HUMAN RIGHTS
What is a human right? The answer to this question may vary from person to person, but officially there are 30 human rights. Some of them speak for themselves: slavery is prohibited, we all have the right to a fair trial, and we have the right to express ourselves physically and verbally as we wish. Well, sort of. Running naked down the street is not accepted, of course. Rights to food, shelter and social security also come under human rights. However, with the housing crisis and rising energy prices, the question is how many people can actually enjoy those rights nowadays.
