Human Rights

0. Take the Quiz: do you know about rights? what's your score?
I got maybe 15/41. I couldn't go on because that website doesn't work so good, I only did 28 out of 41 questions.

1. What are human rights?
Human Rights are the rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.

2. When did human rights start?
This started after the II World War. They have started by Roosevelt.

3. Why were they created?
They were created t
rying to solve or make up all the crap it happened in that war, for example the jewish genocide and they were created also because they didn't want all this happen again.

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

5. Which human right were you not familiar with?
  • No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.

6. Choose one human right and discuss:

I've chosen the 2nd article: Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

Everybody talks about equality, everybody has the same rights blahblahblah but everybody knows NOW it can't be possible. Maybe we are equal in front of the law, but we have a lot of prejudices that stop us when we know somebody is different of us. We are so coward and we don't know how can we handle a situation with someone different, if he or she is going to hurt us or something... and it will be difficult changing this fact. Anyway, we are more tolerant than before, that's sure.


7. Are Humans rights relevant in the world today? why?

Yes, but not so deeply, because everybody tries to do gestures of solidarity, for example with the Third World, because ohhh poor children, they can't eat food, they haven't got water... oh... so sad. Yes, that's so sad. But anybody cares when children in Asia are exploted in some factories sewing on the jeans you are wearing right now, or the girl who will be stoned because in her country girls who drink beer in public are outrageous and they must be dead. Nobody talks about it, we are so hypocrite.
