Hi?

I am trying to find out how the concept known as "rights" arose. I looked it up on wikipeida: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rights however they only talk about the different kinds of rights..etc, they don't mention anything about how rights, as a concept, arose, and who thought up the concept, what were the circumstances surrounding it..etc.

I would really appreciate it if people could help me.

Do you mean right, as in the context of right and wrong, or right as in the context of rights, such as civil rights. At times like this I wish we could converse in something other than English :rolleyes:
