Right to be heard

One of the trickier rights to explain from my list of fundamental human rights is the right to be heard. Obviously, we can't demand that every single person must listen to billions of different voices.

Maybe I should have worded things differently. When I talk about the right to be heard, I am talking about ensuring that individuals have outlets to share important thoughts.

If you feel that there is a serious problem in this world that needs to be addressed and nobody seems to be addressing it, you should be able to spread the word. This is similar in concept to freedom of speech, but merely preventing censorship on speech is insufficient. If there is no way for a person outside of influence to be heard, many important pieces of information will be lost. It would be far better to have a tolerant and cooperative society than a society that can keep the population ignorant and uninformed.
