Compare the rights and duties or responsibilities. 2. Draw an example of human rights violation. 3. Evaluate the corresponding duty for every right. LESSON PROPER: What Are My Rights and My Duties? Students have the right to learn and to be free to express their opinions, feelings and ideas. They have also responsibility to work hard, to do their best, to complete assignments and to respect others’ opinions, feelings and ideas. As much as we assert our rights, there are some of us who forget the responsibility to respect the rights of others. Hence, there is corresponding duty for every right. As human beings, our rights enable us to live a life of dignity. Each one of us has rights. Therefore, as we expect others to respect our rights we have the duty to respect their rights as well. WHAT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS? Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death. A right is a fundamental claim we make on others and the society we live in, so we can live with dignity and experience a full human life. Respecting the rights of others and upholding our own rights protect our human dignity. Human rights and other human rights classified in different categories PERSONAL RIGHTS Right to life This is the most fundamental of all human rights This is the primary condition for all human rights; we cannot practice all the other rights if we are deprived of this right. Right to one’s person This is the right to free movement as long as this will do good and will not harm others This pertains to the right to our own bodies, bodily faculties, and energies. Right to one’s personality This refers to the development of our own individual character. The character we develop will influence the moral choices that we make, so it is important to choose things that will lead us to become the kind of person that God wants us to be.
RELIGIOUS AND MORAL RIGHTS
Right to education This goes beyond our right to study in a school or an institution. It is our parent’s duty to educate and to provide us with moral formation and sound guidance to the best of their ability. Right to conscience This gives us the freedom to make moral decisions and act in accordance with our moral conscience. Right to religion This is our right to relate to a Supreme Being and to freely express and develop this relationship within the teachings and practices of our chosen religion. SOCIAL RIGHTS Right to honor or respect Human dignity requires one to get at least minimum respect from the members of the community. Violations of the right include insults, slander, libel, and other remarks that degrade a person’s dignity. Right to organize Human persons have the right to form associations with common objectives whether they are religious, civic, economic, social, or political. ECONOMIC RIGHTS Right to property Human beings need material things for survival and security. The right to property gives us the right to an exclusive control of our own possessions. That’s why we feel violated when somebody simply opens our bags and tinker with our things without permission. Right to livelihood For us to satisfy our basic needs like food, shelter, clothing, and other necessities of life, we need to have work as a means of earning a living. VOCATION RIGHTS Right to choose one’s way of life This right is something that is very relevant at the present time. We are already thinking of our future career, vocation, or status in life. Right to marriage This is the right to seek a partner in life and enter a union with the chosen person, as long as the act is within the grounds of the law of the state and the dictates of natural law. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) In 1948, the newly formed forum came up with a document called UDHR in response to the devastating effects of WWII. UDHR begins of the following words: 1. “ disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind,” and 2. “Recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world.” For Every Right, There is a Corresponding Duty or Responsibility “Rights imply duties “means that rights and duties go hand in hand. If one hopes to enjoy rights, then he must perform certain duties. Right and duties are two sides of the same coin; every right caries with a duty. For example, if a person has a right to follow any religion, it is his duty to allow others to follow their own religion.
