Summary

"This cross-disciplinary book investigates how morality translates into action by presenting original psychological research on our understanding of human rights and duties. This topical focus is especially timely in our post-9/11 world where the relative rights and duties of citizens and our government are foremost in our minds. One of the book's goals is to explore the general public's ideas (both in the United States and abroad) about rights versus duties so that legislative and policy changes can be based on solid support, not assumptions."--BOOK JACKET.
