In Chapter one of Samuel Moyn’s “the rights of man” different than ” the concept of human rights”
Human beings are the existence of a living being. The origin of human beings originated from birth and linked to human rights. Thereafter, we assign one’s state of being derived from religion, science and theory. We assigned distinctions based on gender, color and faith. A title was given to all beings, whereas human beings were assigned an extension of belonging. They were labeled under slavery, unequal rights for women, and unequal rights for workers. Further enslavement occurred under particular organizational rule, communism, nationalism and democracy. The ‘rights of man “under a particular concept (nationalism) exhibited different liberties than “human rights” under democracy. The “rights of man” are recast under Nationalism and changed over a period of time. This concept was linked to various ideas. During Nationalism the French exhibited the challenges they faced. The “rights of men” was a transformation that occurred over a decade after the French Revolution. In The Last Utopia according to Samuel Moyn’s, the “rights of man was a pathway to very fast reformation. The “rights of man” dramatic change coexisted during the revolutionary age. The transformation occurred under the course of the French Revolution. The French headed in a brand new direction because they were basically impacted by American rights. But, Nationalism adversity was stuck between the actual practice and the idea. Of course, theory quickly created a desire toward democracy; however, the actual action was slow moving. Nationalism was a deeply implanted behavior. Their laws grasped the authority of the individual’s rights. This attitude deprived the Rights of Man. As stated by Thomas Paine’s in The Rights of Man (1791) every declaration of rights at the time (and until recently) was implicitly what the French openly labeled theirs: a declaration of the rights of man and citizen. Rights were neither independent arguments nor countervailing forces, and were always announced at the moment of founding the polity, and justifying its erection and often its violence. The “rights of man” were about a whole people incorporating itself in a state (Pg. 25). While some people believed nationalism was not violating an individual’s rights, others maintain that slavery, women’s repression and worker’s excluded as citizens was one form of nationalism. This brings to mind, the war on immigrants. Presently we are in a democracy, yet authorities have attempted to control who comes into American based on the ethnicity. Also, all efforts have been made to transport immigrants.
On the contrary, according to What are Human Rights, “ Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status. We are all entitled to our human rights without discrimination” (pg. 1). This brings to mind, present day incidents whereas human beings are being discrimination against based on their nationality, ethnicity, religion and color. As seen recently, in the airport Mohammed Ali Junior (the son of Ex-Heavy weight world champion of boxing) was detained at the airport. He was stopped by authorities who inquired about his religious faith.
Further transformations occurred under democracy rule. Human rights almost always fought to enhance life and happiness. Human beings became concerned about improved success and or improved happiness. And authorities crafted laws to dictate the rules to follow and obtain human rights. To be sure the laws of principle were followed we expected government to sustain our “human rights”. Contrary to the above statements government has taken a different route. This brings to mind, presently government’s moral displacement. Under a particular ruling we have witnessed government’s cruelty towards the banning of refugees. Ultimately, many people will be killed under this ruling.
