Re: Culture of human rights



[*** Moderator's note: In January and February 2003 a very lively
discussion took place on this list on how to define the term "human rights
culture". A summary of this discussion --prepared by Deanna Gallagher, one
of the list moderators-- can be found at:

I would be very interested to hear from colleagues: are there very brief
ways that you use to describe to groups what exactly a 'culture of rights'
means? Not too jargon-y or long, please; if possible less than 10 words.

I am trying out 'a society where rights are known about and respected.'

What other explanations work for educators out there?
