What Are Human Rights?
While some dictionaries define the word right as ―a privilege,‖ when used in the context of ―human rights,‖ we
are talking about something more basic.
Every person is entitled to certain fundamental rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called
―human rights‖ rather than a privilege (which can be taken away at someone’s whim).
They are "rights" because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for
your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you.They are also there to help us get along
with each other and live in peace.
Many people know something about their rights. Generally they know they have the right to food and a safe
place to stay.They know they have a right to be paid for the work they do. But there are many other rights.
When human rights are not well known by people, abuses such as discrimination, intolerance, injustice,
oppression and slavery can arise.
Born out of the atrocities and enormous loss of life during World War II, the United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948 to provide a common understanding of what everyone’s
rights are. It forms the basis for a world built on freedom, justice and peace.

Consider an experiment by sociologist Devah Pager, who
sent pairs of experimenters — one black and one white —
to apply for 340 job ads in New York City. She gave them
resumes altered to have identical qualifications. She gave
them scripts so that the applicants said the same things when
handing in their applications. She even dressed them alike.
She found that black applicants got half the call backs that
white applicants got with the same qualifications.

Is there a scientific explanation for
out-of-body experiences?
Imagine feeling as though you are floating above your
body, looking down upon your physical self. Some argue
that such out-of-body experiences (OBEs) prove that the
conscious mind — or even the soul — can leave the body.
Supporting this interpretation, people who have survived a
near-death experience often recall experiencing this out-ofbody sensation — as if their spiritual essence had separated
from their corporeal existence.
However, the scientific explanation for OBEs is more
terrestrial. Neuroscientists and psychologists believe it has to
do with neural processes going wrong. In those who come
close to death, such as cardiac arrest survivors, it is the lack of
oxygen to the brain, and the release of certain neurochemicals
triggered by trauma, that interferes with the sensory functions
that support our usual feelings of embodiment. People’s
recollections of seeing themselves from above — such as
observing surgeons working on their body — could be a form
of hallucination or false memory, as they try to make sense of
their experiences.
Researchers have induced out-of-body states in healthy
volunteers simply by confusing their sensory systems. For
instance, scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm
asked volunteers to wear goggles that showed the perspective
of a camera placed behind them (so that they could see
themselves from behind). When a researcher prodded the
camera with a baton at the same time as prodding the person’s
chest, the volunteer had the sensation that they were floating
behind their physical body. The fact it is possible to induce an
OBE argues against more mystical explanations.

The Mona Lisa was recently moved from her usual gallery in the Salle des États, currently being renovated, to a temporary home in the Galérie Médicis. Visitors to the Louvre who have queued patiently for hours are complaining that museum staff are allowing them less than a minute to view the masterpice. The relocation has created bottlenecks of visitors lining corridors and the Louvre is now advising that only those who have pre-booked will be guaranteed a glimpse of the world’s most famous portrait.
