Rights are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement. Even though rights, equality, and freedom are hot topics nowadays, there is some confusion.
For instance, The Big Brother confusion stands for both personal space and safety. People are always complaining about being watched all the time, but it's worse when Big Brother is caught sleeping on the job. To be more precise, there are a lot of stories of confusing criminals with innocent people. Policemen' predictions and low-quality CCTV put people under the pressure and through stress for no reason. Is it really the way it should work? I don't think so.
Speaking about human rights, I can't but say about the right to be educated. The shining example might be children from Rwanda. The majority of the population doesn't have electricity, so they're abandoned from the world. However, Trevor Baylis managed to solve this problem, he created the clockwork - the radio, which doesn't depend on the electricity! It became a way of communication, which was so needed. Through this clockwork, children can also be educated and use the right to the fullest.
To be quite honest, some people are more privileged than others, but we're all human with the same rights. Unfortunately, some people needed to fight for freedom, whilst freedom is a given right to everyone, For example, Carribean people even created their own festival celebrating freedom, when slavery became illegal. The Notting Hill Carnival is still held annually in London, it's both profitable and cultural.
Moreover, the 21st century is all about technological breakthroughs and developments. Considering that robots are human-like, some science-fiction writers even give them their own rights. This way Daneel Olivaw, as a robot, had everything that an ordinary detective had in the book called "The Cave of Steel". It's all about robots' rights now too. Analyzing every trend in the world nowadays, it won't be surprising if the idea of robots' rights will actually become a reality one day.
All in all, rights are given us with birth. But nothing is that easy. Sometimes you need to fight, to search for the truth, to create new or even to prove that you deserve it.
