Distingishing Human Rights

I believe that the challenge in defining Human Rights is that, many people have different morals and different religious views that might contradict with some of the articles. For example, if someone is homosexual, it is illegal for them to get married. Homosexuals believe they should have the right to get married because they have the right to life, liberty, and security of person. This means they should have the right to marry whoever they wanted to. To one person, they might totally be against it, while on the other hand someone might be totally for it.

As we were going through different senarios during class, I realized that not everything I think, is what they think. When it came to the question if the farmer has the right to kill the chickens on his farm, I was totally for it, while Shane Carr was against it. The difference is that, Shane is a vegetarian and I like to eat meat.

I believe that there will always be conflict to the articles. I believe when one generation leaves, the articles will keep on changing. I think human rights will change base on what each generation thinks of them.
