My View on Human Right

I my opinion, human rights aren't an actual thing, the don't exist. I just don't think that they are a valid thing and then you think about it, they don't make sense. Because unless you are really religion (because that is a whole other thing), your idea of human rights might be different then someone else's ideas of human rights. They contradict themselves to much with the positive and negative rights. For example, you can say that you have the right to buy a cat but people have the right to tell you that you can't buy a cat. So you either end up a with a cat or you don't in which case one of the rights is no honored.

Yet again, religion is used as an excuse. In this case religion is used as an excuse because people say the god said that people should not kill or should not steal or any of that kind of stuff. All they are really doing is saying that god said that in order to defend themselves. I am not saying that not killing people is a bad thing but it is just a way that religion is used as an excuse for the well being of people. Again, not that the cause is a bad thing.

After we finished the movie and had a week break, we came back and were asked, what are some examples of human rights being violated in the movie. And even though now I am convinced human right don't exist, I was able to give several examples. Like confining people in certain areas, or lying about the way people died, or killing people for publicly protesting. The list goes on and on but really, those aren't human rights, they are just examples of people doing really cruel things. Like, I would never go and shoot someone, but not because it is a violation of human rights, because it is just not a morally right thing to do.

Also, another reason why human right are illegitament, is that peoples' idea of human rights have changed over the years. This is only assuming that people think human rights are just embedded in yourself when you are born. In the prehistoric era, people then were much more barbaric then people are now. So wouldn't that mean that that way or action follows human rights the most. And that not killing people is not humane? It is kind of confusing what I am saying but it makes sense if you think about it. Because people are changing and their ideas of human rights are changing. So if human rights are real then they are not a specific thing, just notion that people can develop for themselves.
