The intrinsic biological features of a person predetermine the social and moral features of the human.

I primissimi articoli della Dichiarazione Universale dei Diritti Umani e della Convenzione Europea per la salvaguardia dei diritti dell'uomo e delle libertà fondamentali sono chiarissimi: nessuno può essere ridotto in schiavitù, nessuno può essere sottoposto a tortura, a trattamenti inumani e degradanti. Nessuno. Abbiamo creato un sistema di garanzia dei diritti umani per evitare che l'orrore si ripetesse e l'abbiamo fatto dopo averlo visto con i nostri occhi di occidentali, l'orrore. Abbiamo però evitato di dire che i diritti, come gli occhi, erano occidentali.

Cameras that can see through your clothes at 80 paces; council tax rising to cover increased CCTV needs; suggestions that Internet Service Providers should monitor customer usage in the comfort of their own homes; plus ID cards, fingerprint and eyeball recognition on the horizon.

Big Brother: Who is watching you? twitches the curtain and takes a hard look at our increasingly hi-tech, zero privacy society.

Between 1929 and 1974, more than 7,600 North Carolinians were sterilized, sometimes without informed consent and frequently under coercion. The victims, poor men and women from around the state, were never compensated for losing the ability to conceive children.

Do the names Elizabeth Freeman or Charlotte Forten Grimke ring any bells? Have you ever heard of Sarah Mapps Douglass or Maria Fearing? What about Sara Griffith Stanley, Lucy Craft Laney, and Maria Stewart? While these names may not be familiar to you, these women lived faithful and influential lives in a world that was filled with injustice. They worked to change laws, built schools, spoke to thousands, and shared the Gospel all around the world. And while history books may have forgotten them, their stories can teach us so much about how we can live today.

Ferdinand von Schirach über neue, notwendige Menschenrechte. Mit der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung 1776 und der Erklärung der Menschen- und Bürgerrechte 1779 in Frankreich wurden die Grundsteine für unsere moderne Gesellschaft gelegt, für unsere Freiheit und unsere unveräußerlichen Rechte. Das Erstaunliche an diesen Deklarationen ist, dass sie nicht die Wirklichkeit widerspiegelten. Die großen Manifeste der Menschheit verlangten eine Ordnung der Gesellschaft, die es noch nicht gab. Es waren Utopien.

I made this audiobook to chronologize my personal experience of going through the lockdown in Shanghai during the covid-19 ordeal for over 60 days.
