Rights vs Responsibilities


What do you think is the difference between something being a right, compared to being your responsibility?

A Right is something we can do, something where we have the decision to do and where we make up the solution or result. A responsibility is something that has been given or handed to us and where the result or solution is decided by other people, we just play a role.

Example:
It's our right to respect others.
It's our responsibility to clean our rooms.

Agreeing with you miss Gultekin, a right is something that we are aloud to do; something that we deserve to do.

A responsibility is something that we have to do, something that we are obliged to do....

E.G:
-It's our right to receive respect/be treated equally
-It's our responsibility to take care of our property appropriately.

Very spot on Sgultekin :D

I go for rights then responsibilities because rights are the things that we can choose to do! lol
