Critical review Throughout this unit students will be faced with issues of inequality and human rights, many of which will lead them to reflect upon aspects of their own lives, attitudes, beliefs, thoughts, morals and behaviours ­ some of which may be experienced as quite œconfronting. Through this assignment, it is intended for students to learn to critique their own experiences and preconceived ideas about other people, cultures, religions and political systems. Title Define ˜Human Being’ and describe the œmeaning of ˜Being Human’. How may the limitations of such a definition affect the way human beings treat each other? Topic Though the UDHR was written in response to the rather recent atrocities of WWII discussion/debate about what are appropriate ˜Human Rights’ has an extremely long history in both philosophy and politics. Fundamentally, ˜Human Rights’ are only conferred upon those who are considered to be œhuman (historically not all people have been considered human), which then has implications for the treatment of those considered less­than or other­than human. This paper has 4 parts: 1. Provide a discursive definition (ie. a definition developed through academic reading and argument that goes far beyond a simple dictionary definition) of ˜Human Being’ and the œmeaning of ˜Being Human’. 2. Provide reasons and rationales for your defining criteria. 3. Reflect upon the extent to which your œdefinition may include/exclude certain people from being considered human and œassumptions you held about the œmeaning of ˜Being Human’ at the commencement of this assignment. 4. Illustrate how a definition of œHuman Being can affect how others are treated.
