Human Rights

EQUAL RIGHTS AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

Human rights play a role in everyone’s life but not everyone realizes its involved in every comment you make that includes someone different. Every near discriminatory “joke” you say. It affect, even if it doesn't affect you.

          It means being able to hold hands with the person you love, work where you’re qualified to work without your skin color or sexual orientation being the reason you can’t; it means having the right to be human, making choices and mistakes.

          Every day I hear comments being made about this being “nerd” and other comments about that being retarded. These are an estimated 1 Million words in the English language. What I don’t understand is why these words are chosen to describe something meager or something that lacks quality.

          Humans aren't born racist. We are all born equal. So why it is everyone is bent on believing that one life is less important than another. Why it is person high up in society can get away with something other people can’t?

          The right to be who were destined to be belongs to everyone, not just people who are favored or socially acceptable. My one hope is to see that change. Because we may be different on the outside but we are all humans. We have equal right and yet we have equal opportunities.
