There are only a few changes in human rights in the past and present.  First of all, a person has more freedom and choice. A person in our time has more freedom and can freely express his opinion. His future does not depend on which family he is in. It depends on how much effort he put in to achieve his goal.  As for human rights in the past, everything was very difficult.  His whole life depends mainly on his family and race.  Afro-American had no rights, unlike whites.  People couldn’t express their thoughts freely and were false to be careful with their words, otherwise they could receive punishment. In conclusion, I would like to say that there have been huge changes lately and because of this people have more choice about their future and life in general.
