Tracey Whare

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Human development requires a commitment to human rights, with greater emphasis on social obligations or responsibilities. If I have a right to education, I also have a duty to educate others, if not directly, then indirectly. If I have a right to life, I also have a duty to make sure others do not starve or suffer out of want, which is beyond their ability to alleviate and which I am able to avert.
