All political rights are also human rights.
- CallusedSilk:
- Technically freedom of speech is a political right, not a human right.
Freedom of speech is basically a civil right because it restricts the powers of the government to interfere in people's individual freedom. Political rights, like the right to vote, grant people their prerogative to participate in the political life of their country.
They are both human rights, but from different classes.
As I told you, I can give you my opinion. I said, I think six months to a year seems reasonable to me.
- CallusedSilk:
- I then asked you to define what 'significant' is since it's not a small detail. These kinds of details are the very real things that are keeping people from being seen as full citizens/residents of a country.
But this is only my opinion, not based in any sociological or political fact. I think ultimately this decision should be made by the people, through direct vote. What else do you want to know?
- CallusedSilk:
- Also, the parts of government that aren't interwoven with media aren't usually the parts I see that influence bigotry. However, the parts of media that aren't interwoven with government do regularly promote and show bigotry.
Which parts of the government aren't interwoven with media? And vice-versa?
