Rights are variously construed as legal, social, or moral freedoms to act or refrain from acting, or entitlements to be acted upon or not acted upon. While the concept is fundamental to civilized societies, there is considerable disagreement about what is meant precisely by the term rights. It has been used by different groups and thinkers for different purposes, with different and sometimes opposing definitions, and the precise definition of the concept, beyond having something to do with normative rules of some sort or another, is controversial. Nevertheless, the concept of rights is of vital importance in such disciplines as law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology.

What are my rights if someone at my company has a confirmed case of swine flu at home?
Q. My company just distributed an email that says that someone in our company has a person in their household has a confirmed case of swine flu. Which means that they have been exposed to it and are bringing it to work with them. They refuse to tell us who it is, which I think is right but shouldn't we have some legal rights in this mater?

Q. For example what rights would an adult living in someone else's home have with no written contract. Just helping out with expenses ( a certain amount per month), if they are a live in boyfriend of two years to the owner?
Asked by hkc - Mon Jun 25 13:07:31 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In most cases, you are considered a month-to-month tenant and your rent is what you pay towards expenses each month, regardless of whether or not you're under contract or if those expenses fluctuate. The owner is considered the landlord, and the person living there is considered a tenant. The owner is subject to the same laws that any other landlord would have to abide by in any circumstance. Your answers will be under the month-to-month tenants section of your state's statutes. It varies significantly from state to state.

Natural Rights

Natural rights are inherent choices found by some philosophers to exist logically for each individual, whether they are protected, or infringed, by society, government, or other social interaction.

  • People are usually surprised to discover that I hate the phrase "constitutional rights." I hate the phrase because it is terribly misleading. Most of the people who say it or hear it have the impression that the Constitution "grants" them their rights. Nothing could be further from the truth. Strictly speaking it is the Bill of Rights that enumerates our rights, but none of our founding documents bestow anything on you at all [...] The government can burn the Constitution and shred the Bill of Rights, but those actions wouldn't have the slightest effect on the rights you've always had.
