REACTION
I believe that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is very important
nowadays. This conveys the basic commandments of humanity. It tells us how to
treat one another in a just manner and is a catalyst for peace for the world. The
UDHR is tranquil to comprehend thus giving people standard interpretation as to
what each right really means. Given this nature of the UDHR, if implemented
properly, I believe that the world would be a better place to live in.
REFELCTION
This chapter has given me rights with regard the rights I have as a human being.
Before I took this subject, I had little knowledge of UNs Universal Declaration of
Human Rights. Now, that I know about it, I will try to fight for my rights should the
same be deprived upon me. I can use my learning on the rights that I have through
informing people about such. Not all people know about these rights, and I believe
that I co-exist with them, they ought to know such. This is how I will apply the
knowledge of the basic human rights I have as a person.
