making sure the animals are fit, healthy and meet with the standards of BIAZA. I feel it is important to protect our wildlife from poachers and extinction and if this means captivity and breading for some time I think it is the lesser of two evils to continue doing so in the right conditions. It is encouraging to know that our county…
In majority of college campuses today free speech is not only encouraged but also emphasized to be one of the most important rights a civilian could have, but is it abused or simply just taken out of context? Free speech is one of the most common rights used all over campuses throughout the nation. We often see protestors against animal cruelty and more recently against the results to the 2016 election, as well as organizations trying to raise awareness for certain causes such as global warming.…
Argue for or against the normative claim that human rights are universal. The topic of whether human rights are universal, will be critically analysed and debated, in relation to understanding what it means to have rights, cultures and moral perspectives in a multicultural world today. Human rights are necessary and can be divided into political and moral rights, which can allow a more open view towards accepting differing systems and traditions. However, this raises a few concerns, as to…
Before color became standard neutral as a means for providing individual rights, the struggle for equality of race and color was an ongoing battle in the United Stated. The civil rights movement was a big obstacle detangled piece by piece by the man and women who wanted a safer environment for oncoming generations. Race and color was a median my which the law restricted and segregated individuals who didn’t look alike or fit into the same category. Huey Newton was one of these prominent…
ideas of the “common good” and “human rights” that seem to elude societies all around the world. The common good refers to promoting a positive action that promotes society as a whole. Human rights refer to every human being, if they be wealth or poor to have the same rights as each other and that those rights can never be taken away, that every human soul is equal. In today’s world, we can see the struggles of trying to live together, that the civil rights movement is rising to the surface of…
Inclusive education has come about in New Zealand as a response to global concerns that all children and young people with disabilities have the right to access and complete an education that is responsive to their needs and relevant to shaping their lives in a positive and meaningful way (United Nations, 1989). In New Zealand, this model of inclusion has been built into the school curriculum and implemented across the country (Ministry of Education, 2007; Education Act, 1989). However, before…
Fitting in is one thing that multiple people want to be able to accomplish without having to change who they are as a person. They want to be given the chance to fit equally into a place where they don’t feel like an outcast. Social equality is described as the same status in certain respects, which includes freedom of speech, property rights and equal access to certain social goods and services. The existing differences amongst others in today’s society lead to racism which causes individuals…
pressures to be circumcised, especially since your prospects for marriage within the cultural group decrease when you are uncircumcised, influence the decision to be cut. This is coercion, which is against liberal values. The true, independent, individual right of a girl to choose takes precedence over the cultural custom of circumcision for Okin, since without these liberal values infused into each culture, the differences within the culture can cause harm to women as coercion and as the…
Upon recognizing how challenging it is to reconcile the tensions that arise in a modern liberal society as a result of cultural diversity, it becomes increasingly clear as to why Jean Jacques Rousseau conceptualized his ideal state as a homogenous one . That is not to say that cultural diversity is not valuable and should not be promoted, but rather that Rousseau, as many of us often are, was inclined to take the easy way out. Nevertheless, as zo0oz perceives, cultural diversity should be…
altered to meet the needs of either an individual or society. Throughout history, people have struggled to balance the rights of individuals and society, not only in families, but also at schools, businesses, and communities.
