Kwame Anthony Appiah
1. What is a negative right? Why connection does Appiah make between negative rights and human rights? Do you think he is right to make that connection? Why or why not?
2. How, according to Appiah, might some cultures use human rights to defend practices that Western societies regard as part of the subjugation of women? Does this mean that human rights vary from culture to culture? Why or why not?
3. Why, according to Appiah, are human rights agreements so useful? What connection does Appiah draw between their usefulness and their weak philosophical grounding?
