Rights and Responsibilities

through CST

by: Emily O'Fallon, Brady Boettcher,

and Emily Jacobsen

The natural rights with which we have been dealing are inseparably connected, in the very person who is their subject, with

just as many respective duties; and rights as well as duties find their source, their sustenance and their inviolability in the natural law which grants or enjoins them. Those, therefore, who claim their own rights, yet altogether forget or neglect to carry out their respective duties, are people who build with one hand and destroy with the other.

Since men are social by nature they are meant to live with others and to work for one another's welfare.

A well-ordered human society requires that men recognize and observe their mutual rights and duties. It also demands that

each contribute generously to the establishment of a civic order in which rights and duties are more sincerely and effectively

acknowledged and fulfilled. It is not enough, for example, to acknowledge and respect every man's right to the means of subsistence if we do not strive to the best of our ability for a sufficient supply of what is necessary for his sustenance.

Responsibilities

Catholic Social Teaching says that society does not owe us these rights, we owe them to one another. It also says we should do our responsibilities for the common good.

Rights that we have

as human beings

As human beings, we have the right to life,

economic rights, and political and cultural rights. Through the right to life, we get our basic needs, such as food, shelter, rest, and healthcare. Economic rights offer us employment, education, and equal opportunities. Finally, political and cultural rights give us certain freedoms, such as privacy and religious expression.
