What Are Human Rights?

While some dictionaries define the word right as "a privilege," when used in the context of "human rights," we are talking about something more basic.

Every person is entitled to certain fundamental rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called "human rights" rather than a privilege (which can be taken away at someone’s whim).

They are "rights" because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace.

Many people know something about their rights. Generally they know they have the right to food and a safe place to stay. They know they have a right to be paid for the work they do. But there are many other rights.

When human rights are not well known by people, abuses such as discrimination, intolerance, injustice, oppression and slavery can arise.

Born out of the atrocities and enormous loss of life during World War II, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948 to provide a common understanding of what everyone’s rights are. It forms the basis for a world built on freedom, justice and peace.

Reasons for negative effects of media on teens

Many teens usually spend sleepless nights on social media without the knowledge of their parents.
Insomnia, mood swings, attention deficits at school, and increased obesity are some of the serious
[5] negative effects of social media on teenagers and issues that are arising with kids often addicted to social
networks. With such overwhelming evidence of the negative effects of social media on our children, why
then are many parents not taking more action to protect their children?

There perhaps are three major reasons:

[10]
I) Parents are unaware of the issues involved in the online connections. While kids are plugged in to social
media, only about 40% of parents are involved themselves. Parents may not be aware of their children‘s
"pages" and don‘t fully understand privacy policies, and they don‘t realize what kinds of public posting are
taking place, involving their children.

[15]
II) Parents don‘t want to interfere in their children‘s social lives. Parents want to allow their children to be
as connected as the other kids they associate with, and so they tell themselves that everything is OK.

III) Parents are afraid to take a stand. They don‘t want to push their teens away, and so they allow their
[20] participation in social media to go unchecked rather than make a "big deal" out of it.
The problems this new online society creates are not going away and will continue to grow. Parents must
get off the sidelines and get involved! Be aware of who can see what they post and what is being posted
about them. Talk with them about online safety.
