Universal Rights
The Universal values they are values that apply to all types of human
beings, regardless of their social, ethnic or cultural origin. A value is
considered universal when it goes beyond laws and beliefs; rather, it is
considered to have the same meaning for all people and does not vary
according to the societies.
The definition of universal value and its existence are conjectures subject
to studies in social sciences, such as moral philosophy and cultural
anthropology. In fact, cultural relativism is a belief that opposes the
existence of universal values; proposes that a value can not be universal
because it is perceived differently in each culture.
The first is that a large number of human beings, under different living
conditions and subjected to different beliefs, find a certain human
characteristic as valuable. In that case, the characteristic in question
would then be called a universal value.
