    WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS

    AND DUTIES?
    “RIGHTS THAT DO NOT FLOR FROM DUTY WELL PERFORMED ARE NOT WORTH HAVING.”
    - MOHANDAS “MAHATMA” GANDHI
     As adolescents, we may have experienced how it feels when
    somebody takes advantage of us our friends. No one among us
    would tolerate acts against our dignity. Hence, we need to make
    sure that we respect other’s rights. This is our responsibility to
    others.
     We recognize that human rights are important for human
    beings to grow more fully as persons and to attain a meaningful
    life with others. We will identify these rights and how we can
    promote and respect other’s rights.
    What are Human Rights?

     A right is a fundamental claim we make on others and the society we live in, so we
    can live with dignity and experience a full human life. Everyone in this world is
    entitled to basic human rights. Respecting the rights of others and imploding our own
    rights protect our human dignity. These human rights ensure that the dignity of
    everyone is duly respected.
     right to life
     right to education
     right to religion
     right to free expressions
     right to property
    The Universal Declaration of Human
    Rights

     The worldwide experience of violence and dehumanizing


    actions during the Second World War prompted the countries
    of the world to gather and create a forum that addressed the
    consequences of this war and formulated means to prevent such
    inhumanities to happen again.
     We call this forum the United Nations (UN). The United
    Nations was founded in 1945 that worked immediately to assert
    the rights of all human beings. Human rights were cited as an
    important and central concern of the UN up to the present
    time.
    The Universal Declaration of Human
    Rights

     In 1948, the newly formed forum came up with a document


    called The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), in
    response to the devastating effects of WW11. the UDHR begins
    with the following words;
    1. “disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in
    barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind;”
    and
    2. Recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and
    inalienable rights of all member of the family is the foundation of
    freedom, justice, and peace in the world.”
    For Every Right, There Is a Corresponding
    Duty or Responsibility

     A duty or responsibility is something that we are obliged to do.


    It is important to fulfill them for the benefit of other people, the
    government , and the society.
     if we focus only on our rights, we may become selfish. It is one
    of the most irresponsible things that we can do as a person. If
    we focus on our duty, our duties will lead to cooperation and
    an establishment of a community where people can grow more
    in happiness and peace.
    For Every Right, There Is a Corresponding
    Duty or Responsibility

     Human rights are meant to ensure that we enjoy our dignity as


    human. It is in the promotion and exercise of human rights that
    we experience our humanity. When we take our duty to protect
    and to respect the rights of others seriously, we contribute to a
    society where everyone can live in peace and each one attains
    his or her full development as a person.
