HUMAN RIGHTS

‘Human rights’ are the rights of every person without discrimination of any kind, such as religion,language,colour,sex, national or social origin. We all have these rights from the beginning of our lives till the end since we are all human beings .So they are inherent. These rights are the same for all human beings.So they are universal. These rights cannot be divided to different forms related to different people.So they are indivisible too.
‘The Universal Declaration of Human Rights , which was proclaimed in 1948, is a powerful tool that should be keep in mind in realizing our and the others’ rights.The basis of human rights depends on respect for all people with rights to equality between men and women both in the family and society, with rights to education in all levels, with equal rights before law,with rights to work and receive wages that contribute to an adequate standard of living, with rights to freedom of thought,conscience,religion and belief etc. Finally, human rights lay the groundwork for a world of freedom, justice, peace.
So , now it’s time for us to learn about our rights for a better world since we are the future of the world.We should be educated about our rights to respect each other, to develop positive attitudes such as tolerance, honesty, and finally to take responsibility for claiming rights for ourselves and others for overcoming violations of our rights. We should be equipped to respond to the changes around us.We should use our potential to be committed and active citizens. Only by this way, we can live in a world we like!
