I really see a lot of things that happen in our world around today that affects people. The Declaration of Human Rights was established in the United Kingdoms in 1948. “Human rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end of every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind will strive by teaching and education…” (Syllabus 32). There are a lot of problems facing our world that affects many people in all levels. The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights was established in 1948 to set articles in the Declaration for the people of the world in relation to their freedom and security.
