The cultural rights movement has provoked attention to protect the rights of groups of people, or their culture , in similar fashion to the manner in which the human rights movement has brought attention to the needs of individuals throughout the world. Protecting a culture Cultural rights focus on groups such as religious and ethnic minorities and indigenous societies that are in danger of disappearing. Cultural rights include a group s ability to preserve its way of life, such as child rearing, continuation of language , and security of its economic base in the nation, which it is located. The related notion of indigenous intellectual property rights IPR has arisen in attempt to conserve each society s culture base and essentially prevent ethnocide . The cultural rights movement has been popularized because much traditional cultural knowledge has commercial value, like ethno medicine, cosmetics, cultivated plants, foods, folklore , arts, crafts, songs, dances, costumes, and rituals . Studying ancient cultures may reveal evidence about the history of the human race and shed more light on our origin and successive cultural development. However, the study, sharing and commercialization of such cultural aspects can be hard to achieve without infringing upon the cultural rights of those who are a part of that culture.
