Rights are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement — i.e. rights are normative rules about what is allowed of people or owed to people, according to some legal system, social convention, or ethical theory. The concept of rights is often fundamental to civilized societies, and it is of vital importance in such disciplines as law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology.

A. Women couldn't vote or hold any public positions. For women in the upper classes their time was divided between social events (political and leisure), shopping and hosting parties with their friends. Lower class women again could not vote or hold public positions and their jobs were confined to the purely domestic realm. Cooking, cleaning, washing etc. Women were treated as possessions though in the upper class it was particularly important for women to hold a certain image of themselves and their families, particularly in the public sphere to avoid bringing shame and nasty gossip upon the house (and husband). To be honest this is just from memory - for more information try the following:

A. Hospitals have strict policies for the release of information. Federal law prohibits a hospital to release any information without the consent of the patient. If the person is under age, then the parents have a right to the information. The only other way to get this information is by subpoena through a court. The right to privacy outweighs any rights of other citizens, and the courts have upheld that right for years now. Unless your need for this Information is greater that the patients right to privacy, then I would say you are SOL.

A. You can report him to the appropriate government agency. As an executive / officer of the company, you have an obligation to the company to report any illegal or questionable business practices. If you ignore it then you may be considered to be taking part in it and be held liable. Consult an employment lawyer before you take any action so you can protect yourself.

Rights

From Wikiquote Jump to: navigation, search

Rights are entitlements or permissions, usually of a legal or moral nature. Rights are of vital importance in the fields of law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology.

Natural Rights

Natural rights are inherent choices found by some philosophers to exist logically for each individual, whether they are protected, or infringed, by society, government, or other social interaction.

  • People are usually surprised to discover that I hate the phrase "constitutional rights." I hate the phrase because it is terribly misleading. Most of the people who say it or hear it have the impression that the Constitution "grants" them their rights. Nothing could be further from the truth. Strictly speaking it is the Bill of Rights that enumerates our rights, but none of our founding documents bestow anything on you at all [...] The government can burn the Constitution and shred the Bill of Rights, but those actions wouldn't have the slightest effect on the rights you've always had.
