HUMAN RIGHTS


















1. What are human rights?
Human rights are the rights you have simply because you're human.

2. When did human rights start?
They started at 1945

3. Why were they created?
They were created to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person.

4. How many human rights are there?
There are 30 human rights.

5. Which human right were you not familiar with?
I had never heard of the right to play. I don't see any relation to the others, but I think it's fine.

6. Choose one human right and discuss:

- Is it fully respected in your country today?

There are more than one human right no respected in this country, but I decided to choose the right not to discriminate, because I think it's one of the rights that I can see almost every day.

Currently there are many people that are treated differently just because of their gender, religion, culture, social class, and especially racial disriminación. If we are all equal and we all have the same value as people, why so much discrimination?

- Do you know if it has been respected in the past?


Absolutly not. There has always been discrimination in the world, perhaps the reasons have changed, but not the problem.

- Where in the world is this right not complied with?

When I look for examples of publications in violation of this right, I find cases virtually worldwide, not just in a specific country.

7. Are Humans rights relevant in the world today?

They should be relevant, but they aren't enough. Millions of people are mistreated every day, treated as objects without feelings, without rights. Every person deserves dignity, and we all should be at the same level, be equal, regardless of our condition. We're all citizens of the world, we are all people, that's why human rights should be relevant and respected throughout the world, and with this, get the freedom of the individual.
