Synopsis Globalization was also driven by the global expansion of multinational corporations based in the United States and Europe and worldwide exchange of new developments in science, technology and products. Human rights are rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled. Proponents of the concept usually assert that everyone is endowed with certain entitlements merely by reason of being human. Human rights are thus conceived in a universalist and egalitarian fashion. Such entitlements can exist as shared norms of actual human moralities, as justified moral norms or natural rights supported by strong reasons, or as legal rights either at a national level or within international law.
