Human rights, no matter how much they may differ across cultures, mean the same thing; human beings need things that are justifiably sound. Editor Jacqueline Langwith has compiled a number of fantastic essays that debate human rights. Her collection of essays answer what rights are, what we should do to stop abuse of human rights, and what the U.S. needs to do to support human rights. Should human rights be universal? Does Islamic law threaten human rights? Should the U.S. intervene in Darfur? Does the U.S. do enough to uphold the rights of women? These hard-hitting queries are evenly and emphatically debated through essays that state a viewpoint and back it up with facts. Your reader's critical thinking skills are activated, allowing them to develop intelligent viewpoints of their own. Essay sources include Faisal Kutty, Azam Kamguian, Louay M. Safi, the Integrated Regional Information Networks, U.S. State Department, and the Information Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China. Former library book.
