We provide a general review of the meaning and value of development and human rights under the global context of nowadays and actual society. Thereafter, we discuss the importance of the individual, its autonomy, its citizen condition and the role he plays in modern democracies. In the course
of teaching and learning, the core lies in how to think, how to choose and the know-how. By the other hand, it is time to approach the social exclusion, itself an example of the negative side of human rights and development. Thus, we conclude that the existence of human rights claims an ethical commitment,
being responsible for integrate the search of equality, meaning the acceptance of the other, and 'other of the other' in their autonomy and diversity, as individuals with rights. Hence the need to promote human rights education, highlighting that educating for human rights just means teach to other’s rights
and for rights as an instrument of coexistence between free individuals. Learn about individual rights, but also be aware of the value of collective rights.
