WHAT IS HUMAN RIGHTS?
Have you ever thought about what makes you free? Free from your thoughts, expressions, and, of course, your fears. Human
rights are the foundation of our freedom and security. Basically, they are the fundamental rights that you have been entitled to
since birth. The goal is to improve the quality of people's lives by establishing legal boundaries that protect the dignity of all
human beings. It permits us to do what we want without fear of discrimination and serves as our protection since it is protected
by law. This means that if someone has wronged you, you can simply make things right in court or with the assistance of the law.
Human rights are for all of us, regardless of who you are or where you are born, and we all have them equally. It cannot be
bought, privileged, or granted. Having these rights protects us from being disrespected and gives us the freedom to do whatever
we want without breaking any rules. Human rights are fundamental for a just and equitable society to function. Human rights
can be divided into civil rights, political rights, economic rights, social rights, and cultural rights. Civil rights ensure that everyone
has equal access to legal protection and justice. Political rights enable individuals to engage in the democratic process and have
a say in how they are governed. Economic rights ensure that all people have access to basic necessities, including food, shelter,
and healthcare. Social rights ensure that all individuals have equal access to education, work opportunities, and a safe living
environment. Finally, cultural rights protect human expression of diversity and ensure that all cultures are acknowledged and
respected. These different human rights, when combined, lay the groundwork for a fair and just society in which everyone can
thrive. Human rights provide a foundation for individuals, despite race, gender, or social standing, to live their lives with dignity
and respect.

THE WW2
World War II was a devastating global catastrophe that killed many people and took place a long time ago. To this day, the cause
of this conflict is still unknown. Some claimed that World War II began when Japanese carrier-based planes struck Pearl Harbour
on December 7, 1941. Some people also believed in Japan's occupation of Manchuria in 1931 or Hitler's invasion of Poland on
September 1, 1939, was the cause of this. But one thing is for sure: the Second World War had a massive impact not only on
society, but also on the entire world. However, it is largely assumed that the commencement of the conflict was caused by a
combination of reasons such as economic turbulence, political instability, and territorial disputes. The rise of fascist regimes in
Germany, Italy, and Japan also played a significant role in escalating tensions between nations. The war lasted for six years and
resulted in the deaths of over 70 million people. It had a profound impact on the world and led to significant changes in
international relations, including the formation of the United Nations. The Holocaust, which saw the systematic genocide of six
million Jews by Nazi Germany, remains one of the most horrific events in human history and serves as a reminder of the dangers
of intolerance and hate. Despite its devastating consequences, World War II also paved the way for technological advancements
and social progress that continue to shape our world today.
