Are indivituals empowered and do they understand their human rights or when their rights of others are violated. provide five reasons for your analysis and standpoint

Yes, in today's society, individuals are empowered and they do understand their human rights and when these human rights are being stepped upon or violated. My reasons are the following: 

1. The right to freedom of speech - perhaps this is the most eye-opening to most rights, because out of everything, we are sure of one thing - we have the right to say what we want to say. 
2. The presence of lawsuits are available everywhere. This just proves that people fight for their right. 
3. High school teaches teenagers their rights - especially among women. 
4. We have professionals today - lawyers, soldiers, physicians - they made sure to use their right for education. 
5. We are living in a democracy. A democracy that we do not want to let go of and that we are willing to fight for.
