.HUMAN NEEDS AND RIGHTS.. About 5700 million people live on the earth today.Between us, we surely have the knowledge and skills to make a world a fit place for all to live in,a world which human kind is at peace with the rest of nature.For this to happen,every human being needs the chance to develop his or her full potential. The world is full of active,able people,young,old,in every country who are making positive contributions to the society.But,sadly,millions of others cannot develop fully because they are denied one or more of their needs and rights,the things are you believe you are entitled to as a member of society. Since the dawn of history,some human beings suffered hunger,poverty,slavery,cruelty, and death to the hands of others.Yet, it can be argued some group of people,such as the African,San Bushmen,have avoided war and developed fair ways of living together that harm nobody. PUTTING THE WRONGS TO RIGHT We have broad range of tools with which to solve our problems>LAWS which set rules for human behavior,TECHNOLOGY which helps get jobs done,THE DEMOCRATIC POLITICS with which we can make decisions together.A great belief with humanitys problem solving led the UNITED NATIONS to proclaim the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS in 1948,with the words ALL MEMBERS OF THE HUMAN FAMILY ARE BORN FREE AND EQUAL DIGNITY AND RIGHTS AND SHOULD ACT TOWARDS EACH OTHER IN THE SPIRIT OF BROTHERHOOD. Despite any progress we may have made in improving the way we treat our fellow human beings,more people across the globe suffer serious deprivation today than ever before.Only when the needs and rights of this people have been properly satisfied will be able to meet the confidence to other challenges facing the world. 1st.
