Classification Of Human Rights

Human rights are great as they ensure that you are protected and safe as a human being. The rights are classified into five bases: civil, political, economic, developmental and social and cultural.

Civil Human liberties

Great advances in these liberties were made in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. During this time great amendments were made. The rights were combined with political liberties and they were collectively known as “liberty oriented human rights.”

They aid in providing, protecting and guaranteeing you liberty against the state and its agencies. According to human right experts these are the first generation of human rights.

Economic Human Liberties

Major strides in these liberties were made in the 20th century. During this time the social and cultural liberties were also strengthened. The rights aid in promotion of economic and social security through economic and social upliftment of the weaker sections of the society.

The liberties are essential for the dignity of personhood. They are also essential for the full and free development of human personality. The cool thing with the rights is that they ensure that there is a minimum of economic welfare.

When the economic, social and cultural rights are combined together they are known as “security oriented human rights.” This is because they collectively provide you with the security that you need in your life. Human right experts refer to them as second generation of human liberties.

Developmental Oriented Human Rights

They were developed in the late 20th century and serve an important role of ensuring that you are able to participate in the developmental activities in the society. The rights include the environmental rights that allow you to enjoy the free gifts of nature such as air, water, food, and natural resources. You should note that you should enjoy the gifts that are free from contamination.

They are known as third generation of human liberties or the Green Rights. They are also known as solidarity rights as their implementation depends on the international cooperation. According to experts, these rights are most important in the developing countries. This is because the countries are still developing and are still trying to gain international order.

Conclusion

This is how human liberties are classified. Remember that no one should violate your rights. If you feel that your rights have been violated you should contact the human rights tribunal in your country or state. It’s also wise that you contact an advisor.…

The Pros and Cons of Indian Media

The role of media has always created a deep impact on the lives of the common man. While on the one hand it has updated people about the situations around the world, there again it has also created panic when half baked news has come out in the open. In India, the growing popularity of the media is having varied effects on the lives of people.

It has been quite a few years now that the Indian media has advanced from newspapers and radio and made its way into the television industry. There are several news channels that run 24×7 and keep people updated about all the incidents not only in the country but also across the world. The greatest benefit of this system is that people sitting in India get updated about the accidents that are occurring in the USA within a matter of minutes. Unlike the old days, there is no need to wait till the next day when the newspapers arrive to be updated about the other side of the world. These channels also have sites on the internet that are updated every minute, so that even those who are on the move can remain up to date via internet on their mobile phones. Say for example the day when the World Trade Center came down, it was a matter of moments that people all over the world became aware of it.

Or even when the trains in London were bombed, the whole world became aware of it, thanks to the media. This immediate update enabled people from across the world to connect with their near and dear ones to ensure their safety.

However, it can not be ignored that where on the one hand immediately knowledge about incidents help people, there again the media can be a menace at times. Media in India at times became repetitive and they keep playing the same news tape over and over again. At time those news items which are not at all important get a lot of hype, sidelining the occurrences that could be of real importance. Indian media paid too much attention to events like the wedding of a star son and a leading heroine, the kiss that a Hollywood star planted on the cheek of a Bollywood heroine, the coming to light of the clandestine relationship of a Pakistan cricketer with a lady , And also the pregnancy of a Hindi film heroine. These incidents are of least importance to the life of a common man and so much importance only takes away the light from those accidents that can really affect people in their daily lives.

Media in India is very strong and it is up to the journalists as to how they bring forth the news from across the world. …
