4. RIGHTS Definition: Things that you are allowed to do because of nature or because of law

5. Because of NATURE? Because of LAW? What are you talking about, man?

6. 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.

7. 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!

20. D O I H AVE R IGHTS ? 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…

We must pay taxes and should register to vote!

24. 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??

25. YES! Is voting a right? Is voting also a responsibility? Do they ever overlap?

26. 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?

27. 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…

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.

40. 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.

41. 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.`
