From a western democratic perspective, natural rights are essential rights that cannot be taken away by any government of any kind. These rights were referred to in the Declaration of Independence as "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

The natural rights and the government relation can be seen by Locke’s argument: the purpose of government is to secure and protect the God-given undeniable natural rights of the people. The specific quote is Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Explanation:

Natural rights are rights that are essential for society and humanity. According to the concept “all humans are created equal”, there are three natural rights which are determined as universal. Those three rights are the right to life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.

Generally, basic human rights are based on universal natural law, different from those that are based on positive human-made law. Although there is no agreement about which rights are natural and which are not, the commonly held view is that nature blesses every human being (without differences in time or space, and regardless of gender, age, nationality, or race) with certain rights that cannot be revoked that cannot be canceled or disturbed by any government.

If these rights are preserved in the national legal code or not, there is no legitimate government if it fails to enforce them. We can learn the value of each natural right by seeing the description below:

1. life: this idea is focused on how every human has their rights to live their life.

2. liberty: this idea is focused on how every human has their right to be independent.

3. pursuit of happiness: this idea is focused on how every human has their rights to fulfill their desire.

By seeing each meaning, we can see that there must be a limit for every person who does not do something that may violate other people’s natural rights. Therefore, the government also has an important role in this term.

What do you think should be the ROLE of the free press (consider all types) in a democratic country? In what ways might today's

kkurt [141]

The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

What do you think should be the ROLE of the free press (consider all types) in a democratic country?

The role of the free press should always be to report the truth and nothing but the truth, which means never bias information or confound or distort public opinion.

In what ways might today's media in the USA seem to fulfill such a role or purpose, and in what ways might we argue the media to be failing to fulfill its role.

Not always. The major news companies in America serve particular and economic purposes of their owners. For instance, Disney owns ABC and ESPN; among other news channels. So many times they serve the business interests of the owners and are not completely objective in covering the news.

What should we expect from it?

The truth, and nothing but the truth.

What should we demand?

The same, and to never bias the reality in favor of one side or the other.

How does the media inform us, and how does it shape our attitudes and beliefs?

The media shape our attitudes and beliefs because people trust the media, thinking they are telling the truth and serving our interests, but that is not true, as I explained above.

Consider the media coverage of the 2016 candidates during the primaries. Consider Trump's attacks on the media (general or specific). Any threats or dangers for our democracy?

Yes, the media received constant critics and attacks during the Republican presidential campaign, but as I wrote above, the media is not a "white dove," it has served the economic and political interests of political groups and big corporations in the past and in the present.
