The comparison between the Declaration of human rights and the United States rights
The civil rights movements in the United States was a mass movement that was meant to
secure the African Americans right of equal opportunities and access to fundamental rights and
privileges of the U.S citizenship. It also influenced the power of women and student movement
in the 1960s (Calz 450). Primarily, the civil rights movement addressed the areas of education,
discrimination, voting rights, and segregation. Following World War 11, the African Americans
had the right to vote but faced stiff resistance from the local whites (Calz 461). As compared to
the Universal Declaration of Human rights, both movements focus on the right of women and
men regarding nationality, race, and religion. Without limitations, the actions entitle the right of
education with the aim of developing human personality as well as strengthening the
fundamental and human right freedom.
As stated in the Declaration of human rights, everyone is subjected to a limited law to
meet their purpose of recognition and respect for the freedom and rights of achieving the
requirements of public order, morality, and the general welfare of people in the societies. When
we look at the civil movement, the non-whites were denied their fundamental rights, so the
abolition of the slave was purposed to give everyone the right to vote. In return, this would
facilitate the freedom of doing things because of the laws that would be enacted. The U.N human
declaration, in this case, also exercised the right of liberty contrary to the principles and purpose
of the world’s requirements (“The U.N declaration”).
