Why Human Rights Matter: Why Many Governments Think They Don’t

Human Rights are a vital part of today’s world because more and more people are starting to realize to difference in how people are treated. The difference in treatment can be due to the color of one’s skin, their gender, or even their beliefs. The issue of class, like back in the mid-evil ages, can also be still considered something opposing Human Rights today as well. Different classes are formed by the amount of money made, which can again be influence by one’s race, gender, or religion. It use to be expected for most of history that the different classes of people determined the rights a human had, but today all people are started to be seen as equals. If everyone is seen as an equal or the same despite race, gender, or religion then the fight for Human Rights matters quite a deal. Without Human Rights then many people would still be oppressed and with that it could hinder the forward progressed of society. Meaning if someone did not have the right to do something to benefit people this keeps society from moving in the right direction.
In the world today, many governments are all for Human Rights, and this can be seen by looking who is involved with the UN or other organizations similar to it. These governments are willing to fight for people’s Human Rights. Government that are not for Human Rights are ones the will lose power if the people had more rights or believed they deserved more rights. Dictators and similar governments believe that in order to stay in power they need to prevent the people of the country from having rights that could over through them. Many Dictator Governments have been over through because of the people feel miss treated and want a government that will give more rights and freedoms to them. The hierarchy based government in many old countries were phased out and replaced with governments that best fit the people of that country. The hierarchy government was a government of classes and more often than not did not give its entire people the Human Rights that many get today. These governments were phased out or over turned for that very reason and are not really seen today in countries.
