Practice #2: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
You might be surprised to learn that a Canadian played a very important part in identifying what people really need (and have a right to). The United Nations (UN) was founded in 1945. The following year, Canadian lawyer John Peters Humphrey formed its Human Rights Division. He worked with a small group of people who drew up a list of basic human rights. The United Nations adopted his final version of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948
Practice #3: The Three “L”s
When the UN Declaration speaks of health, well-being, and education, it is highlighting the importance of the Three “L”s: life expectancy, living standard, and literacy. Each one is a measure of quality of like. Life expectancy shows how long a person can expect to live. Long life indicated a society with a strong health care system. Living standard estimated the average purchasing power a person has, based on where they live. Of course, there are actually great differences in person wealth within most countries. The literacy rate is a measure of basic education, expressed as a percentage of people who can read and write.
