Class Wednesday, March 16: The golden rule.

 The golden rule

In this class we have discovered the golden rule. It was previously unknown to us andwe did not know that could be applied to many situations.
1. What is the golden rule?The golden rule or ethic of reciprocity is a  maxin, ethical code or morality that essentially states either of the following. One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.
2. Why is the golden rule important to discussing human right?The golden rule is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of human rights.
3. In which culture came define the golden rule?The golden rule define in many culture, for example: China culture, Indian culture, Asia culture.
4. Why do we have to respect the golden rule?Because if we don't respect the principal rule, we can't hope taht the rest of the people respect any ethic rules; and without ethic rules the world won't work.
5. Is it necessary to belong to a religion in other to follow the golden rule?I don't think so, because the golden rule is an ethical rule, and to be aetheist doesn't mean that you haven't got ethical valious.

Class on Monday, March 14: Humans rights

In this class we started reading a book called "Humans Rights. " The book is divided into several topics, which we must answer the corresponding questions.
On this day I did the following questions:

Questions about what is a Right:
1. What right does the student claim to have? What right does the teacher claim to have?My right to have a mobile phone may colide with other people's right, as in this case the right of the other pupils to listen to what the teacher was saying without interruptions.
2. What does it mean to be "entitled to" something?It is to have permission to do something.
3. What is the relationship between rights and duties?Having a right doesn't involve the obligation to enjoy it because, as we will see later on, in that case it would not be a right but a duty.
