Topic: Human Rights
Notes: – Human rights are our basic rights that we all inherit.
- The rights are based on shared values like dignity, fairness, equality, respect and independence.
- Human rights are relevant to all of us, not just those who face repression or mistreatment.
- They protect you in many areas of your day-to-day life, including:
- your right to have and express your own opinions
- your right to education
- your right to a private and family life
- your right not to be mistreated or wrongly punished by the state
- All human rights are indivisible and interdependent. This means that one set of rights cannot be enjoyed fully without the other.
Summary: The reading that I’ve done so far, I am able to see why and how our Human Rights are important and how it affects us. Also, it explained how we are all entitled to proper education, express our own thoughts, opinions, and feelings. And then made sure that we know our rights in order to not be punished by the states. I then learned how human rights are indivisible and interdependent, which basically means that a set of rights has to be wanted as much as the other.
