Are rights real?

In history today we discussed rights. Are they real or are they just man made? After reading the passages in our reading I came to the conclusion that rights are one hundred percent man made. In nature there are no rights. Animals do not get to decide whether it is right for one animal to eat another it is just nature. If humans were wild animals nothing could stop one person from harming another. Since we are smarter, one day when someone was getting killed or harmed they thought that it was unfair and wrong. When other people started to agree with him they realized it was their right to not be harmed by other humans. This soon developed one of the most important aspects about us being human today.
