At PSEC, every student is guaranteed certain rights, just as all people are guaranteed human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes 30 articles which outline the view of the General Assembly, as stated on Wikipedia. Eleanor Roosevelt was the one who drafted the Declaration. This UDHR gives all human beings freedom, equality, and the right to life and liberty. In history, we learned that the Spaniards had enslaved Natives, but unlike the Spaniards, this UDHR states in Article 4, "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the salve trade shall be prohibited in all their forms." This means that human beings will not be treated as slaves and property, but as an actual person. Also, in the past, a majority of the population were not able to get a good, decent education because they could not afford it. Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says, "Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit." So no matter how much money a family may have, there is still access to a decent education.
