Abstract

Right is the freedom recognized by the society. It is not innate, but generated by the birth of human and changes with the growth of human ability and the development of society. The history of rights can be divided into two stages: hierarchical privilege and equal human rights. With the development of society, people's "right consciousness" began to awaken, in which human rights are the most basic rights, to which all other rights are attached, so the "right" that deviates from human rights is questionable. Therefore, how can we correctly identify rights and correctly exercise our rights?
