To protect people’s rights (freedom), political power came into being in human society. In gaming between right and political power, authority (authoritarian) can play the role of checks and balances and restraints on right (power), and true authoritativeness (generally accepted by social members) promotes the formation of a good and harmonious order in human society.

About Right

Baby’s Cry

The moment a baby is born, he or she instantly has a right – to cry – which all people believe is its right that cannot be deprived, disregarding this innocent while loud cry has disturbed the peace of others or not. Hence, the doctor or midwife will pat with hand on the soles of the feet of a baby when it is born without crying to force them to make a sound. As we are all afraid that a human baby who has just come into this world cannot cry, which situation implies that it may have certain disease or die.

A baby is truly separated from its mother and becomes free and independent after the umbilical cord is cut. Simply it has no choice but to cry as it’s unable to speak. It cries just because he is hungry, or wants to sleep, or is ill, or feels unfit… And no matter what, the parents will try their best to satisfy its needs. In the parents’ eyes, every sound from the baby is conveying certain message, and, all its demands – breast milk, interesting colorful balloons … – are reasonable. The parents would like to give it everything that can make it calm, excited or laugh unreservedly.

A baby who doesn’t cry is sure to make its parents sad. Without the right to cry, it means that the baby has no way to express its demands, and the parents will anguish for this too. Doesn’t anyone anguish in a life without rights? The rights here refers to the right to cry for hunger, pain… and the right to smile or laugh for happiness…

A baby’s right to cry has no boundaries. Its requirements are way too simple. It will not disturb the adults’ happiness and peace, let alone to harm anyone. Instead, it will make people who see it feel happy and forget their worries and sadness.

A baby is to cry, and, to cry is a right exclusively for baby.

Does anyone object to it? No one will object except for a handful of people like the ancient Egyptian pharaohs¹ in the Moses era. Almost all humans agree that a baby can cry at will, and this is the most original right of everyone on earth that is irrefutable – the freedom to do what they want.

A status is depicted in Leviathan – it’s impossible for peer-to-peer war to happen in the babies’ world², and, a baby’s rights have no boundaries. Almost all it demands shall be satisfied as it has no power and chance to destroy this world at all. The motive and reason for satisfying a baby without hesitation is quite simple, it’s because of life – human life. Everyone has the right and freedom to survive. And a baby’s life in infancy needs to be taken good care of by others. Only by crying and asking for something can a baby in infancy survive in this world. All these are the rights it deserves to sustain life – rights without boundaries.

What if boundaries are set for a baby’s rights? It’ll cry when hungry. Can its small mouth be muffled lest wake people around? Can a baby be prevented from sleeping in its parents’ bed because its excrement soiled clean bed sheets? The answer of anyone who is normal will definitely be No as it is a kid yet and there are its most basic rights. So, for the continuation of life, in no cases shall boundaries be set for the rights of a baby in infancy.

Runaway Little Horse

As a baby grows gradually, especially when it starts to walk on the ground by itself, its parents find that it has become naughty and unmanageable. It tries to make a noise with whatever in its house, or to put them into mouth to know the taste. But some stuff is not eatable at all, and some stuff will harm it. So, in such case, the parents must first check through the places wherever the kid goes to make sure that there are no dangerous or valuable articles before allowing the kid to be there. Yet, unexpected situations still happen to the parents.

Not seen for just a little while, it has walked along the tea table to the sill, standing on its little tiptoe, with a cup the parent put on the sill before getting within the reach of its little hand, which is its mom’s favorite craft ceramic cup. Its dad, having seen this, rushed up with a lunge and promptly grabbed the cup. Only by doing so has a property loss and the mom’s mood swing been avoided.

When the mom was cooking and the dad was answering the phone and no one was paying attention to the kid, it quietly moved to the sill again. It didn’t walk but crawled there, and even climbed onto a chair by the sill, with one little hand holding the window, its little body leaning against the sill, and the other little hand attempting to open the window like its parents do. Its mom, hearing the sound of opening window in the kitchen next door, ran to the kid as flying and took it down from the window immediately. She got so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her body as their house is 5-storey high from the ground…

In such case, the kid is like a runaway little horse, running around. There are many very dangerous places but it doesn’t know at all. There is much stuff that can make people sick after being eaten but it tries to swallow them again and again. For its safety and health, its parents need to put a rein on it to confine the range of its activities forcibly, and timely seize articles that are harmful to it… Boundaries arise for the status that a kid can do stuffs freely for the first time – it can no longer do what it wants – This is the most original boundary of rights in human society, simply the boundary of rights at this stage is mainly set by its relatives and the direct purpose is to protect the kid’s safety and health.

Smokeless Battlefield

In a community or village, when the kids start to learn to walk, their parents will usually take them out for fun. Hence, the kids begin to contact each other and communicate in their own ways. Although at this stage real communication does not take place among kids but among their parents in most cases, they will excitedly draw attention from pals with weird sounds or actions shortly after their parents introduce them to each other and teach them how to greet pals. Afterwards, they will gradually become friends-like enemies. For any tasty food or anything fun, they will scramble, or cry and ask their own parents for it, not thinking of the feelings and situations of the people around them at all. No matter whose these stuffs are, if no parents to mediate, wars will usually occur among them in grabbing stuffs or toys. And most of such wars can be resolved due to the presence of their parents. The parents will adopt the interpersonal communication rules they are already familiar with to delimit a boundary for their own kids. For example, ‘This toy is Peter’s. You have to be obedient. Mom will buy one for you.’ says the parent of one kid; and, the other kid’s parents will say the same way, ‘He is undoubtedly your good pal, let him play for a while, and he will let you play his toys too.’ The kids will, when obedient to their parents, be praised. The parents are rather willing to let them learn to master these boundaries to get along with other pals. Because these aim to protect each other’s maximum interest in clashes of interest lest wars for toys or food exacerbate, which will in turn cause embarrassing hostility between the parents of both sides. It is far more worse for the parents to treat it after one kid’s face is scratched in fight between two kids for a novel toy than to set boundaries for their kids before the war breaks out between them – boundaries of rights that they are not allowed to behave freely somewhere sometime, which will lead to much better result to the parents and the kids of both sides. The world among kids is no different from a battlefield, where smokeless wars may occur anytime. Because one only knows to satisfy himself/herself at first, which is a human nature; whereas right is the twin of mankind’s natural attribute of only to satisfy self, which may not and should not be completely deprived.

Learn to Live Peacefully

As the kids gradually get to know how to play with other kids, their parents will not follow them like they did when they were very little, but let the kids stay together themselves and deal with clashes and problems among them on their own. In previous clashes, kids already knew what the consequences would be if they did something at will. So, in contacting with other pals, they begin to think of others and pay attention to the feelings and attitudes of other kids.

They try to compromise and negotiate, Let’s exchange our toys to play, ok? most kids no longer make unrestrained requests. In order maximize their fun getting along with each other, and not to lose their pals, they begin to know how to restrain themselves and get the joy and trust of their pals so as to satisfy their own needs. Like adults, kids also don’t want to be alone and have no friends. Most importantly, in getting along with their pals, they gradually get to know how to use self-discipline in exchange for harmony in getting along with each other so that the interests of themselves and other kids can both be protected.

The self-discipline mentioned here refers to the experience they gained from their parents as well as their own personal experience. The boundaries of rights their parents once set for them have now become their codes of conduct, or to say they get to know the functions and benefits of boundaries of rights. From obeying the boundaries and surrendering rights passively, to disciplining themselves actively and exercising their rights cautiously – they get to know that they can’t do what they want anywhere anytime. The reason they do so is initially to exchange for greater interest – to get pals to play with, more toys and tasty food… Undeniably, however, in order to satisfy their own greater interest, even very little kid can learn how to peacefully get along with others.

School – the Fetters of Right

Although kids’ rights have been restrained in being with their parents and playing with pals – such restraint is perhaps due to the prohibition of parental discipline, or to satisfy their own greater interest. But such boundary of rights formed due to external or internal factors has a far less powerful impact on kids than the restraint of rights imposed by schools and kindergartens on kids.

Because every morning they have to get up very early and have breakfast, and then go to school.

Unlike in their infancy, they could sleep as long as they want, and eat whenever they want. The most uncomfortable thing for kids is that they are generally not allowed to talk and move freely like they do at home when they are at school or kindergarten. With the increasingly onerous learning tasks and the teachers’ discipline, they gradually get to know what discipline is, what punishment is, what is right and what is wrong before a teacher. This is the reason why kids are generally unwilling to go to school at the beginning – their rights will be subject to so much restraint if they go to school that the schoolyard is simply fetters of rights to them compared to the restraint of rights from their parents or pals.

Entering the schooling period, teachers and parents will instill in kids a consciousness again and again – be obedient, follow what the parents say, follow what the teachers say, don’t be naughty, and obey various school disciplines. The kids know from their childhood experiences that the main purpose of the parents’ such requirements are for their good and the things their parents don’t allow them to do are all harmful to them. To follow what the teachers say, to obey the disciplines, and to study hard at school is to learn knowledge and skills so as to have a good job, a promising future and a happy life.

Such kind of cognition leads most kids to surmount the rights requirements brought by their nature, disciplining themselves, not violating the boundaries of rights set by their parents and teachers. But there are also some kids who choose to passively restrain themselves because they are afraid of punishment for violating the rules of their parents and teachers. Simply this type of kids may seek chance to claim their rights anytime. The main manifestation for this is that they will do things without prior permission as long as such things are not expressly prohibited by their parents and teachers. To them, free expansion of rights is normal while restraint is just exceptional. But most kids are restraining their rights by themselves. When they encounter the above situation, they will usually solicit the opinions of their parents or teachers and ask, ‘May I do this? ’, and they will not make unrestrained requirements of rights without permission. In addition to the above two types of kids, there are also a few kids who are always unwilling to get any of their rights restrained. They usually behave very rebelliously. At home, they have a tense relationship with their parents; at school, they contradict with teachers, violate school disciplines, and even interfere with and affect the regular order of the schools. The reason for such situation is that such types of kids are unwilling to get their rights restrained. But it is possible for them to be punished by the schools for improper behaviors, or to break off relations with their parents to run away from home.

Compared with the kids who are unwilling to be restrained,
