But series of events that violated the human rights happened in our society recently, which force us to think about the practicing of human rights education and it's future. Actually, human rights is the western product, the development of which may trace back to the antiquity, but after the Industrial Revolution, it became the foundation of democracy. The process of human rights connotation development may divide into four generations, they are "the first-generation of citizen and the political rights", "the second-generation of economic, social and cultural rights", "the third-generation of national self-determination and the right to development", and the fourth-generation of human rights that arouses many international discussions. Although it can be taken apart in "generation theory", it still focus on the dignity which human beings are who they are to have, and which expands with changing of times and progress of technology in the contents and dimensions. The human rights education includes the human rights culture cultivation, something like respect, equality, freedom and so on, meanwhile, the human rights education must be the comprehensive impetus and the realization as well. Finally, if the human rights ideology can combine our inherent culture the mental connotation, it will raise the foundation of "the universal human rights principle".
