What I believe Eleanor meant by universal rights is the rights the every human being is born with, or at least should be born with. Something that shouldn't be thought about, its already there. I believe that universal rights are not impossible however there are people who abuse it and those people should be punished. Because if they're not than the world will be hard to control. The same way we deserve freedom we have that right since __birth__ we need to know to respect everyone and everything around us. Just because one has freedom doesn't mean he's going to go around committing crimes and destroying the environment, because that affects others not just him/her. The reason I believe the UN chose universal and not international is because universal affects involves and concerns all and is present everwhere, pertraining to a whole and international involves two or more nations, pertains to nations, and not the whole world itself. The UDHR makes it clear that the whole world is involved or should be thats why the use of the world unviersal is more affective.
 * ===‍** What do you think Eleanor Roosevelt means by "universal rights"? **===
 * ===‍** Some people feel that universal values or standards of behavior are impossible. What do you think? **===
 * ===‍** Why do you think the UN chose the word universal instead of the word international when naming the UDHR? **===
 * ===‍** Paraphrase the final sentence of the quotation. What does it say about individual responsibility for human rights? What do you think Eleanor Roosevelt means by "concerned citizen action to uphold" rights close to home? **===

//"Without concerned citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world." //

Eleanor Roosevelt is saying that every individual has a responsibility to have universal rights and be respected.

-Our rights need some law to protect it -Universal rights have been misused -the rights we have are a huge part of our relationships and happiness
 * **Read the Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights **
 * **Identify the key reasons for the UDHR presented in the preamble **
