Rights

We human beings have rights to adhere to!
And each right is accompanied by a responsibility 

Rights are 
Fundamental legal, social, 
Or ethical principles of freedom and entitlement
Acting as rules that define what is allowed of or owed to people 
They are inalienable, universal, and inherent to all human beings
Protecting dignity, equality, 
And safety regardless of nationality, status, or belief
Rights are an important concept in law and ethics, 
Especially theories of justice and deontology.

There different types of rights
Which include Natural and Legal rights,
Claim and Liberty rights
 Negative and positive rights 
According to Wikipedia 
The history of social conflicts,
Has often involved attempts to define and redefine rights
 
Responsibilities are
The opportunity or ability to act independently,
And take decisions without any hesitation 
According to Google 
Responsibility refers to the state of being accountable
For one’s actions or obligations
It involves being answerable to someone, 
Often referred to as an addressee
For the consequences of those actions
This concept encompasses various attributes 
Such as reliability, trustworthiness, and accountability

Let us become matured
Together with taking responsibilities 
For every right 
Happy Human Rights Day!
