Honestly, I have never read the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights before beginning this unit. However, it was very useful for me
as a future teacher to know something about human rights. I realized that
people in general are not aware of what human rights are and how the
fulfillment of those rights affects the social development through making a
peaceful and respectful society.
Some people reflect on human rights and realized they
are violated every day. Besides, there is not justice for victims of those
violations. Afterwards the people who reflects ask: What would happen if I
violate human rights? What are Human Rights for? When I reflected upon human
rights I wondered the same questions. However, I reflected deeper and I
wondered: What would happen if we really fulfill Human Rights? How can achieve
this fulfillment?
It is not enough to know the history and the articles
of the U.D.H.R. It is also very important to put into practice the fulfillment
of human rights in order to construct a peaceful society. How can we do that?
Through education. Human rights must be part of students' education, not only
school students, but also among military training institutions because every
single human being must put human rights into practice in order to achieve a
social development.
Now that I have a basic knowledge about human rights,
I believe this is the beginning of my training in order to be a complete
teacher. A teacher that not only teach english, but also educate and inculcate
human rights to students. If all teachers were able to inculcate human rights
to every single student, then could exist a society without impunity,
injustice, resentments, feels of vengeance, etc.
