Human rights are those intrinsic rights that protect human life, ensure freedom, and secure personal liberty. Civil rights protect citizens from oppression by society or from subjugation by societal groups. Citizens’ rights promote quality of life through citizens’ rightful access to the resources of society.The United Nations defines human rights as “those rights which are inherent in our nature and without which we cannot live as human beings. Human rights and fundamental freedoms allow us to fully develop and use our human qualities, our intelligence, our talents and our conscience and to satisfy our spiritual and other needs” (UN, 1987, as cited in Reichert, 2003, p. 4). Because these basic human rights are inherent, human rights cannot be granted nor can they be taken away—they can only be violated. On the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), Eleanor Roosevelt (1958) commented that experiences with universal human rights begin locally—our neighborhoods, schools, places of employment, communities—places where all people want justice and equal opportunities without experiencing discrimination. Essentially, she contended that if we fail to advocate human rights close to home, we will fail in efforts to support human rights for all people throughout the world.Human rights fall within three categories—civil and political rights, social and economic rights, and collective rights (Lightfoot, 2004; Reichert, 2003; Wronka, 2013). Civil and political rights (CP), often referred to as first-generation rights, are defined in the United Nations International covenant on economic, social, and cultural rights (1966). Not unlike the rights guaranteed in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, these civil and political rights are those that restrict the role of government with regard to the political status of societal members. These rights include due process rights, rights to a fair trial, freedom of speech and religion, freedom of assembly, and guarantees against discrimination, slavery, and torture. Social, Cultural, and Economic rights (SEC), or second-generation rights, are quality-of-life rights. Also specified in the United Nations’ International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, these rights relate to an adequate standard of living to ensure health and well-being, including provisions for meeting basic human needs such as food, clothing, housing, medical care, social security, education, and social services. Collective rights, or third-generation rights, relate to solidarity among nations and intergovernmental cooperation on global issues such as environmental protection, social and economic development, humanitarian aid, international security, and peace.Human rights are the fundamental entitlements that are necessary for personal development and human potential. Indeed, “human rights is the bedrock of social justice” (Wronka, 2013, p. 4). Basic human rights are the rights to self-determination and the freedoms of life, liberty, thought, and speech; and to security of person without distinction by birth, sex, sexual orientation, race, color, language, national or social origin, property, intellect, ideology, or political conditions. Actions that deny fundamental entitlements violate human rights. 2. Describe something you learned from this article or class that will help you achieve these career plans or community service goals.Organized Ways of HelpingFrom colonial times, social welfare consisted chiefly of individually oriented assistance to the needy and worthy poor. Local communities cared for their needy and dependent members. By the turn of the century, however, organized ways of helping, precipitated by large-scale immigration, industrialization, and urbanization, began to emerge through the efforts of the Charity Organization Societies and the settlement house movement.Charity Organization Society members worked with individuals to reform the character of the poor, reflecting societal attitudes toward the populations affected by social change. Charity workers offered encouragement through “friendly visiting” and casework services to help individuals and families with their shortcomings. During this same period, settlement house workers were highly visible in the movement to develop social policies to improve working conditions, deal with unemployment and workplace exploitation, redress public health problems, and provide for humane treatment of the mentally ill and criminals. Jane Addams directed her “war on poverty” at addressing the roots of problems through education and social reform.  Arts & Humanities Writing SOCIAL WOR 760 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
