Human rights are what makes us human. When we speak of right to life, or the development or the dissent and diversity, we talk about tolerance. Tolerance will ensure all freedoms. Without them, we may be sure, nothing. Human rights are the following: The rights that a person just because he or she is human. • Universal • Interconnection • Indivisible Common myths about human rights: • Human rights are the same as civil rights. • human rights violations occur only in poor countries, foreign countries. • Human rights are concerned that the violations. • Only adults and lawyers understand the importance of human rights. • Human rights are only rights. • Rights and obligations Universal Declaration of Human Rights: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was drafted by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, chaired by then First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations on 56 members of the UN General Assembly 10th December 1948. 10th December is now celebrated worldwide as International Human Rights Day. It now188 States at the United Nations, to educate on accession, to decided their citizens on the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Most of these countries have taken the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in their constitutions. Five main categories of human rights: • Civil Rights • Political rights • Economic rights • Social rights • Cultural rights Human Rights Education: Human rights education is essential for every person in society. Knowing human rights, it is possible to follow the rules and regulations and the rights and obligations. • Produces changes in values and attitudes • Produces changes in behavior • Produces empowerment for social justice • Development of attitudes of solidarity between nations and questions • develop skills and analytical skills • Produces participatory education Globalization: Globalization is the tendency of companies, technologies and philosophies in the world, or to spread the process to achieve this objective. The global economy is sometimes referred to as a whole, characterized as totally networked market, unhampered by time zones or national borders. The spread of McDonald’s restaurants worldwide is an example of globalization, the fact that they adapt their menus to local tastes is an example of globalization (also known as internationalization), a combination of globalization and localization. Globalization and Human Rights: Globalization, the increasing interdependence of states, markets, communications and ideas across borders, is one of the main features of the contemporary world. International norms and institutions for the protection of human rights in more than previously developed in history, while the growing global civil society resources to encourage the citizens oppressed by their own states. But continuing attacks on the dignity of human rights, and the very blurring of boundaries and the rise of transnational actors that the development of a global regime of human rights facilitated new sources can also be violations of human rights. Even if it more generally accepted and articulated the rights of individuals have come to depend increasingly on a wide range of global actors and forces, departments of multinational missions. Globalisation is thus a set of transnational flows of people, production, investment, information, ideas and authority (not new, but stronger and faster). Human rights are a series of claims and rights to dignity, that the existing international regime takes over will be provided (or threatened) by the state. A cosmopolitan and open international system should free people to defend their rights, but many people seem to state repression of both long and denials of new rights in relation to suffer to transnational forces. The essays in this volume show that the challenge of globalization that migration flows inexplicable and open markets are new threats that no state to give do it yourself-based systems, human rights, while new opportunities for information and global institutions are not sufficiently accessible and distorted by the intervention of the persistent state. The impact of globalization on the state of violations of human rights is based, depends on the nature of the state and its history. In democratic countries with weak institutions and elite-controlled economies (Russia, Latin America and Southeast Asia), tend to increase the growth of global markets and economic fluctuations to destabilize the coercive force, but crime, police abuse and corruption. global mobility and flows of general information for the promotion of ethnic mobilization, self-promoting in the states, but may be sensitive more often the product of the abuse of the collective defense of the hegemony of the ruling group. Secondly, the same forces slowly openings made institutional less fragmented party states (like China and Mexico). In much of Africa, globalization has increased the power vacuum, ironically, by two challengers substate empowerment and provision of sporadic intervention that moves the old regime, without need for further consolidation. Some of the worst abuses occurred in all of transnationalization, Hobbes civil wars in Sierra Leone, Angola and Congo. Center for Globalization: The Yale Center for Study of Globalization which uses a variety of ways to explore the globalization and promote the circulation of ideas, basic to all our questions. Organized by the YCSG designed in a way, the mission of the center to connect and enable us to achieve our goals. Activities range from public lectures at international conferences, round tables in multi-disciplinary. YCSG combines the worlds of science and policy by bringing together scientists and experts from outside the university, with faculty and students to interact in workshops, discussions and conferences, and holds to discover at least one major conference each year, an important aspect of globalization. A highly visible role of the Centre are the most important leaders in international affairs to bring on campus, hold a big public speech. The center has a distinguished visitors program to bring Yale for periods up to one year or completed a project together in a work created. Visitors can differentiate into a variety of backgrounds and experiences, researchers and practitioners to former government officials. YCSG has developed and continues to work with multilateral institutions, international organizations and global and individuals who contribute through their work at universities or government actions essential to cultivate the globalization debate. It is necessary to establish such a center in our university. In the modern generation of computer literacy is also very low in our community. It is very sad that our students have no interest in learning computer training. Without computers, it is not possible to share the views of citizens from other countries. Amnesty International: Amnesty International is a worldwide movement that for the overall protection of human rights. It is independent of all governments and neutral in their relation to political groups, ideologies and religious divisions. Amnesty International was founded in 1961 by Peter Benenson, a British lawyer. It was originally his intention to appeal in Britain to receive an amnesty for political prisoners around the world. The working committee for this problem soon became clear that a detailed documentation of this category of prisoners would be required. Gradually they realized that the work should be done on a permanent basis, the number of political prisoners were enormous, and they were in every part of world. Amnesty International Organization for protection of human rights around the world. There are rows of protecting human rights in every country in the world. In Asia, our position is the best compared to other neighboring countries. Role of media in the protection of human rights: Now we live in the modern technological world. It’s easy to find for all kinds of things with a few seconds around the world. Audion TV and Internet users is increasing day by day. It is easy to protect human rights through the mass media. Mass is called as the fourth power. With the help of the mass media, it is easy to motivate the human rights of the citizens of every state in the world. Our daily news paper focuses on human rights. It is true that the U.S. government to have any in the world measures to protect human rights through the mass media. It is very important to the poets, writers and journalists should pay attention to human rights by their poems, books, novels and articles to protect. Completion Swamy Vivekananda said: “We want that education is made with the character, strength of mind is increased, develops the mind, and which one to stand on its own feet.” It is true. It is our government has an obligation to this kind of education for all students enter the country. Through education, we can solve all kinds of problems. Through education, it is easy to motivate people to moral values and human rights. Education provides the knowledge, strength and creativity. Through proper use of technology is to become developed country in the world, to India about the possible futures. “Protecting the rights of man to give birth and safe for everyone.” *****

Globalization, State, Mass Media and Human Rights
Thursday, August 5th, 2010Breaking in to Mass Media Production
Sunday, June 6th, 2010When asked the age old question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” to some of today’s kids, the answers given are much more likely to be “I want to be on TV” or more simply “I want to be famous” rather than the more time-honoured favourites like “doctor”, “teacher” or “fire fighter”.
The impact the media has on our views and on society as a whole has become much more profound in recent years and this is reflected the in the answers of these children. However, despite the strong desire to be part of celebrity culture, very few people will actually end up on the big screen. But the growth of the media industry which has developed from TV, film and magazines to all sorts of web based initiatives means there are jobs to be had in the media sector with many smaller independent companies all chasing a slice of the production pie.
Breaking into film and TV is nothing if not an incredibly daunting task. Small, independent start-up production companies know the steep and slippery slope they must climb to get work from some of the bigger names in the business in the hopes of making a bigger name for themselves. It’s a hard grind, but there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for some of these independent companies – charity.
The Research Centre (TRC), a Glasgow and Manchester-based independent charity launched in 1998 to provide training and industry-related events for the TV industry and partly funded by Channel 4, are offering four Scottish independent TV production companies the chance to make more overseas contacts which has the potential to expand their work exponentially.
News of this certainly has been music to the industry’s ears. The great divide between the big wigs in need of production companies and the up-and-coming small independents is not desired by either party. This program gives the companies the chance to work with industry professionals that would have been close to impossible had it not been for this TRC programme. The programme is now in its third year.
In addition to a trip out to Hollywood, California, the production companies will also receive informative monthly sessions with industry experts who will discuss issues relevant to the industry. This kind of training is invaluable to those who receive it and is also another way to network and make those vital connections that before would have been out of most small companies’ reach.
But what does this say for all of those production companies left in the dark and those outside of the UK? Unfortunately those production companies are ineligible for this star treatment, but the creation and continuance of this programme implies that smaller production companies are being given more attention and it’s possible that other countries may follow the TRG’s lead and start a similar programme.
Small TV production companies everywhere, like Burberry in Australia and thousands of others, must be keeping close attention to these schemes hoping to learn from their counterparts and maybe one day get the same opportunity.
The interest in British formats has grown in recent years which TRG hopes will give their independent companies more of a boost when connections are made with the US market. Hopefully the trend in giving charity the independents a helping hand will catch on and we will see more of these schemes in the future.
