They are “rights” because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace.
Many people know something about their rights. Generally they know they have the right to food and a safe place to stay. They know they have a right to be paid for the work they do. But there are many other rights.
When human rights are not well known by people, abuses such as discrimination, intolerance, injustice, oppression and slavery can arise."

ReplyDeleteHuman Rights are rights and freedoms owed per person for just being human. And is based on the concept of human rights on recognizing that all members of the human family of the value and inherent dignity they deserve to enjoy certain basic freedoms.The adoption of these freedoms, one can enjoy security and safety, and be able to make decisions that govern his life.

ReplyDeleteI agree with this :Human rights are commonly understood as "inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being." [1] Human rights are thus conceived as universal (applicable everywhere) and egalitarian (the same for everyone). These rights may exist as natural rights or as legal rights, in both national and international law. [2] The doctrine of human rights in international practice, within international law, global and regional institutions, in the policies of states and in the activities of non-governmental organizations, has been a cornerstone of public policy around the world. The idea of human rights [3] states, "if the public discourse of peacetime global society can be said to have a common moral language, it is that of human rights." Despite this, the strong claims made by the doctrine of human rights continue to provoke considerable skepticism and debates about the content, nature and justifications of human rights to this day.
ReplyDeleteWhat are human rights? Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law , general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.
ReplyDeleteHuman rights should be equal for everybody. That's the point of HUMAN! rights. If they're human why should they have limits put on them based of race, or where there from. That's not right.
