Human Rights and Global Ethics

Global ethics includes topics such as human rights, violence, immigration, health, and climate change. These concerns are global because of the great scale at which they may operate. They are ethical because of their centrality to practically everyone’s life. What you do in a global context affects the lives of others, and so, these issues bring global responsibilities as well. The film follows the historical development of the idea of human rights in the 20th century and moves on to consider other aspects of global ethics. The film considers the idea that we are one global society (cosmopolitanism) and that international institutions may coordinate relationships between different nations to promote that ideal. It concludes with discussion about ways to improve awareness of our obligations to protect human lives and of how our personal actions can have an impact in changing the world as well as the community we live in.
