"Are U.S. Efforts to Promote Human Rights Culturally Biased and Self-Serving?"
That is the question to which the answer would decide our foreign policies as well as why and how other nations perceive us as they do. So, in your opinions, is there such a thing as universal morality, or do our morals differ so much that, for example: murder, rape, exploitation of child labor, are viewed as 'normal' to some (even hurtful to the economy if child labor is banned)? Many have said that the US has no right to interfere with how other governments run, but what about in the case of abuse or things that affect humanity and global society? |

^ she means, should nations in general (not JUST the U.S.) intervene in order to promote human rights.
nations need to be more willing to sacrifice lives in order to promote human rights. i mean, that's why soldiers even became soldiers-- as a declaration of their dedication to peacekeeping causes. and if not for the moral cause, nations should be willing to contribute out of selfish causes. the international community is becoming increasingly "one world," and this er.. "interlinked-ness" means that a disaster in one nation will eventually affect other nations, as well, economically, politically, culturally, etc. |
