As citizens, we always think of the promotion of the common good or general welfare.

To become a responsible citizen,

there is a need to promote the common good such as obeying the law, volunteering in the community, paying taxes
honestly, informing himself about important political issues, and respecting the rights of others. He or she is willing to
sacrifice his individual interests for the collective good of the nation. This is called inclusive citizenship in which the
citizens are given a strong feeling that they are a part of the overall society. By making the citizens feel that the
government values their viewpoints, the people are then motivated to participate in the elections, civic participation, and
military service.

Human rights are inalienable rights that protect people’s dignity as human beings. These give them the rights to
choose, to live, to love, to property, to make their living, to practice one’s profession, to vote and to be voted,
among others. These assure people the means to fulfill their basic needs. By guaranteeing life, liberty, equality, and
security, human rights protect people against abuse by those who are more powerful.

Human Dignity is referred to as an individual or group's sense of self-respect and self-worth, physical and psychological
integrity and empowerment. It is stated in the United Nations’ declaration of human rights the recognition of the inherent
dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members in the society.

As cited by Saluba, Dennis J. et. al. (2016), deviance is inevitable. Henceforth, human dignity, rights and common good
should be righteously extended to deviants by the society itself. Even if the person is a deviant and a criminal, he or she
should be respected and treated justly as a human being. Violating his or her rights means treating him or her
inhumanely. Accordingly, the common good is espoused with human rights that provide benefits to the society.

In the principles of Human rights, human dignity and common good advocate the belief in the inherent dignity and worth of
every human being. Human Rights Education is a means towards social change; a tool to transform the theory and
practical applications into everyday social practice. Civil rights deal with standards of judiciary and penal systems.

Political rights deal with specific components of participation in political power.

Economic rights deal with the sphere of human beings working, producing and servicing.

Social rights deal with standard of living and quality of life for all persons, including those not participating in economic
activities.

Cultural rights deal with the cultural sphere of life including ethnic culture, subcultures, arts and science.

All human rights are universal, indivisible and interdependent and interrelated. The international community must treat
human rights globally in a fair and equal manner, on the same footing, and with the same emphasis. While the
significance of national and regional particularities and various historical, cultural and religious backgrounds must be
borne in mind, it is the duty of States, regardless of their political, economic and cultural systems, to promote and
protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms. (The Vienna Declaration and Program of Action (June 1993,
