Free Write: language and human rights

I think that human rights is being denied by language. the reason i believe this is because in our everyday lives language is working against us by an authority figure.

when it comes to language either spoken or written its working against human rights. When you get a contract for anything there is fine print and it is written small for a reason. you cant read it with the naked eye and by not reading it straight through you have no idea what you are really signing.

I dont have an article but it was brought to my attention by a member in my family a few years back that in a phone's contract you are legally signing that you are aware that you phone can give you cancer. i was stunned when i learned about this and i wanted to confirm the news i was giving. there is indeed a part in the contract, in very small print that says you are aware of the affects the cellular device can have on your health, cancer. You're really not aware but its in there that you are once its signed.

once again if we arent aware of our rights which most of arent the people who do know about it violate the 30th right every second.
