Collective rights
the first document, the Mexican freedom fighters gave their all to see that the future generation lives in an independent state. However, the current generation is still suffering seriously. Justice, therefore, according to the author, is seeing the people living in a decent life with good housing, ample healthcare services, food to eat, good working conditions, land for cultivation and settlement, access to education and a right to freely and democratically participate in choosing leaders of their choice without foreign interference, as well as living in peace. In the second document, girls have been suffering a lot due to low enrollment in schools caused by various factors. After the introduction of cost subsidies and expansion of single-sex primary schools for girls, the initiatives bore fruits and resulted in increased enrollment in schools for girls. The girls have therefore gotten justice after help has come their way, therefore translating to their increased enrollment in schools.
According to the third document, any government that does not give room for criticism, a stable opposition and a free press always end up failing to control natural disasters such as famines and floods. These disasters come as a result of defective policies and lack of criticism that is normally associated with dictatorial governments (Sen, 3). Justice to the people, therefore, is when a government allows for checks and balances to be conducted in their rule for the nation to mitigate the disasters and challenged.

In the second document, the author brings out the collective rights of the girls, which also facilitate the rights of every individual girl. Girls have a right to education, thus calling upon the nation to set in measures of facilitating their access to education. By helping the girls get access to schooling, the move also facilitates a spillover benefit to the boys, whose enrolments also increase simultaneously.
In the third document, Sen points out the collective rights of the citizens, that is, their right to life and freedom of safety from natural disasters. Every citizen deserves to be protected and their lives safeguarded by their government, for a prosperous and productive nation (Sen 3). Failure of a government to properly mitigate the disasters results in the loss of lives due to dictatorship and not passing policies that counter the harm that lurks in the natural calamities. On the flip side, any government that allows for a democratic process to be exercised, and the opposition to hold its ground in criticizing the ruling power, policies that serve the people are passed, therefore making it easy to deal with all adversities and unforeseen
