A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary words

In today's world, it is crucial to shed light on the prevalent issue of discrimination and the dire consequences it brings. The struggle against oppression and the fight for justice are at the forefront of the battle against social injustice. However, we must also address the insidious impact of censorship, which stifles freedom of expression and limits our ability to expose and confront these issues. In these times, it is imperative to embrace a humanitarian approach, seeking to promote human welfare and ensure the protection of fundamental rights for all. By acknowledging the existence of discrimination, oppression, injustice, censorship, and the need for humanitarian efforts, we can work towards a more equitable and inclusive society.
