Improving Human Rights and Development

[Tomas]

It is not difficult to find negative aspects of the practice of
globalization, democracy and development. I am more positive to human
rights. Galtung (1996) discusses if there is “a common human thing”
which could be the secret of cooperation and prosperity for mankind. I
will in this essay argue that this is an extremely important question
in a global and unequal world which obviously does not respect each
others differences.

The above is an extract from Line Løvåsens essay "Improving Human
Rights and Development". This essay was ranked among the top ten essay
in Human Rights Defence's Essay competition 2008. If you would like to
