These statements (#MaC) form part of the Morality as Cooperation Quiz What is morality? Where does it come from, and how does it work? And how and why do moral values vary, between individuals, and across cultures? The theory of ‘morality as cooperation’ (MAC) argues that morality is best understood as a collection of biological and cultural solutions to the problems of cooperation recurrent in human social life. MAC draws on evolutionary game theory to argue that, because there are many types of cooperation, there will be many types of morality. These include: family values, group loyalty, reciprocity, heroism, deference, fairness and property rights. Previous research suggests that these seven types of morality are evolutionarily-ancient, psychologically-distinct, and cross-culturally universal.

**Everyone is equal. Everyone is important. Everyone is entitled to rights. Everyone's rights are equally important.** - How can anyone really disagree with this opinion? Can anybody actually argue that somebody’s rights are not important as some else’s? - We are all human, we have all evolved from the same original species. Thus, we are all the same. We are all equally important, equally unique and equally special. As all of our lives are equal, then so are our rights. - Everyone is entitled to the same rights. These rights remain important, no matter who you are. - However, I was questioning whether you could perhaps disagree with this. For instance, is a disabled persons right to healthcare more important than a non-healthcare needing persons right? The latter person does not need the health care or support services like the disabled person does. Thus, does that make the disabled persons right to healthcare more important as they need it more? I am unsure on this. - But, if we start agreeing that one persons right to healthcare is more important than another due to their position, then we will continue to discriminate in some way. It may not first appear negative discrimination, but really any discrimination is negative. - We are all equally important. No life is less important than another. No life is more important than another. Life should be a level playing field, instead of a steep slope that denies too many people of basic rights. - Everyone’s rights are equally important. I only wish that the entire world agreed with this opinion too.

It is very pleasing to see how the overwhelming response towards this opinion is strong agreement, but it is also necessary to clarify the scope of "rights" in this context. Human rights are, indeed, universal and everyone is entitled to it. However, we must note that not all rights are universal and are situational, in which case it would not be equally important to everyone. For example, the right to abortion is more important for a pregnant woman than to a man; the right to strike is more important for a worker than for a student.

Every CITIZEN'S rights are equally important.
