PRENUPTIAL ARRANGEMENT ARE A GOOD IDEA

(Discuss)

Don't you agree that people should get married for love? I DO. I don't really see the point in prenuptial arrangements. I consider that society is changing a lot and people get divorced more and more. Although I still believe in eternal love; if you marry someone is because you love that person and you are sure you are made for him/her. 

On one hand I wouldn't do prenuptial arrangements. However for those couples who get married because of the money, the popularity or just because they think is the only way to succeed after time I support them on doing those. I'm sure these marriages don't get any far, and most of them end up with a divorce, It is more secure for them to make sure what will belong to each one. I guess the possetions in marriages like that are very important.

There is a person in this world made for you, look for her/him and get married because you are in love. Otherwise it won't be real.

HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS

When I was reading The Universal Declaration of Human Rights I could realize that most of them are not respected in any part of the world. I wonder why were they invented if people act as if they weren't there. It's so unfair because only rich and "powerful people" can "save" their lifes but people who live in poor countries are condemned to suffer any injustice. 


For example:
Article3.


Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.
Every year in China men kill their daughters because there are overpopulation and only boys can inherit the land of his parents.


Article4.
No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. 
Nowadays it is said that slavery is more common than before.Kevin Bales teacher of Sociology in the University of Roehamptom has made a study and says that 27.000.000 people still live like slavers. 
Obviously the slavery is a different kind from the one before. Those persons don't have any type of salary and they are under the control of someone. They are transported to other countries promising them they will have a better job and salary. But once they arrive to the destination they get worst jobs and they are exploted. 
They can be exploted sexually, forced jobs, organs trade,...

I don't understand how can we live with a relax conscience knowing that in this right moment there are so many people submitted in such conditions. We should do something to change the world but as I said before those who are rich have the power. Still we must manifest in crowds and make them realize that they are wrong and we need to change. 

HUMAN RIGHTS

Human rights are all the faculties, institutions and basic goods that includes every single person, just because he/she is a human. Those are to garantee a decent life without distinction of colour, sex, language, religion, political opinion, nationality... Human rights were invented with the end of World War II. The United Nations vowed with the international community to never again allow atrocities like those happen again.  World leaders decided to complement the UN with a road map to guarantee the rights of every human. The document they considered, and which would later become the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, was taken up in 1946.

There are a total of 30 human rights.

Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay. I knew this Human right because doing Economics we studied the right of a worker. But nowadays this Human Right is not at all respected. 

Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives. I didn't know this one and I am not totally sure if it is respected or not.
