  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)
.Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.

.All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

.No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

.No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.


.Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others.


  1. 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? Everything on there is good and I can’t think of anything at the moment that should fit on there.
  2. 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? I'm not sure of any that aren’t in us but if I had to guess I would say that you can only seek asylum in us if you ask for permission and certain circumstances are met.
