Human Rights and Culture

In this lesson we will explore a very controversial part of the human rights debate, the tension between universalism and relativism. This sounds like big fancy words, and thought it is a complicated discussion, it is an important one to understand. So let's get started!

1. Doesn't our genetic makeup also inform our cultural choices?
2. Don't rights have to be granted by the government we live under?

Universalists believe that your government should be subsumed by their international institutions which will benevolently govern you and impose human rights on you from abroad.

For your first question, Nature and Nurture is different. You can be born a specific way (Nature) but the way that you're nurtured (altered by parents or people you grow up with) isn't the same.
