Growing Human Rights and Values in Education
The world without social interaction is unimaginable. Our lives are connected to others, and we must establish ground rules to regulate our interactions. These rules are based on values, morals, and fundamental rights, serving as our guiding principles. However, the constantly changing world challenges these rules as we witness social systems crumbling due to moral decay and lack of ethics. This forces us to reflect on values and human rights and how they anchor our lives and communities. The book delves into these issues, aiming to help students and teachers understand our complex world and the need to rediscover, redefine, and reinvent values and human rights in order to build a strong democracy. Ultimately, it is not about teaching and learning these principles but rather living and embracing them in society.
