READ & LISTEN
Read:
Human rights are things ALL people need and should get no matter who they are or where they live. Human rights are about making sure everyone has basic needs like food, shelter, and that they are safe from harm.
Needs are things you cannot live without. Needs are things everyone should have no matter who they are. Respecting human rights means not taking away someone's basic needs.
Wants are things that you like to have, but don’t need to survive.
Example:
| NEEDS | WANTS |
|---|---|
| clean water | cell phone |
