CAN WE MAKE HUMAN RIGHTS MORE RELEVANT IN THE WORLD TODAY?(WITH THE HELP OF SOCIAL NETWORKS

The human rights are laws related in the behaviour and the respect of people, but not always these rights are accomplish. In some cases this human rights aren't value in some people, for any problems related in his physical or cultural live.

For example in the case of to find a job, some people are more undervalue form other people. In most of business before take on a person, they study his character hu¡is experience in the job, but always they see his physichs and sometimes take on a person of the same country before a person of other country, this problem it's called racism, and this problem it becomes a relaity in our world. I think that we need to value a person for his experience his character or his desires to work and we not value a person for his aspect religion or culture, because we don't know, if a foreigner is most calificate of a person of this country, and sometimes we lose people highly qualified.
