Yes, what are human rights? Do we actually know what they are, what they're all about?
It is an interesting question; we don't think about the definition of the expression, and probably, exactly because people don't truly understand the concept maybe that is why they don't respect them as everybody should!
Let's face it: the Declaration of Human Rights is a baby in the world, and the general mentality is an elder! The equality, the end of slavery, all the freedoms... They are aloud on paper, but the theory is way more pretty and (definitely) easier than practice.
The video was a way of awareness. We need to have in mind that the Human Rights exist and are not respected. But the most outrageous thing is that the same who signed the the mentioned Declaration are often the ones who disrespect them! Lets look at United States vs Islamic countries: did you know that a new law was approved, prohibiting all islamic persons to enter in the country? However, the americans can enter in their countries with rifles and tanks, all for the sake of human rights! And their pockets, of course.
Besides, this same Declaration, in the eyes of law, is even younger than the Declaration itself! And the mentality is the hardest thing to change (how many still think that the global warming is a myth?)...
Maybe one day we will be truly free and equal and by one respected. Maybe one day we start to face that there is nothing, as human beings, that distinct us.
All maybes and ifs, by I'm an utopian. I like to believe that maybes are actually possible.
