In what different ways does the idea of “rights” find expression in these documents? These documents show us that the idea of “rights” can be expressed in many manners, specifically to these three documents, “The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen” of 1789, from the French people as a National Assembly.

Animal Rights Many people feel that animals have no rights and are here solely for our use.

Chinese Conceptions of “Rights”: From Mencius to Mao—and Now One interpretation is “moral vacuum”. Some western journalists and scholars describe the contemporary protests as symptoms of a pervasive“moral vacuum” in which Chinese supposedly find themselves.

In other word, We...

Pieces of the People’s Puzzle In total there are fifteen laws that count towards the topic of civil rights in the United States, alone. Kenji Yoshino, author of “The New Civil Rights” says that in order for us to turn our current beliefs into a set of ‘new’ civil rights, law must play a role.

Pat Leone Per.2 Throughout history, minorities have been stripped of rights and privileges by the majority because of a sense of superiority from the majority.
