Rights vs. Responsibilities
二 CANI?
DURING TODAY’S CLASS, WE WILL DISTINGUISH BETWEEN AN
OBLIGATION AND A RESPONSIBILITY.
WE WILL ALSO MAKE OUR OWN COUNTRIES BASED ON THE
RIGHTS WE FIND MOST IMPORTANT.
Please take notes by filling in the blanks on your guided worksheet.
RIGHTSDefinition:
Things that you are allowed to do because of nature or because of law
Because of
NATURE? Because of
LAW? What are you
talking about,
man?
Ok, ok… Here we go…
“Because of Nature”A long time ago a man named John Locke said that every human pursues
three things: life (survival),
liberty (freedom), and
property (owning things to help us survive).
Mr. Locke called these NATURAL RIGHTS.
Ok, ok… Here we go…
“Because of Law”Just as all people have natural
rights, there are also rights that are created by the laws. For example, Congress can pass a law that gives people
new rights!
GOT IT! THANKS!
TYPES OF RIGHTS
Personal Rights
allow people to live how they want as long as it doesn’t get in the way of other people’s
rights.
Political Rights
allow people to participate in the
political process. We need participation to
have democracy.
People put rights into all kinds of categories, but here are the two main groups with some examples.

DO I HAVE RIGHTS?As a student, you have rights, but your
rights are limited to protect you and your peers.
For example, you can’t say whatever you want in a speech at a school event. Your school can require
you to be respectful and appropriate.
When you are an adult, you have more freedom to do and say what you want.
Does this seem fair to you? Give a thumbs up or down!
Why might it be important for students to have limited rights in school? Give ONE reason it might be
important.
Blaaaah blah blahhh blah…
WHAT DO ALL THESE RIGHTS MEAN FOR ME?
With rights, or freedoms, come…
RESPONSIBILITY!!! There you go again!
Explain yourself!
RESPONSIBILITIES
Definition:
The expectation that you will take care of
certain things or perform duties
Oh! Stuff we’re supposed to do!
TYPES OF RESPONSIBILITY
Personal DutiesThings you have to do!
o Jury Dutyo Pay Taxeso Obey Lawso Register for Selective
Service o Get an Education
Social ResponsibilitiesThings you should do!
o Stay Informedo Tolerate Otherso Protect Public Safetyo Register to Voteo Speak Your Mind
Just like rights, there are different kinds of responsibilities.
We must pay taxes and
should register to vote!
Yes! As a student, your list of responsibilities might look a little
different.
Your list may not include voting, but it probably includes
respecting authority.
I’m a student… Do I have
responsibilities??
YES!Is voting a right? Is voting also a responsibility?
Do they ever overlap?
YES!What if you yelled “FIRE!”
in a crowded movie theater? What
RIGHT might be involved?
What RESPONSIBILITY
might be involved?
Do they ever conflict?
In the crowded movie theater scenario, which is more
important:
The right? Or the responsibility?The responsibility. Even though you have a right to
free speech, you have the responsibility to protect the
public safety. It would be seriously unsafe to yell “FIRE!” in
a crowded movie theater…
LET’S RECAP… THUMBS UP OR DOWN?
As we click through each slide, give a thumbs up if a statement is true or a
thumbs down if a statement is false.
LET’S RECAP… THUMBS UP OR DOWN?
Rights are things that you are allowed to do because of science or because you
want to.
LET’S RECAP… THUMBS UP OR DOWN?
John Locke describes natural rights as the pursuit of life, liberty,
and property.
LET’S RECAP… THUMBS UP OR DOWN?
The Constitution lays out rights for citizens of the United States in the Bill
of Rights.
LET’S RECAP… THUMBS UP OR DOWN?
There are two main categories of rights: Personal Rights and
Private Rights.
LET’S RECAP… THUMBS UP OR DOWN?
Students and adults have the same rights.
LET’S RECAP… THUMBS UP OR DOWN?
While we have many rights, that also means
that we have many responsibilities.
LET’S RECAP… THUMBS UP OR DOWN?
There are two main categories of
responsibilities: Personal Duties and Private Rights.
LET’S RECAP… THUMBS UP OR DOWN?
Rights and responsibilities
sometimes overlap and sometimes
conflict.
Great Job!

understand our
RIGHTS and
RESPONSIBILITIES!
三 CAN I CREATE A COUNTRY?
三 CAN I CREA
TE A COUNTRY
?
Using the crayons and colored pencils from the “Coping with
Stress” cabinet, create a flag for your country on the worksheet.
Next, write a motto for your country. A motto is a short phrase that sums
up your ideals and beliefs.
For example, the motto of the USA is since 1956 is IN GOD WE TRUST. It is also the motto of the state of Florida
and the country of Nicaragua.
Texas’s motto is FRIENDSHIP. Wyoming’s motto is EQUAL RIGHTS.
In the box, there are five rights listed and five responsibilities listed. Sort the rights from responsibilities and write them into the scrolls at the bottom of the page.
When you get to the last line on the rights scroll, you need to make your own right up.
When you get to the last line on the responsibilities scroll, you need to make up your own responsibility.
三 CAN I CREA
TE A COUNTRY
?
Finally, work on the back of the worksheet.
Whatever you do not have completed will be home prep due tomorrow.
We are in the computer lab tomorrow. Go straight there.`
