__**The human experience, no matter where you live, is relatively the same**__

 There are many aspects of the human species to make the human experience, but mainly the human experience is similar. Emotions are qualities of humans. Joy, sadness, disgust, fear, anger, and love are all emotions that every human has. Even though emotions are the same that does not make a person’s quality of life and living conditions the same. Places like the US and Mali are very different because the people are given different opportunities. A person in the US is given an education, medicine, food, and a steady income. A person in Mali might have to face more hardships because of the area and lack of supplies. Issues that a person has to face may change the person’s human experience. The human experience can be similar, but they do have differences too.

 A human may face different issues than others depending on where the person is. In a country that has more and is better off, then a person may not have to face major issues. An area that is still developing may have to face more major issues. Human rights are a relatable topic when facing issues that can affect human experiences. Human rights are given to every human when they are born into this world. They are basic rights and freedoms. When human rights are violated it is when a higher power takes them away. Through countries like India, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, and Thailand you can see how human rights may be violated and how some global citizens are trying to fix them. India has a major human rights violation with the Dalits. The Dalits are a part of the caste system that is a part of the religion of Hinduism. The Indian Society is based off of the caste system, which then makes the higher caste discriminatory towards the lower caste like the Dalits. Dalits are forced to work on the jobs that no one wants. They are publicly harassed and embarrassed from the higher castes. The word Dalit itself means “broken people”. From being discriminated against them makes the Dalit people more likely to have sadness. A person is born into a caste, so from the start Dalits don’t have any rights. The Democratic Republic of Congo also has a human rights violation from their recruiting of child soldiers. In the DRC there are about 30,000 children in the army. Children who are in the army are not getting the proper education as they should. They have to witness murder and inappropriate actions at a very young age can have permanent damage. Once a child leaves the army they their families may not let them rejoin their family, which could also cause major sadness. When a child is forced to become a child soldier they lose their human rights. Iran faces women’s rights violations, which are human rights. Women are discriminated against because it is what the people in this area have always done. They still have stonings for women who have committed adultery and honor killings. The fact that Iran still holds stonings and honor killing causes conflicts between countries. Many activists are trying to educate the public about these human rights violations. The women that are tortured feel sadness. Thailand is also a country that human rights violation. Thailand is a country that has a lot of human/sex trafficking. People are sold for sex of forced labor. This is a big industry. People sell their children into the trade for money. People’s right to make their own decisions is taken away. Sadness is a common emotion associated with the human rights violation called human/sex trafficking. The people that are a victim of those violations feel some common human emotions toward the issues. When emotions are involved in human rights then it could make the human experience similar, but with difference.
