On the Adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Questions

Throughout her speech, Eleanor Roosevelt outlines various articles with which the Soviets disagree. If the U.N. were to meet today to review those disagreements, do you think the Americans and the Russians would get along any better? Why or why not?
Roosevelt mentions a couple of other significant documents toward the end of her speech: the Magna Carta, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, and the Bill of Rights. What do all these things have in common? Why do you think she makes a point of talking about them?
In line 44, Roosevelt says, "We stand today at the threshold of a great event both in the life of the United Nations and the life of mankind." Do you believe the Universal Declaration of Human Rights lived up to the hype? Why or why not?
How would "On the Adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights" be different if Roosevelt were delivering it today? Or would it be the same? How does that make you feel about the progress we've made since 1948?
How would you characterize the tone of "On the Adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights"? Would Roosevelt's tone be different if she were giving the same speech today? Why or why not?
