Why is it wrong to treat violation of rights as only a personal problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it also weakens democratic culture and institutional accountability
Correct answer: A. A rights violation harms the individual directly, but its effects can spread to the whole democratic system. If authorities can ignore one person’s freedom or dignity without answer, others may also become insecure. Repeated violations create fear, discrimination, and a habit of unaccountable power. This weakens democratic culture, because citizens may stop speaking or participating, and it weakens institutions because officials are not held responsible. B is wrong: ignoring violations cannot strengthen rights. C is wrong: violations usually allow power to escape limits. D is wrong: treating a violation as private does not guarantee immediate justice. Memory cue: one rights violation is personal in impact but public in its democratic consequences.
