Having human rights is the belief that everyone should justifiably be treated with dignity and respected as a free individual. In international politics, the question is asked if human rights are either universal or relative; I believe that human rights should be universal. Human rights are universal because we all deserve the same equality and therefore treated equally all around the world. There are some countries and regimes in the world that do not care for others and for their rights as a person. When this happens people should unite to stop them. Human rights need to be universal because they affect everyone. For example, Nazi Germany was doing some very unpleasing and terrible things to Europe in the 1930s and 40s during World War II. Because Germany was acting in such a way the United States stepped in and help resolve the issue. I will discuss some of the central themes of human rights discussed in class by demonstrating how the Nazi Party rose to power and mistreated individuals. The cruel actions that happened under the Third Reich were infringements on human rights and it changed how we handle them now. After World War I Germany was in an economic depression, much like the rest of the world. The German people were out of work and the government did not intervene to help their people. During this time the Germans were still embarrassed of their WWI loss and it was evident throughout Germany. The Germans had very little confidence in their federal
Basic human rights is an ideal that has been discussed for centuries, but yet is and has been a problem all of these years. Because Germany stripped Jews of these rights, the world witnessed one of the biggest tragedies in the world. Germany named this event the Holocaust, a mass extermination of over 5 million Jews. After this bitter time was over, world leaders then came together and developed a document called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to ensure the world would never experience something so horrid ever again; to protect future Jews and the entirety of the human race.
Most people were dissatisfied with the current German government for several reasons. One was that they had surrendered to the Allies when their leaders had been telling them that they were winning World War I. The other was that they felt that the terms of the surrender were excessively harsh. Because they did not know that they were losing when they heard the government was suing for peace, they expected the terms to be equal, not to be completely in favor of the Allies. They also felt that even with the war reparations the government should have been doing more to help them out and not to hyperinflate their currency.
Germany’s economic situation plummeted after World War I because of the reparations the country paid, along with the disarmament of its military and cease on all military production (Garrison). Germany was desperate for help,
After world war one Germany was a part of the great depression, this hit their country hard. In 1933 the people of Germany made Hitler their president/dictator thinking they he was going to help and get rid of all their problems. Hitler told the people of Germany that he
Germany had very low employment rates in this time and it made it even harder to get back to a stable economy. In this time a lot of people had no jobs so this also did not help Germany because companies were going out of business. This directly led to the decline of Germany's economy. When having no business’s running the country as no money coming in and can not send anything out.
In elementary school I heard the phrase like a girl used every day. On the playground it was you run like a girl. I did not understand what like a girl meant at that point I thought it was a compliment. I ran like a girl. I ran fast and far and as long as I can. So thank you. However in middle school I started to realize like a girl is just a way of saying that someone cannot do something. Saying like a girl is a way to make girls feel that they are not as important in the world. Saying like a girl is a way of showing that girls do not have a significant contribution in society.
After World War I, Germany was in bad shape economically, politically, and socially. The Weimar Republic
With the depression on top of the memory of World War I and the humiliation that brought to their country; the Germans weren’t very supportive or confident in their government. which was exactly what Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi party) needed to get their foot in the door as a new possible ruler of Germany. Hitler was an amazing speaker, who could easily convince everyone he was a better option for their country at the time. He promised a better life out of the depression, and that he could turn Germany into the glorious country it really was. He made sure to catch the attention of everyone in the country from the extremely rich to the simple storeowners and everyone in between. The Nazi party had a rapid rise to fame, and Hitler was soon appointed chancellor, many Germans thought they had finally found their new savior who was going to save their country once and for all. But they would all soon find out they had made a huge
According to the United Nations, human rights are defined as “rights inherent to all human beings, whatever their nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. Humans all equally entitled to human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.”
The United Nations currently keeps a list of 30 basic humans rights in a document called “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights”[4] and it does a good job of providing an ideal list of necessary rights. This is too large a list to copy, but the Civic & Citizenship website summarizes each rights.[5] However, this is still far too much. One could easily summarize this down, at least for current purposes, to a couple of them. “Article 1: Everyone is born free and equal in dignity and with rights. Article 2: You should never be discriminated against for any reason. Rights belong to all people, whatever our differences. Article 3:Everyone has the rights to life, liberty and security. Article 5: No‐one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. And finally, Article 9: No‐one shall be subject to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.” This is the easiest way to simplify the basic human rights. It essentially boils down to “All humans are equal, should be treated as such, and should not be punished wrongfully.” Hitler, through his persecution of Jews, broke all of these and
It was the summer of 2014. We had ten days to have the American vacation of a lifetime. This short period of time in my life would define America to my family and I. The rocky structures, colors resembling rust in Utah, the blistering heat of Arizona. The insect ridden Nebraska. The industrial Ilinois. The Great Lakes overlooked by Wisconsin. The rocky mountains covered from base to peak in trees, almost submerged in a vivid green. Now it was time, to take it all on and explore.
Unfortunately, by giving away most of their profit and produce, and paying for a war they lost, Germany wasn’t left in a good position to deal with the global economic down-turn that was the Great Depression. Workers were being underpaid which lead to strikes, causing civil and international uproar. In an attempt to offset social unrest, the German government printed additional currency. Hoping to settle the protesting and meet payment requirements. This solution was impractical and short-lived as it caused hyperinflation and effectively ruined Germany’s
Human rights are rights innate to every single individual, whatever our nationality, where you live, sex, national or ethnic birthplace, color of skin, religion, dialect/language, and many more. We are all similarly qualified for our human rights without segregation. These rights are altogether interrelated, associated and resolute. Widespread human rights are regularly communicated and ensured by law, in the types of treaties, standard global law, general standards and different wellsprings of international. International human rights law sets down commitments of Governments to act in certain routes or to cease from specific acts, keeping in mind the end goal to advance and secure human rights and central flexibilities of people or
The doctrine of human rights were created to protect every single human regardless of race, gender, sex, nationality, sexual orientation and other differences. It is based on human dignity and the belief that no one has the right to take this away from another human being. The doctrine states that every ‘man’ has inalienable rights of equality, but is this true? Are human rights universal? Whether human rights are universal has been debated for decades. There have been individuals and even countries that oppose the idea that human rights are for everybody. This argument shall be investigated in this essay, by: exploring definitions and history on human rights, debating on whether it is universal while providing examples and background
Human rights describe equal rights and freedom for everybody by the fact of being human and without distinction of any kind of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinions. However, many people have always suffered from the lack of them throughout history. In fact, the lack of human rights has a lot of effects on people lives.
