ABSTRACT
A right means that a person or a group is entitled to something, or is entitled to be treated in a particular way. Human Rights include a properly recognised identity and existence, food and shelter, right to work, proper privacy, independence, freedom from arbitrary decision or imprisonment, freedom of choice and freedom of opportunity. Denying those rights, or failing to implement and to protect them, is likely to be considered unprincipled. Human Rights hold that individuals or groups should be treated as valued entities in their own right precisely because they are human beings. Using others for your own purposes is deemed unacceptable if, at the same time, they are denied their own purposes and ambitions.
