Abstract
This paper defines key terms necessary for the paper ('human rights', 'civil rights' and 'civil liberties') and gives a brief history of the development of human rights (from Socrates through to the U.S. Bill of Rights and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights). The main paper is split into two parts. Part one looks at alleged human rights violations from both an external, generally 'Western', perspective and an internal, Chinese (Asian-Islamic) perspective. It argues that human rights as an issue is being manipulated by both Western and Eastern governments for political purposes. Examples used in the paper include alleged oppression in Tibet, Xinjiang, and Tianenmen Square; as well as suspected torture based on religious, political and socio-cultural intolerance by the Chinese government. Part two looks at possible solutions to the human rights issue. It again uses both internal (Chinese) and external (U.S. and U.N.) perspectives and leads to the thought-provoking conclusion. The full text of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights is included in the appendix.
From the Paper
"'Human rights' are rights that all humans are entitled to such as the right to live, the right to liberty, the right to freedom of expression and the right to equality within society. 'Civil rights' and 'civil liberties' refer to the guarantees that a state may make to its citizens and are offered in addition to one's basic human rights. Perhaps the best quantification of human rights (and the mostly widely accepted in the West) is the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Although the UN's Declaration is over half a century old and has been savagely criticized at times it still serves as a useful guide to general ideals of human rights."

Abstract
This paper compares the level of women?s rights in the two countries. It compares historical voting rights, political power, positions in legislative systems, domestic violence, infanticide and the one child policy. There is also an account of Chinese women?s prison. Includes many numerical comparison and discusses cloaking of actual figures by government agencies.
From the paper:
"The "China Daily," discusses women's rights in China in a positive manner, bringing up several points that show women in China have no fewer rights than women in the United States. Unfortunately, there are many topics that were not discussed in this paper, that prove women in China still have a long road ahead of them in achieving true equal rights.
The article says that women of China did not have to wait 144 years after the forming of a constitution to vote. "American women belatedly obtained equal voting rights 144 years after the founding of the United States, while Chinese women were grated such rights immediately after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949" (Editors, 1995)."

Human Rights in China, 2008.
Presents a proposal for a hermeneutically designed research study of human rights in China.

Abstract
This paper proposes research that will evaluate the validity of the theory that human rights violations occur in China in greater frequency than others because of a system of governance that entrusts too much power on the ruling Communist Party. The paper
relates that the research will adopt a hermeneutical design because such a design not only promises a high degree of objectivity but also because it is considered the most appropriate methodology for a study of the social sciences. The paper also relates that empirical evidence will be gathered, interpreted and analyzed to disprove or confirm prior conceptions about the prevalence of human rights abuses in China.

From the Paper
"There is another assumption on the part of Chinese officialdom that needs to be examined because this is the official line often invoked to justify the harsh treatment of offenders. Every time outside criticism of human rights violations within China intensifies, the CCP leadership would cite the need to discipline parts of the citizenry in order to create a harmonious society as a whole. This policy is supposed to be based on Asian values that place the welfare of the many ahead of that of a few. In this view, giving citizens too much freedom is dangerous and that government must not show weakness or else social deterioration will ensue."

Human Rights Violations in China, 2002.
A discussion on whether human rights violations in China have affected any relationship with the United States.

Abstract
This paper is an examination of the effect that China's long history of human rights violations has had on relations with the United States. It asserts that there has been no real or lasting impact. In nations where our objections have weight, such issues do come to play. But, in China, where the U.S. has no real power, such change is virtually impossible. Therefore, this paper asserts that the process of developing an economic foothold in China (as politically we are no where in that nation) is the only viable way to insinuate ourselves into the Chinese theater and thus change the story for all of the helpless Chinese victims of an unsympathetic government.

Abstract
This research examines the human-rights status of young people and women in the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.). The research sets forth the historical and cultural background in which human-rights issue fronts have emerged in the P.R.C., particularly with respect to conditions faced by women and children in the country. The paper then discusses the prospect of improvement of those conditions.
From the Paper
"The history of the P.R.C. since the 1949 revolution has been marked by patterns of human-rights violations that have been associated with the ideological revolutionary posture assumed by Mao Zedong. Mao's ideology was predicated of the concept of permanent revolution, which by implication meant permanent violence internal to Chinese experience. The human-rights implications of this may be derived from a 1969 report by Time on the content of the Cultural Revolution, which noted that "the Chinese made a practice of marching prisoners to the center of the river, accusing them of being pro-Soviet traitors, and then beheading them."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses whether homosexuals should receive rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. The writer questions whether gays should receive rights compared to civil rights. The writer argues that while it is true that gays and minorities are often mistreated, the difference is in the ability to make a decision. The writer maintains that gay rights are different than civil rights because homosexuals make the decision to be gays and even the Bible shows that it is wrong, but African-Americans are born "black" and the Bill of Rights guarantee rights to "all men". The writer then points out that the Civil Rights Act was passed to guarantee that all African-Americans be treated equally with other Americans. The writer argues that comparing gay rights with civil rights shows that gays make a decision to date or love another person of the same sex, while African-Americans are born with their skin color and they should be given the same rights as any American.
From the Paper
"Before determining whether gays should have rights it is important to look at the definition of homosexuals. The definition of homosexuals will show that it is defined as a sexual orientation with romantic love and sexual desire of the same sex or gender. When a person falls in love with another person, a decision must be made to love the person. Homosexuality is a decision. The gay person decides to fall in love with another person of his or her same gender. This is the same as if a person decides to never date a person or if a person decides to fall in love with another person of a difference sex. Since it is a decision, people should not receive certain rights because they make a decision. Many homosexuals and minorities are rejected jobs and other freedoms so many people believe they should have rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. However, it is important to remember that homosexuals decide whether they want to have a love life with a member of the same sex."

From the Paper
"This research paper discusses the nature and course of the movements for civil rights and women's rights in the United States during the 1860s and draws appropriate comparisons and contrasts between them.
The principal struggle for civil rights related to improving the political, legal and, to a lesser extent, the economic status of blacks in the South, their emancipation from slavery and succor by the North during the Civil War (1860-1865) and their achievement of suffrage and other rights during the initial phases of Reconstruction (1865-1870). Emancipation only gradually became a central goal of Union policy during the war and its full parameters were far from settled by the time President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Reconstruction policy followed an even..."

Abstract
"International property rights (IPR) violation is a widespread and entrenched phenomenon in China because of several factors. China?s rocky transition from a centralized economic system to capitalism has provided a rife environment for piracy to flourish in the ?gray? market.
From the Paper
"International property rights (IPR) violation is a widespread and entrenched phenomenon in China because of several factors. China?s rocky transition from a centralized economic system to capitalism has provided a rife environment for piracy to flourish in the ?gray? market. In addition to the fact that the lucrative nature of the business provides tremendous incentive for the suppliers to engage in piracy, the Chinese consumers constitute the other half of the problem. Although they are impressed by the dazzling array of products offered by America, such as the music, films and computer software, they can ill afford the prices of the legitimate products; therefore, they turn to pirated copies. Furthermore, the absence of a legal and enforcement system to uphold IPR in China further cultivates the presence of piracy. From another perspective, the strict..."
