Human Rights And Justice : Forms And Mechanisms Of Oppression

Social Justices engagement can be accomplished through a variety of different approaches including marches, non-violent resistance, labor unions and community organizing. Some important concepts that go with social justice are restorative justice, socialization and allyship.

Individual Rights are rights that a person has that include the freedom to think, act, work, and behave. Freedom of speech, the right to live, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and many more similar rights are rights that we have as individuals. It all started on December 10, 1948 when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted. Individual Rights provide us with freedom that cannot be interfered by no one including the government. The moral principle of the Individual Rights is “right” which symbolizing the freedom we each have. We hold the freedom of action meaning us as individuals get to do what we desire. Right shows a positive which is what we hold when we have the obligation of doing something.

The norm of society has affected the way people’s rights were distributed throughout the course of America’s history. During America's darker times, people were all diversely treated. If you were unlucky enough to be born as a black child, then your life would have been laid out for you. You were a slave. If you were lucky to be born as a white male, then you were at the top of the food chain. Woman, even if white, were not perceived as equals to men.

The human rights lens provide a means to examine systemic issues and state responsibility. Human rights principles that apply to patient care include the right to the highest attainable of physical and mental health, which covers both positive and negative guarantee in respect of health, as well as civil political rights ranging from the patient's right to be free from torture and inhumane treatment to liberty and security of person. They also focus attention on the right to be free from discrimination in the allocation of resources to health services and in their availability and accessibility. Furthermore, they protect the health and wellbeing of both mother and children.

The fight for human rights has always been marched since the World War II from women rights to certain ethnicity rights. Everyone wants to be treated equally because everyone shares the same emotions and has dreams and ambitions. It is important to empower individuals through values of tolerance, equality and respect for a good society to function. Then why is it different with animals as they also have emotions and purposes? Devaluing animal rights because humans are higher in the hierarchy or the food chain is pompous as animals have emotions and the feeling of pain and pleasure just as humans do. Each year in the Unites States, an estimated number of seventy million innocent animals undergo hurtful and deadly suffering in the name of science by scientific centers, cosmetic companies, household products, and educational institutions. Animal testing is wrong. This is because the action is unethical, ineffective, and unnecessary.

The human rights norms envelop a broad range of aspects of human existence which are regarded as imperative for living life in security, dignity, happiness and accomplishment. Several of these norms pertain to the liberty of a person to act as he desires so long as such actions do not impinge upon the rights and freedoms of others. These freedom related rights are commonly referred to as civil and political rights including freedom of speech and religion, the right to fair trial, and the right to be free from torture and arbitrary arrest amongst others. Then there are other rights which pertain to conditions necessary to meet basic human needs, such as food, shelter, education, health care, and employment. The latter are referred to as social

“We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the foundation of life. Many of the things that we need can wait. The child cannot wait. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and he senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow’, his name is ‘Today’ ”.

What do the following events have in common: an authoritarian government shutting down independent media; sickness among the impoverished due to a lack of clean drinking water; refugees fleeing sectarian violence or religious persecution; gay men and women organizing a campaign to demand the right to marriage and equality; human trafficking of women and children for sexual exploitation; violations of habeas corpus; or a repressive military regime advocating genocidal state policy towards members of an ethnic group? Today, it would be difficult to talk about any of these events without invoking human rights and yet human right were not an issue of international attention until after WWII. The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to human rights even if they enter the class with little formal knowledge about them. Throughout the course we will take different disciplinary approaches to human rights—philosophical, theoretical, legal, literary, health, etc. Human rights can be defined as fundamental rights which all humans are entitled to by being human. These rights can neither be created nor abrogated by any government or any other political authority and at their core they are designed to uphold human dignity. Broadly conceptualized, they include, but are not limited to civil, political, social, economic, and cultural rights. More specifically, some of these rights include the right to life, liberty, education, equality before the law, right of

Civil Liberties are the freedoms that are given to us by our democratic government. Freedoms which include: freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, freedom of assembly, and lastly the right to live. On the other hand, Civil Rights are privileges that include: freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of assembly,  and lastly the right to vote these rights apply to everyone no matter what ethnicity or gender. The main differences between the Civil Liberties and Civil Rights are that Civil liberties are a means of a restriction on government being too powerful and controlling the power of the government if it becomes abusive. Civil Rights are primarily for the citizens, these rights give each citizen a means of protection and freedom, no matter what historical background they came from.

Imagine being in another persons shoes that may not have it as easy as others. Some people do not get the same respect as others just because of the way they look. This is an example of a human rights violation. An human right violation is when a right is being abused in such a way that it effects how some people live their life. It is hard to even think about that this is going on in American today. It is a big problem in today's society, and many are speaking out about it. This human rights violation is the result of racial inequality in America, and many are trying to stop it by protesting, starting movements, and kneeling of the national anthem.
