Shashi Tharoor‚ "Are Human Rights Universal?" World Policy Journal‚ Vol. XVI‚ No. 4 (Winter 1999/2000) The growing consensus in the West that human rights are universal has been fiercely opposed by critics in other parts of the world.

how smart you are at doing tasks. People can state strong opinions saying that one intelligent person is smarter another. But this is an opinion.
