Publication
2013.
Summary/Abstract
Human rights have been described as those minimal rights that every individual must have by virtue of his being a member of human family irrespective of any other consideration. They are based upon mankind's demand for a life in which the inherent dignity of a human being will receive respect and consideration. These rights are essential liberties taken for granted as the basis for a just and civilized society and are not subjected to political bargaining or calculation of social interest. The concept of human rights is old and rooted in history. From ancient times to modern day human rights in various forms have been the cultural heritage of all mankind. In 1968 as a part of the contribution to International Human Rights Year, the UNESCO published a collection of texts entitled "The Birth Right of Man" which illustrated the concept of human rights from different cultural traditions and periods of history. Ideology of human rights is thus not the exclusive product of Western Europe.

Status of women as a standard of civilization
/ Towns, Ann
Towns, Ann
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication
2009.
Summary/Abstract
This article focuses on the status of women as a standard of civilization by examining its emergence in the 19th-century European 'society of civilized states.' More specifically, the article centers on expectations about the proper political role of women and how these operated as a standard to distinguish 'civilized' states from other societies. The article shows that the political exclusion of women - not their inclusion - became expected behavior for 'advanced' societies at this time. To statesmen and social scientists alike, evidence from 'savage' society and an uncivilized European past demonstrated that women could not contribute to human advancement if given a political role. To arrive at this claim, the article examines the understandings that had come into place to make the political exclusion of women possible and reasonable for European and European settler states.
