Isrolk_isrolk_My name is Roshan Azizov. I am a secondary school teacher. I live in Azerbaijan.  I make educational videos about the importance of the protection of democracy and human rights . This is one of those videos and merely intended to convey a message about the importance of the promotion and protection of democracy and human rights. Illiteracy , ignorance and  poverty  are the main factors which lead to the violation of human rights and weakened democracy.  I have for several years been making educational videos with my pupils about the struggle carried out with the aim of protecting democracy and human rights. Enlightenment of young people  in the field of  human rights protection is very important and essential for the promotion and protection of democracy. As a democracy-loving secularist teacher I have always tried to educate, particularly the young generations about the dangers of bigotry, extreme radical nationalism, hatred, racism and religious discrimination with the help of educational videos posted on the Internet. I mostly try to make educational videos that are  focused exclusively on teaching democratic values and principles of religious and inter-ethnic tolerance. Illiterate and ignorant young people  are especially vulnerable to terrorist recruitment. When people are poorly informed about their rights, they much more likely to fall victim to discrimination, unfair treatment, intolerance and human rights violations.  Due to this reason , young people must be well informed and enlightened about their democratic rights and values starting at an early age , so that they could make right choices for themselves. I also actively try to use my videos as a tool for promoting human rights and religious tolerance. As it is seen in this video, a person playing the role of a radical fanatic who has been recruited by a terrorist group is threatening  people because of their unprecedented respect for democratic values and human rights. But instead of being afraid, they refuse to give up the struggle for democracy and human rights. They courageously call on everyone to show respect for the rights of people of different religions and ethnic backgrounds insisting that all human beings including Muslims, Christians , Jews and non-believers must live in peace. The persons  in the video say that they will always protect democracy and human rights no matter what happens.  I made this educational video  about the eternal struggle between democratic and non-democratic forces in order to open people's eyes and prevent  young people from falling under the sway of radicals and fanatics who have no respect for the rule of law. But first of all I would like to say that I made this video with the aim of discouraging the young generation from being recruited by  criminals or terrorist groups.Our relationships with other people should be based on equality and mutual respect. People must treat each other with love, respect and compassion. People must respect each other`s moral, sacred and religious values. People of different religions must learn to live side by side in peace. We must be brave enough to stand up for love, respect, democracy and human rights.(for educational purpose)
