How do fundamental rights differ from human rights?
Fundamental rights are specific rights that are recognized and protected by a country's constitution or laws, and they are typically enforceable through legal means within that country. On the other hand, human rights are universal rights that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of their nationality or citizenship, and they are often recognized and protected by international agreements and treaties. While fundamental rights are specific to the legal framework of a particular country, human rights are considered to be universal and apply to all individuals worldwide. Additionally, fundamental rights may vary from country to country, while human rights are meant to be consistent and applicable to everyone.

Citizen Rights, Migrant Rights and Civic Stratification
This book explores the concept of civic stratification and examines its contemporary relevance for analysis and understanding of the functioning of rights in society. David Lockwood’s (1996) concept of civic stratification outlines the way in which the rights associated with citizenship can be a source of inequality by virtue of their formal granting or denial by the state, or by informal impediments to their full realisation.The purpose of this book is to explore the meaning and significance of this concept, and elaborate its potential in offering a framework for understanding the dynamic nature of rights.Lockwood’s model reverses Marshall’s (1950) view of citizenship as guaranteed inclusion in society and is linked to the way that the differential entitlement and the qualifying conditions associated with certain rights can be harnessed as a means of control.While both Marshall and Lockwood were principally concerned with the rights attaching to citizenship, this book extends the insights of these two authors to show how such controls apply in various ways to both citizens and non-citizens alike.Building on Lockwood’s conception of ‘moral resources’ the book set out a theoretical framework and empirical illustration of how the position of different groups within society is subject to shifting perceptions of social worth and is engaged both in claims to fuller access to rights and in justifications of their denial or removal. This book will appeal to scholars and higher-level students with relevant interests in sociolegal studies, sociology, social policy and politics.

Methods for Community-Based Research : Advancing Educational Justice and Epistemic Rights
Methods for Community-Based Research describes how Community-Based Research (CBR) is particularly suited to understand and take action on issues of educational justice. The book shifts assumptions about who is considered a researcher, drawing attention to issues of power and the ethics of collaborations, and foregrounding how those who have often been positioned as the objects of educational interventions can—and have the rights to—play an active role in creating educational arrangements more conducive to their own flourishing. The authors draw on a decade-long partnership across the boundaries of race, language, immigration status, and institutional affiliation to provide examples that illustrate the complexities and possibilities of this work.They distill principles, practices, and ongoing inquiries for researchers to consider across all aspects of the research process. The book supports researchers in creating the conditions for collaborative inquiry into issues of educational (in)justice that are salient to community partners.It will be of interest to advanced undergraduate, graduate students and scholars in education, and other disciplines that utilize a CBR method such as healthcare research and anthropology, as well as scholars interested in qualitative methods and issues of social justice in research.

There has been a growing acceptance and recognition of LGBTQIA rights in many countries, leading to the legalization of same-sex marriage, anti-discrimination laws, and increased visibility and representation in media and politics.

Are rights cruel?
Rights themselves are not inherently cruel. In fact, they are designed to protect individuals from cruelty and ensure their well-being. However, the way in which rights are upheld or violated by individuals or institutions can certainly be cruel. When rights are denied or abused, it can lead to suffering and injustice. Therefore, the concept of rights is not cruel, but the actions of those who violate or ignore them can be.

What is the difference between human rights and civil rights?
Human rights are rights that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, nationality, gender, religion, or any other status. They include the right to life, liberty, and security, as well as freedom from discrimination, torture, and slavery. Civil rights, on the other hand, are rights that are granted to individuals within a specific country or jurisdiction. They often focus on issues of equality and non-discrimination in areas such as employment, housing, and education. While human rights are universal and apply to all people, civil rights are specific to the laws and regulations of a particular society.
