This course examines a range of human rights issues, including escalating worldwide slavery, child and sweatshop labor, genocide, and civil, gay/lesbian, disability and women's rights. It also examines acts of human courage, compassion, and kindness and invites students to find in themselves and others sources of deep and abiding humaneness, both as a model of human goodness, and as examples for exploring the ways in which humans can solve our conflicts and stop oppressing and exploiting others.
