American language of rights and democracy
Abstract
The article explores the link between the language of rights
and democracy. The author asks whether the dominance of the
language of rights in the United States is responsible for the overall
condition of American democracy, and the lack of such dominance
may have a negative impact on the Polish public sphere.
The beginning of the article describes the problems with translating
the word „right” from English into Polish. In the next part, the
different forms and types of rights are described. Then, a meaning
of the „language of rights” is presented. Other languages of public
discourse are mentioned for comparison. The consequences and
functions of the language of law for the public sphere and democracy
are widely discussed. The critical voices about the impact
of rights are examined. Finally, the article answers the question
about the role of rights in the Polish public sphere and democracy.
