Manishas Quest for Dignity and Purpose was full of strife and struggle for both her and her family. Not only was her family effected though, the entire community of Bhutanese refugees were effected this experience. Every person in the world is deserves to have their Basic Human Rights. The Universal Declaration of Human rights says there is five core notions of human rights. A lot of the time in Manishas story these core rights were not present for the refugees but not all rights were completely taken. In fact at times the rights were even respected. The first of these rights was Human Dignity. In Manishas Story her right of human dignity was violated when the government began viewing families unequally. “Within a family, different family

Civil and Political rights were violated when the Druk Buddhist majority wanted to “unite Bhutan under the Druk culture, religion and language” (Koerin and Hutchison, 2013). The Nepalis were resistant to this change because they had already established a separate culture and language. They had already established a type of religious diversity in their community as well. Most of the Nepalis were Hindu while the druks practiced Buddhism. These changes lead to the violation of economic, social and cultural rights. As these changes were being influenced, “suddenly Nepalis were denied citizenship, weren’t allowed to speak their language and could no longer get jobs.”(Koerin and Hutchison, 2013).

We both use our religion to refer to for dignity and purpose. We differ in this aspect because although we both have a religion important to us, she is Hindu and I am Christian. Therefore there are differing gods and guidelines. We also both abide by ethical guidelines and know what is right vs. wrong, but the ethical situations we have faced in life have been different changing our outlooks. We also have an interconnectedness of living in America and the pride of being free, but we still have different cultures. This has not always been true though, since she lived in Bhutan and other foreign countries until 2009. So things in our life and environment have typically been very different.
