    If your career as a history teacher doesn't work out, you could make very nice meditation CDs. I love your voice.

  • I really enjoyed listening to you and how easy it was to follow. You have an excellent voice and you don't put learners to sleep. You made the information so easy to absorb and understand. Wish we had more people like you teaching - watched everything you posted on Human rights - really helped me tons with my own assignments, thank you!

    Human rights ARE permanent! They have always been and always will be. True, they have been recognised only recently, but they are universal and inalienable, they are NOT optional conventions, and their existence is not due to utilitarian trends! I would have appreciated to hear you mention in virtue of WHAT they have been determined to exist. And also in virtue of what they can be waived. Huge error to present individual rights transition into collective rights, they are very different things, and very hard to reconcile. Unlike human rights that apply to ALL individuals, collective rights represent the interests of various sub-groups. And one taking precedence over the other always seems to lead to conflict, even disaster.
  • In your presentation I wish you include some references ,, books that you read etc. nice job.. very clear..

    Life's weird in the historical social studies realm. Also, weirder there's already cds, brochures, magazines, radio press and many more but with the wrong reputation cover within Human Rights

    Thank you for this video. I'm learning quite a lot.
  • This is a great simplification of the problem. Where is all the traction of natural law and natural right, with which Locke came from? Where is Aquinas, School of Salamanca, where finally is Bartolome de las Casas (Indian rights)? Moreover, feudal peasants were not slaves. They were "glebae adscripti". Their occupation was hereditary, and they were not the talking instrument, the thing, the property.

    John Locke's natural rights are generally "life, liberty, health and possessions" in his won words ^^!
