(Please critically reflect upon the question and bring in the literature. Answers should be between at least 1000-1500 words (excluding bibliography). 1. Was Hannah Arendt just in her claims against the treatment of A. Eichmann? Given state boundaries, what are the utilities and difficulties of the ICC and ICJ today. Explain using specific examples. 2. To start, is cosmopolitanism achievable? If so, what are some empirical examples of its existence today? Whether it is possible or not, is cosmopolitanism a favorable outcome or does individual state sovereignty provide some benefits? 3. Is cultural relativism a sufficient argument against the creation of the international body of human rights protection (IHRP) as it exists today? In other words, what is natural (universal) about natural rights? 4. How does Civil Society participate in the practice of IHRP? Give specific examples. ) It should be all the information in here: (All the week discussions) --------- Week 1 Discussion Please, answer ONE of the following. 1.) Which of the Human Rights Acts do you find the most important? Please explain. 2.) What is the largest challenge facing international human rights protection today? Has globalization and technology increased awareness and protection? Or, has the development of international trade led to greater levels of exploitation? 250 words students examples:Steven In my humble opinion, when talking about the Human Rights Acts, I believe the most important is Article 15. Which states that "1. Everyone has the right to a nationality. 2. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality. The reason for this is because Nationality, as well as our spiritual beliefs for example, is a part of our identity and our way of being. Our nationality can explain who we are, why we do things, and what we fight for. We our not limited to just a "legal" nationality because of birth, nor can we not be limited to our choices of nationality due to race and religion. This Act gives us a right to be the people that we truly are and express ourselves better. another exampleslucasI find The Universal Declaration of Human Rights the most important. It laid the modern framework for the liberal west's interpretation of human rights and successfully enabled a century-plus long expansion of human rights that translated into historic levels of freedom of speech, guarantee of liberty, and other fundamental human rights across the world.This ties into the second question - what is the largest challenge facing international human rights protection today. As the world order shifts away from one organized around the west towards a multipolar one organized around different power centers, some of which do not espouse western liberalism and democracy but instead authoritarianism, the continued expansion of human rights is threatened, especially in regards to protecting minorities. This trend goes hand- ...

Concept of Morality in Horus Rising: The seeds of heresy are sown and the re...

Quentin Davis

It is important to explore the concept of morality in Horus Rising because it is a text which contains numerous, challenging moral dilemmas. The comparisons made between events in the text and real life examples are intended to enable the reader to apply the arguments raised in this presentation to current topical events, thereby encouraging them to re-evaluate their understanding of morality. In order to successfully accomplish this task we must first determine our own perception of morality. For the purpose of this presentation, morality will be defined as a set of principles that discern between the perception of right and wrong or good and bad behaviour. Most people have an intrinsic sense of what is right and what is wrong. However, when humans are placed in stressful circumstances, these intrinsic values can easily slip away. I will use a New Historicist approach to compare the concept of morality in Horus Rising and the real-life events of the Mỹ Lai massacre. Using a passage from Horus Rising and a court transcript of William Calley (a US serviceman on trial for his involvement in the massacre) and the jury on February 23, 1971, the presentation will explore the concepts of individual vs organisational responsibility, moral accountability and the extent of their impacts on our moral decision-making abilities.

Running head: PROLIFE V. PROCHOICE Women’s Rights and Abortion Jaden Thomas PHI 208: Ethics and Moral Reasoning Prof. ( MACROBUTTON Moreland May 28th, 2019 - 1 - 1 1. Don't forget the title. [Kiel Moreland] SHORTENED TITLE Women’s Rights and Abortion Part 1: Ethical Question Does banning abortion infringe on women’s rights? Part 2: Introduction Roe v. Wade was the 1973 landmark case in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled and secured a woman’s right to abortion. However, this right that was given to women is now being infringed. Kanyoro and Hessini (2017) wrote that today, “…women’s sexual and reproductive rights, including the right to safe, legal and affordable abortion are being attacked and rolled back by those in position of power.” Currently, positions have been in negotiations on abolishing a woman’s right to abortion. As this argument continues to rise, many are choosing sides on this argument, the sides of being pro-choice or pro-life. Someone who is pro-life “…believes that the government has an obligation to preserve all human life, regardless of intent, viability, or quality-of-life concerns…”, whereas someone who is pro-choice “…believes that individuals have unlimited autonomy with respect to their own reproduction systems, as long as they don’t breach the autonomy of others…” (Head, 2019). Moreover, the conflict between pro-life v. pro-choice arises on the issue of abortion. According to our textbook, the U.S. remains divided on the moral decision/support of abortion, in fact, “… results show that 47% of those surveyed identified as pro-choice, and 46% as pro-life… (Saad, 2016)” (Thames, 2018, Ch. 6). This paper will dig deeper and showcase the applied morals and ethics on both sides of the argument in support of the legalization on abortion in respect to women’s rights, or the banning of abortion in support of preserving all human life. - 2 - 1 2 3 1.

Careful in how you break these quotes up. It would be better to have separate sentences rather than breaking them up the way you did here. [Kiel Moreland] SHORTENED TITLE Part 3: Position Statement Women should have unlimited autonomy with respect to their own reproductive systems. Part 4: Reasons in Support of Your Position Everyone woman should be able to decide solely upon herself, when and with whom to start a family with. It was in 1973 when women were granted their constitutional right on abortion, and since then women and other pro-choice supporters have been “…forced to defend it over and over again” (NARAL, n.d.). What about cases of incest, or rape. What about teen pregnancies, or the health and circumstances of the woman. Those are some of many of the circumstances that should be taken into consideration before t.
