Ladies and gentlemen, aren’t you sick of seeing children not receiving an education? , aren’t you sick of
being afraid to express your opinion? Aren’t you sick of receiving a salary less than your co-worker?
Well let me ask you this, aren’t you sick of not getting your rights. The problem is that we all around the
world there is always someone not receiving their basic rights. It doesn’t matter where you live how do
you look, from where you are from, no one is getting their rights. In my opinion I think the core of the
problems that we have in this world are because of people not getting their basic rights.

The problem just keeps on getting bigger and I don’t know how a world so developed that it was
capable of sending things to mars but incapable of sending children to schools, how is our world ok with
this when 264 million children don’t have access to an education, people of this world became so selfish
that they forgot who be leading their world in the future. When we spend billions to build casinos to just
send millions and waste money for the goal of having fun when we can build hundreds of schools in
such as Burkina Faso giving the opportunity to thousands of angles to get an education so that they will
be capable of fixing the world that you have destroyed.

Another right that we rarely get is freedom for some of us we don’t even know what freedom means
because some of us never get to experience freedom because there is always something holding us back
from freedom sometimes it’s the messed up system that controls your life what actually everyone fears

the most, the governments which are mostly operated by brainless clowns. We created democracy but
what is the point of a democratic system if you don’t listen to your people or allow them to express their
opinion, feeling or even suggest something, just like how in Jordan you will be taken to jail if you
comment on the king’s work .twitter a platform where you can tweet whatever you want except for
anything related to governments or political systems. Do you that there are even countries that have
literally zero freedom such as North Korea where they have dress codes and specific hair styles. Could
you imagine turning on the TV to only find 2 channels and that it well that how life is like in North
Korea.
I don’t understand why we are programmed to treat girls different than boys because at the end of the
day aren’t we all humans then why are girls mistreated around the world.do you know that
In 2016 women still received the equivalent of 76.5% of men's earnings. Why can’t we have people like
Ibu kartini who fought for education rights for Indonesian girls we need more people like her. Woman
are capable of doing the same things as men so why treat them in a different way?

I cant include every right that we don’t get to experience because I would never finish. We lack human
rights all over the world and it happens with everyone but if we cooperate with one and another and stop
fighting on who have more nuclear weapons maybe human right won’t be a global concern at all.
