My Opinion isn't (a) Right

It's simple, yet complicated. What are your rights? Who gave them to you? Who can take them away? Why? Who let them do that? How do I effect other's rights? What are my rights?

As a living human being on planet Earth, you have rights. Whether provided at the local level or at the global level, you have rights. Depending on where you are, who you are, and what you do, you may have less or more rights than others. What do they mean to you? They protect you from others and others from you.

When reading about your rights, you realize some are extremely basic, such as a right to live free of fear and danger. Others, such as the right to bare arms, are more complicated and are still interpreted differently today. To understand your role in society, understanding your rights is crucial.

Be aware of other's rights and your own, their relationship to each other and even people you may not know. Laws and regulations help dictate how to approach other's and your own right, but ultimately it's up to you. Exercising your rights is important for you  and everyone around you, so make sure you know what they are and how to use them.
