The concept of Human Rights is one that is difficult to put into words. Simply put, the idea of human rights vary from culture to culture, therefore, the idea that human rights can be actualized for each person is impossible. The way people of certain races are treated in the U.S. differs from way that they may be treated in an area such as France as stated by Josephine Baker in her “Speech at the March on Washington”. Religious intolerance is also very relevant in many places, as seen in Elie Wiesels Night. Each country has unique cultural and societal normalities reguarding Human Rights, making it impossible for every person to have every one of the 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.

The development of social policies within the United Kingdom is extremely complex. Often involving conflicting factors. Each government must consider human rights and the individual entitlement of members, while also respecting the political and social moral values of the state. Human rights are basic rights and freedoms that every human is entitled to regardless of who they are, where they were born or how they chose to live their life. In the United Kingdom, these rights and freedoms are protected by the Human Right Act 1998 (Equality and human rights commission, 2010).…

I am of the opinion that there is no such thing as universal human rights. After WWII & the signing of the United Nations' Declaration of human rights, even though it was signed by most nations, was not necessarily upheld. While our (as in U.S.) basic rights are wholly taken for granted, abuse in other parts of the world spread like wildfire and living conditions deteriorate. According to globalissues.org, human rights conditions have remained unchanged in some areas, and even torture was on the rise. Even in Western civilization, human rights still remain to be seen. On example would be the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (GLBTQ) community being unable to simply…

Human development is very important in terms of living conditions in different countries. The statement "any society committed to improving the lives of its people must also be committed to full and equal rights for allEis true. The UN considers three factors to calculate human development in a country. These factors cover many aspects of a country, including social development in a country. Income, education, and healthy living are considered to be the most important factors in human development, which help to rid populations of poverty, and support human rights. First, the improvement of lives is directly related to human rights. According to the 2000 UN Human Development Report, a more developed country with more rights today, as opposed to 1970, can expect a newborn to live 10 more years, adult literacy cut in half, and infant mortality rates cut by over 40%. The more freedom and rights a person has, the more opportunity, and better chance for a good standard of living. The International Covenant of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights declared that the "rights to food, health, education and privacy were fundamental building blocks of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.EHumans, then, can realize what they are capable of achieving. However, a less developed country with less freedom, demotivates people and takes away opportunity for one to achieve their best. In addition, national security, criminal justice, and freedom of speech are other factors in human and social development. Without these, again, one cannot achieve their full potential. Second, the UN considers income as is a very important factor in determining human development. Income determines some human rights in countries, and general standards of living. People in poverty are usually denied rights, which include civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. Human rights are directly related to human development. Discrimination against the poor is generally ignoring or denying…
In recent years there has been a surge of interest in social and economic rights and more generally in the intersection of abuses of these entitlements and forced displacement of people. Majorly ignored during the Cold War period and thereafter, today social and economic rights have acquired heightened significance in light of the persistence of systemic poverty in the worldwide economy often leading to violation of other civil and political rights, and consequent displacement of people both within and across the borders. In this context it becomes imperative to examine the current relevance of social and economic rights.…
