Human rights awareness among senior secondary school students with regard to gender, stream and neurotic pattern of personality

Human rights are the rights and freedom's to which all human beings are entitled. Proponents of the concept of human rights usually assert that all of us are endowed with certain entitlements merely by reason of being human beings. Human rights are thus conceived in a Universalist and Egalitarian fashion. Such entitlements can exist as shared norms of actual human moralities, as justified moral norms or natural rights supported by strong reasons, or as legal rights either at a national level or within international law. However, there is no consensus as to precise nature of what in particular should or should not be regarded as a human right in any of the preceding senses, and th. abstract concept of human rights has been a subject of intense philosophical debate and criticism. This paper highlights the human rights awareness of senior secondary school students of Himachal Pradesh.
