Document Summary
**human rights*: food as a human right. Every single person, regardless of who they are or where they live, everyone should have access to food. The poor and homeless would be able to have food rather than steal food. Think of where the line is drawn when thinking about who has access to food: if everyone has a human right to housing. Responses to economic injustices: the local is often tied to the global in various ways. Think of what that means and why it doesn"t mean much for certain people. How do we get access: instead of rights, people say social responsibility . Social responsibility shifting the focus on all of us, not just the government. This makes it more immediate, a day-to-day interaction. When it"s directed as a human right, it"s often looked at as the government"s responsibility.
