    Individual Rights in India has always been a joke. Thanks to the socialist mindset and centuries of cultural dogmatism; based on such beliefs. Beliefs based on altruism, mystical moralities of right and wrong, unquestionable duties towards society etc; we lost to value our own self esteem and self respect. We somehow started having a guilty conscious for having opposite views than these. In India; like any government in the world; regardless of the political party in power, disregards individual rights. To make matters worse the governed individual believes that its okay for the government to take away their rights for higher good and well being of society. In this ignis fatuus they forget that the society consists of individuals. Individuals…

    Individual rights vs. Public Order is a hot topic that has been debated for decades among the people and political parties in America. The side I support the most is public order because I think it is necessary that more action be taken, observing how the crime rates have risen since the era of the civil rights movement (1960s-1970s). During the 1960s, I believe it was imperative for more individual rights to be provided to fellow citizens of the United States, as many minorities were treated…

    I believe that all prisoners should retain all rights like any other ordinary citizen. Even though prisoners do not have full constitutional rights; they are protected by the eighth amendment’s prohibition against “cruel and unusual punishment”. Regardless of the situation and the circumstance that caused them to take the wrong path; they are still people like us and should be treated equally. For example every citizen has the right to a fair trial prior to convection. In my opinion they should…

    position since the day she declared herself as a country. Throughout her 400 years of history, we can see the changes America had gone through.

    privileges of life, liberty and a secure person but as such are subject to the laws of state.

This process has considerably strengthened the probability of a fair trial by…
