Abstract
This article discusses social discrimination in organizations. The objective is to reflect on the concepts that support the understanding of the relationship between human rights and citizenship to better comprehend the issue of respect for diversity in organizations as something more complex than the opportunism to increase profitability. It is based on bibliographical and documentary research as a preliminary approach, therefore without the pretension of exhausting the problematic. It concludes that citizenship can be better understood if regarded in the perspective of the double intersection between civil rights and civic rights. Civic rights refer to a universal sense of the rights of the person, of a people and of the human species itself.
