That could be anything, it's extremely subjective (probably the reason it's a paper...) and can, but not limited to, include capital punishment [life], gun control [life], eminent domain [property], abortion [life], and whatever. What should be inherently a human right that is restricted by society for the good of a community, etc.

You could talk about how a clean and healthy environment is a human right. However, because of the common law system and lack of jurisprudence, the only way to enforce and protect the environment judicially is through private property laws.

Trying to protect something like the environment by using private laws will never work, and it doesn't help that for the most part any harm done is at a public scale and inactionable. The attorney general has in many cases refused to take action against large firms meaning that injunctions and damages can never be delivered.

Just make up a "Human Right" from your imagination -- like the Right to Eat, or the Right to Life, or the Right to Work... You've heard of the Right to Pursue Happiness, yes? Maybe you like "Freedom of Speech" or you hate it - 'cause it allows porn or your neighbor saying a bad word... doesn't matter.

Search it on the internet - you'll find lots of hits.
Pick a side - write your paper about it. I like dom's idea the best here but if you want "simple" you'd be better served to stay away from it. The Right to Privacy is a highly neglected issue -- and you might want to think about the Patriot Act as you discuss it. Contrast works so you could write about "The Right to Leisure" vs. "The Right to Work". Are there differences you can find out about these essential rights if you live in one country or another?

Sounds like you're being asked for a "exegesis" or "research paper" -- so include some quotes. You should be able to fluff up a 3 page paper pretty easy.

~Granps
You could pick "Child Rights" -or- "Elimination of Torture Worldwide" -or- "Women's Rights" -or- "Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination" -or- "The Right to Breath Clean Air" -or- "The Right to Defend Yourself" <---- the list goes on and on. Find something interesting, then find something you didn't know, and write about that.

Social rights? An apt question, I was thinking in terms of "human rights'.

In the broadest sense social rights are formed by contracts - agreements between men. My confusion comes when we introduce governmental authority and implied consent. We often trade our "natural rights" (to do anything we please) by remaining within groups. For example, we agree to not discharge firearms by not moving out of the city and away from prohibitions, we agree to requirements to perform work by remaining employed and etc.

My best guess for a definition of "social rights" comes from multiple internet searches: "adequate food, clothing, housing, education, healthcare and other requirements of dignity, equality and security of low income persons and other disadvantaged groups". Such views are ultimately founded on the expectation that everyone has the right to equality before the law and to the equal protection of the law without discrimination because of race, national or ethnic origin, creed, religion, age or gender.

Surely your instructor must have defined this for you prior to assignment? Trying to be helpful here but please discount what I am saying as I would have to confess ignorance regarding the specifics. I did find a link that looks like it could help: Thesaurus of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights

I'll politely bow out of this conversation though - the topic used to be "simple". I've learned about "Human Rights" and "Civil Rights" and and other various subjects but draw a blank on specific examples (as you seem to do also) regarding "Social Rights", hence I'm only guessing here.

Maybe there is somebody more informed who can help? In the meantime I'll keep looking.

[EDIT (afterthoughts)]:
Idea 1: I probably should ask what grade your in but found one you are free to "steal":
Suggested subject title: "Men Can Stop Rape"
Designed to enhance the existing programs that educate women on safety by shifting focus to males. The presentation would attempt to value alternative visions of male strength ("My strength is not for hurting"), and to embrace their vital role as allies with women and girls in fostering healthy relationships and gender equity. My concluding statement would be: "So when she was drunk, I backed off." <---- guaranteed winner there, lol.

MenCanStopRape.ORG

Idea 2: Oh, oh, oh... :) thought of another idea - from Women's Basketball. There have been a couple good examples about gender and sports recently - I remember a documentary style movie from my local area - "The Heart of the Game" about Roosevelt High School Roughriders (Girls Highschool Basketball Team) and Darnellia Russell, an athlete who was female, black and became pregnant, dropped out of school, and her right to re-enter sports when she went back to get her diploma was challenged. She eventually led her team to Washington State Champions. Another (more current) issue in the same genre centers on Jaime Nared from Beverton, Oregon.
-- lol, I'm wanting to do your assignment. Sorry.

Idea 3: Oh, my goodness - struck gold here: "Classism" (Rich vs. Poor) at its best!
Republican state representative of Louisiana, John LaBruzzo, says he is studying a plan to pay impoverished women $1,000 to get their Fallopian Tubes tied. It is touted as a possible solution to poverty that embraces population control.
I think he's watched YouTube's Intro to Idiocy one too many times:

It's not stealing in the sense that you are cooperating with the agencies and individuals who want to get the information out there.

I should also mention that the founder of one of my favorite charities (Newman's Own) has recently passed away. Many know Paul Newman as a celebrated actor "Cool Hand Luke" but they aren't aware of the story behind "The Hole in the Wall Gang" charity or how much he's given toward making the lives of millions of children more tolerable.

I used to work for a guy named Tim Rose, who at the time was a Warehouse Manager for Costco Wholesale. Costco likes to promote from within and it's fun to watch the careers of my old friends. Tim is now a senior executive over all in-store Costco merchandising. The reason I mention it is that Costco (through Tim's efforts) and Paul Newman have co-branded many items where they split the money 50:50 and both donate 100% of their profits to charity.

Camp Korey is due to open in Washington State (bought from proceeds of the co-branded sales) -- and is part of the "Hole in the Wall Gang" - a place where sick kids can "hike, fish, and raise a little hell". It's named after my old boss - Tim Rose's son Korey - who died from cancer a couple months after graduating HS.

Charities that concern themselves with helping sick kids play would be high on my list for candidates when considering "social rights".

I also wanted to thank you for your post - it's been very enlightening for me to try to understand "social rights" - I was almost clueless when I first wanted to attempt my reply. Fairly certain that we've honed in on the definition and perhaps a couple paths to travel.
