Are human rights and fundamental rights equal?

In: Sociology [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are no such things as "Human" Rights or "Fundamental" Rights. They are "buzz" words and catch-phrases which attempt to lump together a plethora of Utopian ideas that attempt to describe what some believe to be the inalienable RIGHTS that all human beings possess. These "fundamental" "human" rights are not written or codified ANYWHERE, they are simply an idea - an unattainable goal.. . something that is known in the practice of propaganda as a "glittering generality".
