What are some "new" rights you'd like to see countries commit to?
What are some "new" rights you'd like to see countries commit to?
I know some places are more progressive in this regard. But from the U.S., I'd like to see every person entitled to:
- shelter
- food
- healthcare
- education and higher education
(As an aside, not sure "right" is the best term here, I think of these more as commitments that society would make because we have abundance. One advantage of the word "right" is that a person is justified in expecting it - it's not welfare/ a benefit / a privilege)
You're viewing a single thread.
I think we've reached a point technologically that it's entirely within our grasp to secure the base layer of Maslow's hierarchy of needs for everyone. Air, water, food, shelter, clothing, medical care.
I hadn't thought about air, but seems like it will become a more and more relevant right (and one everyone can claim even in a more traditional sense of a right)
