As I see it there is far too much emphasis on the individual's rights and far too little emphasis on the individual's responsibilities.
Learn about your Responsibilities as a citizen then learn about your rights as a citizen. If you exercise the former, you deserve the latter. If you demand the latter but fail to carry out the former then you have no right to demand rights that you have failed to earn.
In Australia there is a fine levied if you fail to exercise your right to vote in elections. It is sad that people will demonstrate, protest and march in parades for a cause but won't walk a block or two to cast a vote.
