My understanding of Human Rights & Social Justice

In social studies, i managed to increase my understanding of human rights and  social justice.
For example when talking about human rights, We all have the right to the equal enjoyment of civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights.

But there's people who believe they are on a higher ranking than others, along with higher expectations, which could also be unfair on others feelings, and not only emotional well-being, but also physical well-being.
Therefore there are individuals that should be given the same amount of respect, and understanding, despite their culture, and others discrimination towards different religions, and skin colours.
We should be given the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and possibly torture, freedom of opinion and expression, and certainly many more.
As for social justice, it's a development which is alongside economic growth, sustainable environment, but it also ensures fairness to future generations, or people who are living in poor conditions that most likely are life threatening.
We should be given fair treatment, opportunity, success and advancement for all people, but also striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some certain groups.

  1. Your insights are clear, Jireh. What do you think leads to people thinking they are better than others? Is this the real problem?

  2. Jealousy, and others comparing themselves to people who are most likely more fortunate than they are.
