green button.  Choose the MAKE A HUB ABOUT IT option. 
   
   2. Include the HubMob RSS Feed in your hub: http://hubpages.com/question/90146/hubm … rights?rss
   For more information on how to add the RSS feed to your hub you can click here
   
   4. Add the HubMob graphic http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv19 … rights.jpg to your hub so that everyone who reads it will know that it is part of the official HubMob topic of the week
   
   5. Categorize: Please make sure you categorize your hub according to your chosen topic. 
   
   6. After you publish your Hub, come back to the forum and post a link to your hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why. 
   
   So, What are you doing for others?

      Not giving the homeless therapy or any assistance beyond substance and protection is a paradox. As numbers of homeless get offered help in the form of food, housing, and medicine there is no emotional or mental support given. To some agencies, the phrase “if you give a man a fish you will have fed him for a day, if you teach a man to fish you will have fed him for a lifetime,” applies to the homeless situation as well.

      I have had a disquitening week our cultural leaders have gone all out and trampled over girls' rights and continue to practice female genital mutilation.
      
      The latest was done last week and 120 girls were circumcised in this event. It is an act that activists are reacting to by wearing white bands for the next 10 days a form of protest. Participate if you will.

I thought I had seen it done before, but didn't know if it was officially ok?  Thanks

   great topic idea.  I'll be sure to contribute to this one for sure.  Hey princessa, have you and the hubmob ever thought about doing topics based on hanukah, ramadon, and kwanza by any chance?  I just figuered since those holidays are also around december and we've already covered christmas, then maybe it might be interesting idea to make some hubmob topics about those too.  just suggesting that's all.  I for one would love to do a hanukah hub for the hubmob, as i have just the perfect videos I could use for it.

      Unfortunately we have all of December and January covered with topics.  So it will need to wait until next year, probably october/november to start gaining views for the main dates in December.

       well there are various legally binding documents which once signed, states that the individual is fully aware that what they are going to do is their own responsibility.
       People who seek assisted suicide can often be in perfectly normal states of mind, however they don't wish to continue their lives in a state which they consider to be undesirable. You essentially just made it out that the individual in question doesn't get an opinion on the matter. I personally struggle to reach a final view on the topic, however I have appreciated both sides of the argument in my hub, unlike you have just done there.

             Hahaa- you've got my work patterns down cold, rmcrayne!  Sorry for the delayed response. 
             Cari Jean - ads were disabled on that Hub because some of the content is not quite AdSense friendly and we want to make sure that we adhere perfectly to AdSense standards.  Hubs on pro-life policy tend to be alright, which probably explains why other Hubs you've written on the general subject are OK, however it's a rather fine line, and discussions explicitly centering on abortion aren't in the AdSense Happy Zone of Happiness. 
             Sorry Cari Jean - it's nothing personal against the Hub - it's just a matter of advertisers not really wanting to show up on articles discussing such heated and controversial topics.

       It's not too long at all.  A lot of veteran hubbers who once aimed for an average of 800 to 1200 words are moving in the direction of longer hubs, 1500-2000. 
       
       Sounds like this might also be ideal for "Top of the Class".  Check out the link below before you choose (HubMob vs Top of the Class):

          I never count words.  I just write my piece, and stop when I reach the end.  Sometimes it's very short, sometimes it's very long.  Depends on the topic and the angle I've chosen.

             We do not disagree.  At least in theory.  As it turns out, I'm seldom "very short" except in stature.

    Already submitted it for HubMob before I saw your post rmcrayne, I've been posting a lot of my student papers so perhaps a different one can go for Top of the Class. Do you apply to Top of the Class, like you do for HubMob, or do you just get randomly picked?
    
    Anyway, this is my hub:
    Do Public Figures have Privacy Rights

       SimoneSmith is the POC.  I think you start your hub through the appropriate link, similar to HubMob.  Then staff picks the 6 best submissions each week for vote by the community, similar to HubNuggets.

          Self-Help might be useful when feeling that your rights have been abused.

    I have no idea if I did this right and am probably too late but here is my hub on Vietnam Vets. There is a possiblity it may get flagged due to its content, but I thought it was worth sharing. Please let me know what you think.

    Hope it is not too late for my second contribution to the HubMob. This is an important issue in Australia following a government intervention in 2007. It looks at the progress or lack of progress for living conditions of the indigenous Australian since the intervention.
