"The United States Attorney General William Barr announced this week that the government has asked Apple to unlock two encrypted iPhones belonging to the perpetrator of last month’s fatal shooting at a naval base in Pensacola, Florida." "Apple encrypts iPhones in such a way that even the company’s own engineers cannot unlock the devices."
Apples specialized technology enables officials and other individuals to obtain and gain access to other's personal information due to the advanced security software they have intact on each apple device. This challenges all by not forbidding them but preventing them from "getting what they want" by simply having a strong sophisticated software.

Go to http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ and read the declaration

1. Choose the FIVE rights that you think are the most important (this can be the ones that are important to you personally, or the ones you think have the biggest impact on humanity)1.Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty 2.Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favorable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment 3. Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay 4. Everyone has the right to a nationality 5. Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state

2. Are there any rights on this list that you think should not be guaranteed human rights? If so, why not? Are there any rights that you think SHOULD be on the list, but aren’t?
Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. I do agree with this 100% but another part of me does not. Those who have done inhuman and cruel things to other individuals for instance which has caused them to lose their life or a family member should not be subjected to obtain liberty and security in my opinion.

3. Find a right on the list that is not guaranteed by the US government. Why do you think this right is not protected by the US government? No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. I believe this is not essentially protected or recognized enough by the US government as much as they claim it is. Capturing and captivating human beings is still a real world issue that is known to continue to be growing and used. Such as human/sex trafficking for example, those are individuals held against their will and put through a business they 99% want no involvement in whatsoever.
