First of all, I ought to say human rights are the rights you deserve and have just for being a human. They were created in 1945 by the United Nations, in New York, and there are on a whole 30 of them.
We can tell human rights are being violated in our nowadays society, as, for example, there are many people that are actually slaved, which violates the article 4, some that are not allowed to get into new countires to live, as the article 13 clarifies, and sadly, a lot more.
Looking at all the 30 articles in the list, I've seen one that standed out, the article 18, freedom of Thought:
"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."
This may not be in the human rights list, isn't it? Because it should be obvious that everyone has the right to think and believe in what they want. But the reason why may be there, is because some people disrespects others just for thinking diferent. No one has the same thought on everything. What about religions? There are many kinds, and each person believes in something because of culture, education, or just because it's what they like.
To think different makes you unique, that's why everyone should respect this right, because if everyone thought the same, believed in the same, said the same... Who would be special? Who would stand out and make the difference needed? Who would be the one inventing new thinks, writting new original books, making new unique films, and all that sort of things? No one, because everyone would be exactly the same. Yes WOULD BE. Because our thinkings, opinions and actions make us who we are.
This human right is violated in places with dictatorships, a good example could be North Korea, where anyone in the country can't do or think anything out of the wants of the dictator. For example, there is no freedom of religion, as religions that are not authorisized can't be taken.
