Why do we need rights?

          How can you define "rights"? Rights are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement. Considering this statement, it's clear that rights are that glue, which literally holds up the whole mankind. Imagine the world without rights, with a freedom in a negative sense: crime and chaos. People, as soon as they are born, are provided with a wide range of rights, because it's your defense and a border line.

Deprived of rights, people are basically turning into uncontrolled, violent mass. Justice, responsibilities, boarders equal rights. It may sounds sort of strange or even a bit of crazy but justice is a starting point of healthy social relationships and society itself. If there's justice, men and women are punished honestly and a trial system functions as it suppose to. With rights you may use your chance to be defended, so your life won't be trapped into a prison cell. Basically, rights provide people with an opportunity to live happily and not think about any danger (excluding natural disasters, of course). 

Furthermore, as rights are given to everyone, no one is privileged. Rights are above corruption, because if you have money, you rule the world, but everybody has the same rights. Although, the way people use rights is a different story. 

         However, rights worth nothing if there is division. For instance, women used to have less rights both in the workplace and at home, an era of patriarchate if you will. As well as women, there are a lot more exceptions connected with race, nation, sexuality, physical appearance, social status and e.t.c. Without a doubt, it's nothing but an outrageous situation. For this very reason, people don't want to be silent anymore, they start to get attention and pushing the idea of equality further into masses. That's certainly the best way to go. Where equality and human rights are assessed, based on evidence and the meaningful involvement of communities, stronger relationships will be built and it will be easier to demonstrate fairness, transparency, accessibility and accountability. 

         Why do we need rights? We wouldn’t be able to live without them. They're a structure and a system and people are the filling.
