Hate speech refers to speech or writing that expresses prejudice against a specific group based on their race, religion, or sexual orientation. Growing up in a conservative and unwelcoming country has made me reflect on the issue and wonder if it can be addressed.
Unfortunately, we often underestimate the power of our words and fail to recognize how they can harm others. Many cases of bullying and violations occur because people fail to understand that not everyone is the same. It is a sad truth that those responsible for taking care of us were brought up in toxic environments that did not teach them how to properly interact with others, especially those who are different from them. Consequently, they express their dissatisfaction with hate speech, which is all they know.
As the newer generation, we need to raise awareness and emphasize the wrongness of hate speech. We must strive to make a positive difference and gradually create a new culture that is more inclusive and accepting. Although there will always be those who refuse to change, we have the opportunity to create a better future. We must take responsibility and work towards a world where hate speech is not tolerated.

Human rights are fundamental rights inherent to all individuals, regardless of their gender, race, nationality, religion, language, or any other characteristic. These rights encompass various aspects of life, such as the right to life, liberty, freedom of speech, education, and work. It is crucial that we educate ourselves about human rights, as they are an essential part of our identity and without them, our society would crumble.
As the next generation, we have a responsibility to advocate for human rights. We can use various forms of peaceful expression such as literature, art, music, and even graffiti to raise awareness and ensure that we grow up in an environment that fosters personal growth and development. By doing so, we can create a promising future for ourselves and the next generation, where basic needs such as equality are already a given.
In conclusion, the relationship between young people and human rights is interdependent, as one cannot exist without the other.
