     Different people define and relate to human rights in
contrasting  ways.   Some people do so with integrity  and
focus  upon people's rights to be accepted as  members  of
God's extended family;  with rights to fulfill their  God-
given creative potentials; to be truly themselves in their
own  unique  ways.   Such people see it as their duty  and
responsibility  to promote personal and communal integrity
by  defending other people's rights.   Not all people view
human rights in that way.

     Some  people  view themselves as having the right  to
define their own rights in their own ways---and focus upon
defining  their own rights to their own advantage;  and so
to the disadvantage of others.   They focus upon issues of
control  of:   territory,   mates,  nesting  sites,   food
supplies,  resources,  associates, etc.    They view it as
their   right   to  issues  and  carry  out   threats   in
manipulative  maneuvers.     They do not  view  rights  as
placing  responsibilities upon them;  but as  giving  them
advantages over others.   Their ways of relating to others
promote personal and communal disintegration.  They relate
as authoritarians who seek to be in control in efforts  to
achieve  some  sense of security---because they  are  very
insecure at heart; but they cannot admit that to anybody.
