Question

"Rights are certain advantageous conditions of social well-being indispensable to the true development of the citizen". In the light of this statement, which one of the following is the correct understanding of rights?
1.    Rights aim at individual good only.
2.    Rights aim at social good only.
3.    Rights aim at both individual and social good.
4.    Rights aim at individual good devoid of social well-being.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 :    Rights aim at both individual and social good.

This question can be answered by eliminating options.

Option 1 talks about only individual good whereas the statement speaks about rights and true development of citizen which includes both individual and social good. It says that rights are beneficial/positive conditions of social well being and that these conditions are necessary for the real/overall development of the citizen. Therefore, option 1 is not valid.

Option 2 talks about only social good whereas the statement speaks about rights and true development of citizen which includes both individual and social good. It says that rights are beneficial/positive conditions of social well being and that these conditions are necessary for the real/overall development of the citizen. Therefore, option 2 is not valid.

Option 3 talks about both individual and social good. The statement also talks about true development of citizen which includes both individual and social good. Therefore, option 3 is valid.

Option 4 says that rights aim at individual good devoid of social well-being. This is against the statement. Therefore, option 4 is not valid.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
