Marxism, Feminisim, Utilitarianism

We were discussing three critiques of human rights in class today. What was cool was when the two women from Kazakhstan and Lithuania compared notes on the effect of Marxism, and the woman from Sweden discussed abortion rights in her country, and the woman from France discussed corporal punishment in schools. Another American talked about how strange it is that she can have a right to an abortion but live next to someone who asserts his right to owning an AK-47 and using it to remove her rights. So an international student body brings into bright relief the range of ways in which human rights are interpreted around the world. People in Europe think Americans' perceived right to own a gun is bizarre.
