Bryant Romano Assignment 1
Good evening to all, I would like to introduce myself as Bryant Romano. I am a proud father of two beautiful children. An educator at a public middle school in Harlem whose main duties of the day consist of supporting children with special needs to overcome the challenges that they may encounter, academically, physically, socially and emotionally. This is my second continuous semester from a long break, at which such time off from academia, resulted in the achievement of my wife earning her Bachelor’s degree at City College Center for Workers Education. The main interest in taking this course has to do with fulfilling part of the electives in the academic concentration of History, Politics and Society. It was also a matter of choosing between this course or another. I’ve also taken this course as a fulfillment of knowledge that would cover the different aspects of rights that I’ve learned about. I’ve encountered the many mentioned involvements of female organizations that have supported other organizations in their goals, but never had the chance of analyzing them as a central point.
One of the legal documents of which captivated a groundwork for human rights in the present day, is of an over two-hundred-year old document known as the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. The author Lynn Hunt, mentions in her introductory book of Inventing Human Rights, it’s valued startup debate of generalized expressions of thought. The document sounds that to have a government well founded, it must be enlightened, of having a basic understanding with society, and solemn in respecting the rights of man. (Hunt 16). Not only does it have to be fixated for the benefit of “man” as of its definition of gender, but to the humanistic angle of all types of mankind. As in present day some governments have and are working to include “every society”, from all types of races, genders, religions and socio-economical statuses. Yet, the idea of allowing such rights to be allowed or given, emerged in the past a concern of weather it would bring a more logical understanding to the population or create a disturbance in the traditional ways, moreover creating divisions. Nowadays, such points of views in division have appeared even after composing human rights for groups. Such issues even if they are “self-evident” in the basis of suffering, still need to be emphasized in volume. Such is the case of social media being that tool of which many rely on to gain information. Yet, when there is the lack of understanding the obvious, that of which is processed by the human brain as a fact, that participant lack empathy (Hunt 28). If such pair would not go side by side, which is our humanistic sense of brand of being human, then torture would not be eliminated for those who have endured in the past.
