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.
Others have covered it pretty well. Food, shelter, healthcare would be the highest immediate priorities I would think. We have the means, we just don't have the will or the culture (collectively speaking anyhow).
Once food, water, shelter, clothing, and health care are covered (or alternatively, a universal basic income that covers these needs), I'd like to see us start establishing rights for intelligent animals.
