This is the understanding of people such as the author Ayn Rand who argued that only individuals have rights, according to her philosophy known as Objectivism.[5] However, others have argued that there are situations in which a group of persons is thought to have rights, or group rights.[6] Accordingly: These include the distinction between civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights, between which the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are often divided. Some examples of groups whose rights are of particular concern include animals,[7] and amongst humans, groups such as children[8] and youth, parents (both mothers and fathers), and men and women.[9] Rights ethics has had considerable influence on political and social thinking. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1565.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1565.txt
