===The human experience is different for everyone. Living in America, I could turn to the person beside me and guarantee that we haven’t been through the same experiences. However, I do agree all humans go through the same emotions. Emotions of happiness, fear, anger, joyfulness, and sadness run through every human being’s veins. There is a huge difference in the extent of emotions though. Losing a race makes me sad, but an Iranian women who is going to be stoned to death, is also very sad. Life in China is very different compared to life in Africa, just like Americans live differently than Indians. Saying that people share the same experiences would be a stretch.=== ===All over the World people live differently. Not because they choose to but because they have to. All the constitutions I’ve looked at (Mexico, Iran, India, China) claim to treat everyone equally, but that is not the case. In China people are forced to work horribly long days, working on little sleep and empty bellies. China’s government did this because they decided to live a certain way which wasn’t acceptable for the government. In China’s constitution it states ‘Unlawful detention or deprivation or restriction of citizen’s freedom of the person by other means is prohibited’. I wouldn’t know what working all day is like. Especially working on an empty belly and little sleep. I don’t hold that experience, but what I can do is feel for the Chinese people who had to go through it. I feel sadness that they had to go through it, and I’m confident other people feel the same toward the situation. Even though the Chinese people and I don’t share the same human experience, we do share the same emotions toward it.=== ===In America we aren’t separated into ‘leagues of people’, in which we are judged by who we’re born to. I wouldn’t know what it’s like to not be able to touch something or eat something, because of who I am. In India that’s not the case. The Untouchables are the bottom of the food chain and are treated like dirt. In the pictures of Untouchables, they look extremely vengeful and sad. I’ve read stories and articles about what their life is like. I can’t even begin to know what it would be like, living day in and day out, as Untouchables //have// to. I have no idea what it would be like but I can imagine what I’d feel like. I imagine it’d be like a hand pushing down on me and not being able to resist it. It’d be gut wrenching feeling not being able to move anywhere else, being stuck in the same place for the rest of my life. I don’t think an Untouchable and I could have the same experiences when our lives are exceedingly different. Yet, I do think we can feel the same things. === ===People’s lives all around the World are different, whether they want it to be or not. Some people can control the way they live, yet in and some countries people can’t. Not being able live a desirable way could be the government not giving you all rights. Human rights aren’t given in countless countries, which puts a barrier between what human experiences they’ve been through versus a country with rights. Humans may not have the same experiences, but all humans share the same emotions.===
