You believe that individuals should be free to exercise their inherent rights to life, liberty, and property without undue interference from the government or others.
The "Natural Rights" political ideology is a philosophical concept that asserts that certain rights are inherent by virtue of human nature, endowed by nature, God, or a transcendent source, and that these can be understood universally through human reason. These rights are often viewed as being fundamental to human existence, such as the right to life, liberty, and property.
The concept of natural rights originated during the Enlightenment period, a time of significant intellectual growth and societal change in the 17th and 18th centuries. The idea was heavily influenced…

If freedom of speech is a natural right, where, if at all, should lines be drawn, and who should draw them?
@9TFRYB9 10mos10MO
I think you should be free to say what you want, but not free of any consequences stemming from what you say.
@@1876-Elbert8mos8MO
you are completely correct.
@9TGPFX710mos10MO
All speech is free speech, including harmful speech that may be considered hate speech.
@9JB6N5ZRepublican1yr1Y
If it gets violent and people get hurt that is where they should draw the line. I think law enforcement should draw them.
@9JDF6D21yr1Y
because if it gets violent then that's stretching your rights too far its only freedom of speech not freedom of violent.
@9TG8QPRProgressive10mos10MO
The line in my opinion should be drawn at where speech becomes hurtful or a threat to another person.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you were to witness a rights violation in public, what would compel you to act, and how?
I would be compelled to act because it would be taking away the rights of others who deserve those rights.
@9KTYDXL1yr1Y
I wouldn't know what to do, I'd probably record and report and maybe say something depending on the situation.
@9KTYJY41yr1Y
Another human being getting violated would compel me to act, I would try to prevent it.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you prioritize which 'natural rights' to defend if you couldn't choose them all?
@9L5Y3VY1yr1Y
I would defend the 2nd and use it to protect all other rights
@9L5YR2F1yr1Y
I would chose life because the individual and collective rights of self-defense and self-determination
@9L5Y6NY1yr1Y
I think that the natural right to practice any religion, have a family, and make a living should be prioritized.
@9L5Y63B1yr1Y
Natural rights need defended to the point except if someone becomes a sex offender
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Why do you think it is crucial, or not, to fight for the rights of people you've never met?
@9JF29JPLibertarian1yr1Y
I belive the UN has a very good idea of what exactly human rights are. But they are terrible at enforcing them especially in the middle east.
The UN is generally a very loose organization, that sees itself as this great enforcer of justice and human rights. But the US and the greedy European countries contribute to it's failures, since it rarely gets authorized to move in. And if it does, it barely does a change. Simply because the US and European country's political interests are the main motivator, and not the protection of human lives.
@9CJ6CB61yr1Y
Well that’s mostly because it’s not strong and independent, it’s not a fully global body either. It’s “military” is built off of volunteers, and they’re poorly trained or unruly at best.
@9JJNQ9BRepublican1yr1Y
I'm not sure about the UN but everyone should get the rights we have all agreed to have regardless of who they are or what they've done.
because everyone deserves the name natural rights. it is things you deserve for being brought into this world.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does the idea that some rights are 'natural' affect the way you think about new issues, like climate change or internet privacy?
@9K8Z7NB1yr1Y
In newer times, we are slowly having our rights taken. So fighting for your rights and voting the right person is crucial
@9KGSYCSIndependent1yr1Y
Artificial Intelligence takes control of human intellect and originality and needs to be regulated.
@9KBCS5X1yr1Y
The concept of natural rights can shape perspectives on new issues like climate change or internet privacy, influencing whether individuals prioritize certain rights regardless of circumstances.
@9K8ZGVZ1yr1Y
I think about God given rights. I think that climate change doesn't really have an impact however internet privacy does.
@9K8ZHZX1yr1Y
If rights are natural then we should care for our natural environment.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe you have rights that no government should be able to take from you; what are they?

Yes there are certain rights that are not supposed to be taken from us such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Also the freedom of press, assembly, and privacy.

Why do you think some communities or groups might interpret natural rights differently?
Differences in cultures, environments and upbringings
@9HVN6GMWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
can identify the fundamental liberties that all human beings require to pursue happiness while living in close proximity to others
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think natural rights are truly universal, or do they vary across different societies?
@9HVMZSP2yrs2Y
Natural rights is very universal as it should not be taken away from whichever country we end up, Natural rights is what humanize society giving laws meaning which every human being should decide for themselves and be able to live as a human whether they have to protect themselves if they have to.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you could start a movement to better protect a certain right, which right would it be and what would be your first step?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Should everyone around the world have the same natural rights, or are some rights specific to certain cultures or societies?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you feel when you see natural rights being violated in the news, and do you react?
It makes me sad , because no one should have their natural rights violated its unnecessary an unfair
@9KN3SKR1yr1Y
I disagree with it I don't believe that "Natural Rights" should be violated because that is something that is state in our constitution as Americans.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you address conflicts between your rights and the needs of the environment?

We need to find a healthy balance and better alternatives.
@9LHTFLQLibertarian1yr1Y
while i am a liberaterian i do believe that there needs to be some regulation
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How has your understanding of your own rights influenced the way you view authority figures?
@9KSF57C 1yr1Y
From my understanding I see authority figures as they should be, people of authority. I will follow their orders and I will use my right to free speech to question them but I will not be overtly hostile or demeaning unless they do it first.
@9KSF4N91yr1Y
I go with the people that they and focus mainly on American Citizens
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y

How do differing cultural values impact the interpretation and respect for natural rights?
@9HNYND82yrs2Y
i think that you should respect the laws of other countrys,just as you whould yours
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you define freedom, and can it exist without natural rights?
@9HFTL8Q2yrs2Y
Without the restrictions that our laws and rights put on us now we wouldn't have freedom and it would be extremely dangerous.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever noticed a conflict between legal rights and what you believe to be natural rights?
@9HTD24W2yrs2Y
I believe abortion should be a natural right rather than a legal right because no person should be allowed to tell a women whether or not to have the baby but herself. It should not be forced upon her.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y

How can the protection of rights strengthen community bonds and shared identities?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
