| Abstract | "As Americans many of us take our freedoms for granted. But imagine living in a nation where even your basic human rights were denied. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights created a basic standard for how people should be treated throughout the world--regardless of gender, race, or religion. Getting every country to honor the document, though, can be a difficult task. In many cases poverty, wars, and even natural disasters have complicated the problem. Through compassion and education, though, we can help people suffering from mistreatment receive the basic human rights we all deserve."--Back cover. |
