Britt's Responce for blog 3

I think that there can be some universal rights.  To have or develop universal rights I think that the cultures involved must all agree on them.  If the majority of cultures decides that one of the ways that they do something is right then they should be able to educate the minority cultures on the subject.  I must stress education, not force.  After the minority culture learns about the way other people do something, then they can decide if they would like to continue to do it the way that they have been or the way that others do it.  In this way I would defiantly hope that educating and being educated, are universal rights.
Because of the "melting pot" idea, Americans often have experience with many worldly cultures and practices, in The United States.  It is not that uncommon to have Buddhist-Jews, or Wicken-Catholics in america.  I think that another universal human right is to choose your culture, and what rights you think that you deserve, for your self.  I am not saying that everyone should be able to do what they want to do, but I am saying they should have a voice in their rights.
