Michael Penn on Human Rights and the Development of Human Capabilities
Manage episode 359848830 series 3379405
Michael Penn, a professor of psychology and a trained clinical psychologist, explores the evolution of the concept of human rights over the past century and discusses why the unfoldment of a culture of respect for the dignity of the individual is essential to catalyse the creation of conditions in societies that will contribute to human development. Why should the primary role of government be linked to the creation of those conditions that will facilitate the development of people’s latent capacities? Why should we include in our educational systems the concept of altruism and why is authenticity in human relationships at the basis of human progress? How can people avoid becoming stuck in hopelessness and instead feel that they are contributing to building up a sustainable future that will not sap people´s zest for life?
