9. What are human rights? Why do some states resist a universal international human rights standard?
Fundamental and absolute rights that
every human being possesses, regardless of national laws or cultural traditions. Some of
the fundamental human rights, as expressed
in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, include the right to life, liberty, security, sufficient standard of living, equality under
the law, education, freedom of movement, and
freedom of thought and religion.
Some
argue that beliefs in individual liberty and
equality originated in the West, and are not
shared or valued by other cultures, particularly those with strong communal traditions. Basically, not all countries agree to what human rights should be.
10. Look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights table on page 19. List two rights from the Uni-
versal Declaration that also appear in the amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Then list two that
