Cultural compromise is the process by which concepts reach “overlapping consensus” through cyclic interactions of generalization and specialization.It consists of three stages：neutralization，differentiation and harmonization.For hundreds of years，the concept of human rights has gradually been accepted by countries with different cultures in the world by realizing cultural compromise in the process of global communication.The concept of human rights was born with its limitations.After a slow process of neutralization，the publication of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights（1948）marked that it became a common accepted concept of the matrix.Since then，the concept of human rights has been divided on a large scale，integrating with the actual needs of various regions.The content has been continuously expanding and many new human rights claims were formed.The differentiation reached a climax before the World Conference on Human Rights（1993）.The harmonization of human rights concepts is mainly reflected in the human rights conventions and declarations formulated by the United Nations after the Second World War and marked by the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action（1993）.The concept of human rights has been constantly enriched and shown great vitality in the cultural compromise which is the cycle of the three stages of neutralization，differentiation and harmonization.
