Title:
Ronald
Dworkin:
Taking
Rights
Seriously
Quote:
“In
practice
the
government
will
have
the
last
word
on
what
an
individual’s
rights
are…”
Expectation:
I
expect
to
learn
more
about
Ronald
Dworkin‘s
chapter
about
taking
rights
seriously.
Book
Review:
Ronald
Dworkin
graduated
from
Harvard
University
studied
about
the
institution
of
rights.
In
this
chapter,
he
explains
about
taking
rights
seriously.
According
to
Dworkin,
rights
were
dominated
by
high
officials
in
a
government
in
ruling
a
nation.
It
has
a
strong
sense
in
needing
to
see
moral
rights.
These
rights
were
protected
by
laws
and
policies
in
a
state.
He
also
discussed
the
differences
between
legal
rights
and
moral
rights.
Legal
rights
are
often
beliefs
by
different
people
who
think
that
these
rights
are
real
and
unchangeable
unless
the
congress
will
say
so,
whereas,
the
moral
rights
are
principles
or
created
by
the
church
or
a
specific
religion.
An
example
of
legal
right
that
is
not
a
moral
right
is
following
the
signs
and
policies
in
a
roadway.
Moral
right
that
is
not
a
legal
right
is
visiting
the
church
every
Sunday.
Dworkin
also
contributed
some
important
ideas
on
equality.
He
mentioned
two
models
in
the
institutions
of
rights.
The
first
one
is
about
the
government’s
policies
in
securing
all
individual
beings.
It
illustrates
the
rights
between
an
individual
person
and
the
demands
of
the
society.
The
second
model
is
more
on
political
equality.
From
the
chapter,
the
first
model
had
caught
Dworkin’s
interests.
Things
I
have
learned:
I
have
learned
how
to
take
rights
seriously.
I
also
learned
the
differences
between
legal
rights
from
moral
rights.
