Contractual Rights

Contracts between individuals that state rights in the contract
If you do this, I’ll get this.
Like a painter and a home owner.

Legal Rights

Rights that come from general laws. These do not apply to everybody.
You must be 16 to drive a car.
Laws can be revoked

Civil Rights

Based on philosophical principles derived from the society and the government
Civil rights determine how the government works.
In America our civil liberties are emphasized on liberty rather than equality. People are not guaranteed a certain standard of living.

Human/Intrinsic Rights

Rights guaranteed because we are born humans
These cannot be taken from us
Is there something that we as humans should always be given, or always be entitled to.
Is torture bad everywhere, or is it dependent on the laws of that area

Aristotle

He was the first philosopher that stressed classification; we need to start breaking things up and collecting like with like.
To get a handle on something, we must reduce it to its smallest components.
