 * As you watch the video below, take notes on what you learn about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:**

media type="custom" key="14125920"


 * ===‍** What do you think Eleanor Roosevelt means by "universal rights"? **===
 * Rights that are applied everywhere in the world no matter the differences. Everyone are allowed to follow those rights wherever they are.


 * ===‍** Some people feel that universal values or standards of behavior are impossible. What do you think? **===
 * The amount of differences in the world cause the values or standard of behaviors to be impossible. People's religion restricts some of those values to other people and their own. They also conflict against the rights itself.


 * ===‍** Why do you think the UN chose the word universal instead of the word international when naming the UDHR? **===
 * They chose the world universal since its applied no matter where you are. People are born with these traits immediately instead of going through legal status


 * ===‍** Paraphrase the final sentence of the quotation. What does it say about individual responsibility for human rights? What do you think Eleanor Roosevelt means by "concerned citizen action to uphold" rights close to home? **===
 * "Without many people concern with them near their home, people must look for progress around the world instead"
 * If the people cannot uphold their rights on a smaller scale, then it would not work at a larger scale
 * Not many people care about individual responsibilities for human rights.
 * Not many people actually take action to protect their rights. They allow others to take it away from them.

Below are the original Declaration of Human Rights and a "Student Friendly" version if you need help:


 * Read the Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
 * **Identify the key reasons for the UDHR presented in the preamble**

[|Declaration of Human Rights]

If that isn't working: [|Another site for UDHR] [|plain language version of Declaration]

I think that Articled 3 is the most mirror in the Bill of Rights since all other Articles are guaranteeing the rights base on human basic needs. The articles actually referrer of giving more important rights to people which relate to peace, personal security, happiness (principle of the Charter).
 * **Read through the UDHR and list what you believe to be the articles that most mirror our Bill of Rights?**


 * **List what you believe are the top ten most important articles of the UDHR**
 * Article 10
 * Article 3
 * Article 7
 * Article 18
 * Article 12
 * Article 14
 * Article 16
 * Article 17
 * Article 19
 * Article 21
 * Article 25





1. What is the appropriate international response to state failure? Attempting to stabilize and reconstruct the state into a better one. However, it is very difficult to do so since that the failed states do not want UN Interventions due violating their sovereignty. Many urge the UN to instead respond to the root of the causes rather than failed states itself.

2. At what point will a state be officially recognized as "failed"? When the state fails to: Govern itself Engage in diplomacy Enact and enforce its own laws

3. What degree of failure merits an international response? When the state cannot provide the most basic public services and the degree of crime within the state such as terrorism, possible W.M.D., and crime rate.
