Question Description
I’m working on a humanities discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
Beyond what the United Nations has declared about human rights, in this section we’ll be inquiring further into the theory, nature and practice of human rights, which unfortunately has often meant understanding the many ways in which human rights have been violated. But what are the moral and political groundings of human rights? Hannah Arendt famously declared in The Origins of Totalitarianism that a right to have rights exists only within the framework of citizenship in a nation-state. Was Arendt correct in pointing to this limit? Can the demand for human rights be meaningful to stateless people? And what does a social movement mean when it invokes or supports a demand for human rights?
