Human rights are a complex and debated concept, with questions surrounding their natural and universal nature or social and contextual construction. Despite this, there is broad agreement on the most recognized human rights, including civil and political, economic and social, and cultural rights. Studying human rights history and practice can deepen understanding of their importance and develop critical thinking and analytical skills for applying them to real-world issues.
