Would you argue that we ever truly entered an era of human rights? Compare your answer to how Henkin views human rights as "the idea of our time" to support your claim. ]]> 2023-06-01 02:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611195392 Overall Arguments and Thoughts jordag3 https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611195640 2023-06-01 02:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611195640 Overall Arguments and Thoughts jordag3 https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611195811 2023-06-01 02:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611195811 Discussion Question 1 - Jordan jordag3 https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611196042

How does the concept of military humanism, the use of force and violence for a humanitarian cause, challenge the traditional principles of state sovereignty?

They explain how African human rights advocates have done work to shift human rights from its narrow Eurocentric roots, and other countries in the Global South have struggled to implement western UN-driven human rights applications. How does this draw upon the idea of cultural relativism, and can human rights be adapted to different cultural contexts? Use a reading from Week 6 and draw upon our past discussions of cultural relativism within human rights to support your answer. ]]> 2023-06-01 02:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611222630 Discussion Question 3 - Luke https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611424185 Considering the shortcomings of international human rights, do you think that the era of human rights as the "idea of our time" is over and how do you see the future of international human rights developing?]]> 2023-06-01 06:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611424185 Discussion Question 2 - Megan https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611542307 According to Douzina (pg. 172-174, 179), how does the idea of a "new moral order" highlight some of the human rights related contradictions discussed throughout the class so far?]]> 2023-06-01 08:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611542307 Discussion Question 3 -Azra https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611996793 After all the readings and discussions, how would you define human rights? What components are necessary to protect human rights? Who is protected under human rights (please consider humanism in your answer)? ]]> 2023-06-01 16:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2611996793 Discussion Question 4 - Luke https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2612017557 Do you think a "justified war" is an oxymoron? How do you evaluate if a war is justified or if it's just political posturing?]]> 2023-06-01 16:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2612017557 Discussion Question 5 - Luke https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2612194861 Do you think military humanitarianism is an example of what David Harvey called, "creative destruction"? Why or why not?]]> 2023-06-01 20:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2612194861 Making Connections - Megan https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2612202486 Drawing from either of the two readings (Matua and Douzina), what connections can you make to past readings from this class? Did you notice any overlap in arguments? Did any of the examples posed by the authors make you think back to themes from previous readings?

We highly suggest answering this question (or keeping it in mind as you answer other questions) and interacting with other responses, as it will help prepare you for the final paper. :)]]> 2023-06-01 20:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jordag3/s71d6k2zhhaoybq8/wish/2612202486
