Humanitarian Intervention Humanity as a basis value for all individuals, we all born with equality in terms of human dignity and rights. These rights must be respected and cannot be violated by other people or even state. This notion is seemed to contradict with the real situation that occurs in the world since the violation of people is likely to increase.

anthropologists such as Franz Boas, Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict contested the norms that preceded the study (166). These progressive scholars and their interpretations emphasised that previous understandings of anthropology and the divergences found in human societies were severely limited in scope.
