Abstract
This presentation attempts to answer the question: What factors contribute to current human rights conditions in nation-states? My research analyzes the impact of multiple factors on contemporary human rights conditions around the world. This question is significant and relevant in the 21st century. Although science and technology have greatly improved the living conditions for many, others suffer flagrant human rights abuses every day, even in countries that have signed international human rights treaties. The data for this presentation will come from secondary scholarly sources and the databases of nongovernmental organizations, which I will use to generate an original quantitative analysis of the factors that correlate with human rights conditions. Independent variables such as the literacy rate, economic growth rate, life expectancy, and poverty will be examined.
