Our topic for this project will be Human Rights. For many years now, this has been a broad area of law and aspect of human life that has been in contestation from all aspects of life. Human Rights, in my thinking, is humanity itself. That is to say, in absentia of it, then humanity lacks meaning, and that is why they are called ‘ human’ Rights, not ‘something’ else rights. Human Rights are the core of human rights. This is a very important area of law for me to tackle and deliver my thinking, agreeing and disagreeing with other thinkers in this area, and a crucial part of humanity. (Hamm, 2001).
Why do I claim that Human Rights are important? I will base my arguments on the ideal mind of Aristotle because I happen to lean toward his reasoning, and I will apply that to my topic. The proclamation that there is no theory on human rights policy on Aristotle can be addressed in any other way. One way is to realize that Aristotle did not have a human rights record. Indeed, his important views on political philosophy are surprisingly different because he needs to emphasize ideas such as merit, fairness, constitutional participation, and citizenship. In Aristotle, as in Latin, it shows the equality of purpose of the people with regard to fortune-telling goods and on the way to a few transactions. (Kraut, 2021).
Citizens may humbly have exousia, such as Latin potestas, but this exousia is present and is largely based on the last few declarations of merit. In the end, the Kurios period represents de facto control, or each time the power to legislate, but not the vulnerability of the official ban.
The Importance of Human Rights: They are basic rights that all people have by definition since we are human beings. They exemplify important societal principles such as justice, dignity, equality, and respect. They are a crucial source of protection for all of us, especially those who may be subjected to abuse, neglect, or isolation. Most significantly, these rights provide us power, allowing us to speak up and demand a negative answer from government authorities.
What needs to be solved concerning Human rights? From time to time, human rights should be solved by coming up with a concrete set of laws dealing effectively with abusers. Otherwise, if that is not done, then the idea of humanity lacks meaning.
Which Philosopher comes in with this topic of mine, Human Rights? The best Philosopher for me concerning humans, in my opinion, is Aristotle. Aristotle lays his foundation of argument on idealism. That is to say that Reality and knowledge of things acquire independent of the mind that perceives them. That is to say that Reality is extra mental and not instrumental. This means that Reality exists outside the mind that perceives it and not in mind as ideas.
To apply this realism of my teacher Aristotle, I will do it realistically and systematically. Although I don’t claim expertise on human rights, I believe you will find my argument persuasive.
Human Rights should be perceived using Reality according to the realism school of thinking. We cannot say we have human rights when we can’t make it real rather than just ideas in our heads. Aristotle’s argument that ethical systems should be guided by Reality is acceptable to me in that we should concentrate on what is real. This means that human rights should be practically enforced rather than just ideas in our system like the constitution.
I will end by supporting my argument using Socrates, who happens to be the teacher of Aristotle, that human reason should be applied in society rather than just doctrinal and theological writings or ideas. Human Rights are real, not just ideas!
