Human Rights are ideas that are written, spoken or conveyed in order for an individual's protection. These ideas are written down as laws which are enforced throughout the societies by the legislative branch of government and the one that enforces it is executive. The judicial branch is there to interpret these laws. There are ways in which language can be used to promote or to deny human rights.

     The significance of knowing Urdu, national language of Pakistan, had a great impact on my life in terms of manners. Although it was not easy growing up without a mother, I did somehow manage to adopt to a whole new enviroment where the people are educated, civilized and open minded more than the people back home. Unfortunately due to the rate of poverty and ignorance caused by a weak economy and a vulnerable political regime, the people in Pakistan are under constant challenges financially, socially, and economically. My personal experience of how language plays a role in our lives is to constantly learn new things and trying to implement the ones that are applicable and useful in my life. Learning English became compulsory for me in order to adjust myself and be able to communicate to the surroundings around me. Going to high school without knowing English was tough for me. Most of the time I was bullied around because of the fact I didn't speak English nor did I understand anything. I struggled from not knowing a whole sentence in English to becoming fluent in the language. Now that I can communicate in English I feel more confident and comfortable speaking. The gift of language will help me achieve the things I've always dreamed of and progress towards achieving my goals. Everything we learn in our lives is useful and we can teach others from what we have learned in our own lives so far. This experience of teaching others can be influential to yourself in the way you keep reminding yourself of the stuff that you think is important and passing it on to someone else.
