“Based on the information presented in the video, identify a specific human rights issue and write a thesis statement arguing for or against a particular approach to addressing that issue. Considering the criticisms of the universality of human rights discussed in the video, formulate a thesis statement that takes a position on whether or not human rights should be interpreted and applied differently across cultures. Reflecting on the challenges of enforcing human rights globally, as highlighted in the video, develop a thesis statement that argues for a specific reform or improvement to the current international human rights system.”
