=Universal Declaration of Human Rights=

1. What are "Universal Human Rights"? The Universal Human Rights are rights that all people have and cannot be violated because of discrimination on any characteristic of people. 2. Which Rights do you believe to be the most important? Why? 3. Which Rights surprised you? Why? 4. Can you think of examples in the world today where these rights are being violated?
 * right to practice your religion freely because people should not be criticized or limited to dong what they worship/believe in
 * to respect the rights of others, the community, and public property is important because by intruding and taking away the rights of other people is unfair and would degrade the status of other human beings
 * Right to enjoy freedom from persecution in other countries: I was surprised of this because if you commit a crime in a different country, aren't you supposed to be charged for that crime there and punished? How come people have the right to avoid that?
 * Right to marry and have a family: I was surprised how this is a right included in the Universal Human rights, yet there are laws for certain states that ban gay marriage. Wouldn't banning gay marriage be taking the right to marry away from someone?
 * Right to marry
 * Right to work with fair salary and reasonable work day hours
 * Right to live in freedom and safety
 * Nobody has the right to treat you as their slave or torture you
