[hr-education] Re: Culture of human rights

Dear Rebecca Dudley, 

I would rather define the culture of human rights as a way of life to
respect human dignity.

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?
