i guess i like Mr. Mephisto's rubric...
i'd say the UN declaration is a pretty decent place to start...and i strongly disagree that things such as access to fresh water, or the basic necessities of survival are not human rights or entitlements. i don't know how one would call a society that did not a civilization....it would be nothing more than Burke's hell: the self-serving life that is nasty, brutish and short.
