Human beings like us have been around for about 100,000 years. In the last 7,000 years, we have built a world with big cities, powerful governments, rapid trade, special traditions, and beautiful art. Depending on where we live, we eat different food, wear different clothes, live in different houses, speak different languages, worship different gods, and play different games. These many differences are what make human beings so amazing. But history has shown that these differences can also lead to conflict and war. The United Nations issued a list of rights that belong to every human being. A right is something that everyone deserves to have, just because they are human. The list of rights was called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. (by Shantel Ivits)

The Democratic Party 　 (米国の)民主党;
Republican　(米国の)共和党の人;

***************************
Who will be the next U.S. president? The Democratic Party is having its convention now. On Tuesday night they chose Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to challenge President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Next week, the Republicans will have their convention and choose Trump and Pence. These conventions are usually full of people who come from all over the U.S. to meet, talk politics, and cheer on their favorites, but this year the Democratic convention is completely online because of COVID-19. Even so, we had a chance to listen to people from all over the U.S.talk to the camera. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
