Human rights

Human rights are the rights that refer to all of the people. Human rights are also rights that you cannot give up on. They belong to every person and should be respected. The rights base on the shared core values. Human rights also find its answer in the law that is supposed to protect them. Human rights are necessary to provide people with their basic needs and guarantee their presence is respected by others. Putting all human beings as equal and securing that state. Those are human rights in the theory and purpose of it. However, Human Rights are not respected everywhere, moreover, even developed countries violate human rights.

I encountered this topic in the past and once again the most surprising thing for me is that Human Rights were legally introduced after World War II. Something that seems so basic in the current world and can't imagine the world without it, was absent just 100 years ago.

I think it is important to remember that violating human rights doesn't come only from institutions. Human rights are constantly being violated by individuals as well. Lately, one of the topics being raised in the public is racism. It started with events in the United States but it's a problem that is present in every society. Other violations can be seen in our everyday life.

How can we with our behavior guarantee or help to guarantee that human rights will be protected? Do you think it's a responsibility only of the legal institutions?

Interesting point I knew that international politics was carried out in a complex and selfish atmosphere. However, upon encountering the MDGs, I learned that the international community is making great efforts to ensure human rights. Among the MDG criticisms, criticism of women's inequality was interesting. The phenomenon of female ineq...

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.

Summary Human rights are the basic right to live as a person. This is an absolute domain. Applicable regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, or location and guaranteed by international law.
