PREAMBLE

Whereas 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,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in cooperation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, therefore,

The General Assembly,

Proclaims this Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keepin
g this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

3) You are not free and you don’t even know it.
4) It’s hard to fight ideology because ideology is the people.
5) The best ideology is the one you’re not aware of.
6) People are not able to “think outside the box”.
7) Wall Street brokers think about what we like, not what they like.
8) Economy is Human Beings’ basic condition to survive.
9) Something has value only because we all agree on that.
10) The whole economy is based on : “you know I pretend and I know you pretend”.
11) Capitalism works because people like to feel they are special, exclusive and unique.
12) In a society the language shapes reality.
13) Rules were born because human beings in a state of nature live in a costant fear. (human beings are
imperfect animals)
14) You never trust anything / a world without rules.
15) Economy is based on the information about how much (material) we have.

Students watch the video with great attention, and take down a few notes on the content (what is the video about? Is the video divided in different parts? Which ones? What are the main ideas, the message/s the video conveys through images and words?...)
0) Focus on the last part of the video (min 6:20):
1) AGENDA - students select from the video and write down what they consider some extremely striking, meaningful, thought-provoking, inspiring sentences - on a piece of paper. They share their choices with the group and write down all the selected phrases so that the whole group eventually creates a whole new "Text" - which is the Research Community's Text, and the starting point for new reflections, analysis and research work ....
2) DISCOVERING OUR MAIN AREAS OF INTEREST: Students in small groups analyse the points in the Agenda and jot down a couple of QUESTIONS on a point of their choice. They share ONE QUESTION with the whole Class so that at the end of the lesson we have a list of questions on every aspect of our "new text".
3) CLASS DISCUSSION and RESEARCH WORK: Students try to answer all the questions and recognise the main areas of interest. They start a research work on those points.

Let's start with some basic human rights definitions:

noun
A member of the Homo sapiens species; a man, woman or child; a person.

noun
Things to which you are entitled or allowed; freedoms that are guaranteed.

Human Rights: noun
The rights you have simply because you are human.

If you were to ask people in the street, " What are human rights? " you would get many different answers. They would tell you the rights they know about, but very few people know all their rights.

As covered in the definitions above, a right is a freedom of some kind. It is something to which you are entitled by virtue of being human.

Human rights are based on the principle of respect for the individual. Their fundamental assumption is that each person is a moral and rational being who deserves to be treated with dignity. They are called human rights because they are universal. Whereas nations or specialized groups enjoy specific rights that apply only to them, human rights are the rights to which everyone is entitled-no matter who they are or where they live-simply because they are alive.

Yet many people, when asked to name their rights, will list only freedom of speech and belief and perhaps one or two others. There is no question these are important rights, but the full scope of human rights is very broad. They mean choice and opportunity. They mean the freedom to obtain a job, adopt a career, select a partner of one's choice and raise children. They include the right to travel widely and the right to work gainfully without harassment, abuse and threat of arbitrary dismissal. They even embrace the right to leisure.

In ages past, there were no human rights. Then the idea emerged that people should have certain freedoms. And that idea, in the wake of World War II, resulted finally in the document called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the thirty rights to which all people are entitled.
