"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

1. What article did you choose?
Article 1
2. What does this article say in your own words?
All people have equal rights, should be treated fairly with respect, and have their own freedom.
3. What rights are described in this article?
*Freedom

*Equal in dignity and rights

4. Why do you find this article important?

It lets everyone know what rights people have.

5. In what ways do you think this right could be broken?
When people don't treat others fairly. When people aren't treated equally. And when people don't have their rights.
6. Create a situation in which the right in this article is broken. How could someone not follow this right? What would happen to act against someone's human right? Describe how the people might feel.

GOOD: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

BROKEN: People have slaves. People are rejected due to gender likes/dislikes. Etc...

7. Do you think it is important to have documents that outline what human rights are? Why?

Yes because people around the world are still being treated unfairly. People are still slaves. And I wouldn't be surprised at the fact that it still continues. The world needs to see what human rights are.
