THE ATTITUDE OF RESPECT TO THE RIGHTS OF OTHER CITIZENS

Laws and rules give us rights that other citizens are supposed to respect. However, in
order for us to live amicably, we are also supposed to respect their rights. In short,
every citizen has rights and duties. The attitude of people towards their rights and duties
is essential for economic development. It has often been said that where your rights
end, someone elses begin.
According to the Universal Declaration of human rights, All human beings are born free
and are equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and
should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. The declaration provides for
everyone the right to life, liberty and security of people without discrimination of any kind
with regard to race, colour, sex, language and so on.
However, the big problem in many developing countries is that most people do not
respect the rights of fellow citizens. There is a lot of discrimination with regard sex, race,
language or tribe in many aspects of the economy. This lack of respect is eminent in
employment and education opportunities.

If people in our country respect the rights of others there will be no corruption,
inequality, war and discrimination. If our government respects our rights then they will
never corrupt and give us the right to live what we deserve, what we contribute. If other
companies here in the Philippines dont look on physical, religion and sex, many people
will have jobs. If other students dont bully other students because of their color, religion
and sex many students will be willing to study. If we just respect other peoples right
here in the Philippines our country will be at peace, and our economy will grow. An
example is the war between MILF and the Philippines. After 17 years of peace talks
between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Philippine government, the
Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) was signed at the Malacaang
Palace Phillippine Daily Inquirer. No more war, no more children scampering for
safety, no more evacueesno more poverty, no more fearTama na (Enough), we are
all tired of them, by Secretary Teresita Quintos Deles, presidential adviser on the
peace process. This is the start of everything. If we respect other people rights they will
also do the same.
CONCLUSION
The right to life, the right to freedom of speech and all other basic rights should not be
underrated. Respect these rights and people will do it to you in return. The more people
respect each others rights, the more economic development a country, community or
society will achieve.
Economy building is development in prospect: Making it a reality begins with you.
