: Equal Rights And Human Rights

Throughout history, people have had their basic human rights violated. This has been due, to other people's, groups, and the government's ideas, and actions. One of the renown instances of such thing happening is during the colonial times to 1865.In which millions of people had their basic human rights taken from them. In that time period, slavery was used to strip people of their basic human rights due to prejudice, and for the fact, it was a significant part of the American colony's economy.

Over the course of American history, from the time of the American Revolution to today, there have been countless fights for rights waged by different groups of individuals. From racial rights, to gender rights, to rights of opinion, life styles, or religion, every century has been marked by a variety of prejudices, injustices, and inequalities. People who have been deprived of their basic rights as citizens and treated unfairly have to stand up to opposing voices, cruel actions, and humiliation time and again, in order to gain equal rights. Though some fights are lost, at least at first, the fact that some are won show that our country will listen to people’s voices and are willing to change.

The values of social work include service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, the importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. Including these values in one’s social work practice will in most cases create rather successful results. Discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people will be the focus of this paper. The Equality Act will also be discussed because it is a policy being pushed to create federal non-discrimination laws for LGBTQ people. This then poses the question, will the passing of the Equality Act into law decrease discrimination against LGBTQ people? To answer this question the five dimensions of social policy and change will be discussed.

Mother Jones, Cesar Chavez, and Malala Yousafzai all fought for the rights that they believed in. They all were leaders part of a big picture. Although these three individuals used different methods to get their point across, they all had courage to speak out about injustice and improve human rights.

The immense storm clouds swallowed up all of the moons light and rain bucketed down. I was all alone in my home, the television was on but the volume was down so soft I could barely hear a whisper coming from the speakers. The heavy rain and thunder drowned out all sound in the house and lightning snapped every now and again as though a giant photographer was flashing pictures of the world around them. I was curled up on the couch in my warmest pyjamas with countless of blankets upon me but no matter how much I tried to conserve some heat for my freezing body, It was impossible to shake the unusual chill in the house. I could not ignore the feeling of beady eyes following my every move.

Women make many contributions in every aspect of life, for example, raising children to be productive citizens in society, bringing together neighborhoods and communities to live in peace and tranquility, creating a harmonious atmosphere at work, becoming mentors, business owner and the list can go on. Women from all over the world have many things in common although their cultures are very different. One thing that stands out the most that not all women have in common is the chance to enjoy basic legal and human rights. One such woman, Hillary Rodham Clinton, spoke about this on September 5, 1995, in Beijing, China, during the United Nations 4th World Conference on Women. Hillary Clinton holds credibility as First Lady of the United States at the time and an influential activist for women’s rights with vast amounts of experience dealing with women’s issues around the world. She manifests an astounding amount of emotion to elicit empathy from the audience. Ms. Clinton’s argument is simple and rational, successfully advocating the empowerment of women worldwide in regards to violence against women, decision making, poverty and most importantly the equality of women’s rights. Bringing to life the title of her speech “Women’s Rights are Human Rights.”

Human rights are universal rights that we are entitled to. It is a freedom that is guaranteed based on the principle of respect for an individual. As mentioned in the preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, human rights are a “recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all member of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world” (Kent, page 80). When asked what our rights are, we tend to get different answers and meanings. Some people recite the rights that they know; but let’s face it, not everyone knows all of the rights that they truly have. The rights we have consist of many things such as the right of having an adequate food supply. The right to

The fight for women’s rights has overcome more than enough obstacles to succeed in equality between men and women. Women have confirmed they are as strong as men and can work in any workforce as a man. In 1848, if a man and women were married the man was able to take complete control of his wife and she was compelled to promise obedience to her husband. Women were also discredited for their work and would get lower pay in nearly all occupations. The way women were treated in the past stresses the rights they have now and equal treatment between both genders and races. Although some women may feel as if they’re treated different compared to men in some job occupations society has slowly changed their views on women working alongside men.

Women’s right have been something that’s been going on for hundreds of years. Women have been fighting for equal rights since the 1800’s. It took a lot of hard work and determination to get done but finally in 1920 the 19th amendment was ratified and added to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees women the right to vote.

In 1776, when our great nation was founded, future President Thomas Jefferson stated three inalienable rights that every human must be ensured: “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. These three pivotal rights have been brought to attention in many sociopolitical debates throughout our history, such as the women’s suffrage movement in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. These movements, not to mention other similar movements, have inspired serious legislative action; for example, the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery, and the 19th Amendment allowing women to vote. Not only has the law ensured equal protection for all over the years, but in the Constitution, we have been assured of freedom of speech and opinion. In the America of 2017, this poses another serious question: Are Americans adequately respecting each other’s right to an opinion? Despite the law ensuring our equal right to have an opinion or believe a certain ideology, many Americans, both verbally and physically, are attacking this invaluable right that every American deserves.

The subject of human rights is a topic that most countries around the world are familiar with and approach in varied ways. The United States of America has a democratic form of government that receives its power from its people, which is in stark contrast to the theocratic system in Iran whose power comes from a group of cleric’s interpretation of the Quran. The U.S. was founded upon a document known as the Constitution of the U.S. and Bill of Rights, while Iran’s government is wholly set forth by extreme Islamic laws. In each, human rights are approached completely different.

Since the first successful organ transplant was performed, the life-changing procedure that has saved thousands of lives has become a much desired route for those in need of a new organ. The unfortunate scenario in most cases is that someone needs to die in order for another to live. With voluntary organ donors now growing in numbers upon their own death, there is still a high demand for organs that is not being met to the satisfaction of many patients who are on a waiting list. When the subject of human rights is discussed, one ethical question can be asked. Is volunteering to sell an organ by choice or for financial purposes unethical? What if a person wanted to sell their organ and in return was able to get free life insurance or give

A just society would be a society where everyone is given opportunities that would benefit in enhancing the lives of others. Having opportunities for others shows the concern and importance that is implemented in helping others. A society should be a place where everyone has the chance to grow and live a productive life. No one should be obligated to feel inferior or in fear of another race. Everyone should be given all the resources needed in order for the individual to be successful. A just society is about fairness and equal rights for all; no one should be in a position that they are discriminated against or looked upon as less than another race.
