Right claim justification framework
- Essential: To say that a right is essential to autonomy is to
say that it highlights a capacity whose exercise is necessary tothe general exercise of autonomy. For example, autonomy is based on
certain knowledge skills. Hence, we have a right to an education todevelop the knowledge required by autonomy, or we have a right to
the knowledge that produces informed consent. In general, rightsare devices for recognizing certain capacities as essential to
autonomy and respecting individuals in their exercise of thesecapacities.
- Vulnerable: The exercise of the capacity protected under the
right needs protection. Individuals may interfere with us in ourattempt to exercise our rights. Groups, corporations, and
governments might overwhelm us and prevent us from exercising ouressential capacities. In short, the exercise of the capacity
requires some sort of protection. For example, an individual’sprivacy is vulnerable to violation. People can gain access to our
computers without our authorization and view the information wehave stored. They can even use this information to harm us in some
way. The right to privacy, thus, protects certain capacities ofaction that are vulnerable to interference from others. Individual
and social energy needs to be expended to protect ourprivacy.
- Feasible: Rights make claims over others; they imply dutiesthat others have. These claims must not deprive the correlative
duty-holders of anything essential. In other words, my rightsclaims over you are not so extensive as to deprive you of your
rights. My right to life should not deprive you of your right toself-protection were I to attack you. Thus, the scope of my right
claims over you and the rest of society are limited by your abilityto reciprocate. I cannot push my claims over you to recognize and
respect my rights to the point where you are deprived of somethingessential.
Types of duty correlative to a right
- Duty not to deprive: We have a basic duty not to violate the
rights of others. This entails that we must both recognize andrespect these rights. For example, computing specialists have the
duty not to deprive others of their rights to privacy by hackinginto private files.
- Duty to prevent deprivation: Professionals, because of their
knowledge, are often in the position to prevent others fromdepriving third parties of their rights. For example, a computing
specialist may find that a client is not taking sufficient pains toprotect the confidentiality of information about customers.
Outsiders could access this information and use it without theconsent of the customers. The computing specialist could prevent
this violation of privacy by advising the client on ways to protectthis information, say, through encryption. The computing specialist
is not about to violate the customers’ rights to privacy. Butbecause of special knowledge and skill, the computing specialist
may be in a position to prevent others from violating thisright.
- Duty to aid the deprived: Finally, when others have their
rights violated, we have the duty to aid them in their recoveryfrom damages. For example, a computing specialist might have a duty
to serve as an expert witness in a lawsuit in which the plaintiffseeks to recover damages suffered from having her right to privacy
violated. Part of this duty would include accurate, impartial, andexpert testimony.
Questions & Answers
A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?
A mouse of mass 200 g falls 100 m down a vertical mine shaft and lands at the bottom with a speed of 8.0 m/s. During its fall, how much work is done on the mouse by air resistance

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

A ball is thrown straight up.it passes a 2.0m high window 7.50 m off the ground on it path up and takes 1.30 s to go past the window.what was the ball initial velocity
2. A sled plus passenger with total mass 50 kg is pulled 20 m across the snow (0.20) at constant velocity by a force directed 25° above the horizontal. Calculate (a) the work of the applied force, (b) the work of friction, and (c) the total work.
you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
Who can show me the full solution in this problem?
