Values represent our subjective, personal principles which typically, but not always, help guide our beliefs, attitudes, and actions and determine what is important to us (Hawkes, 1996, Halstead, 1996). They are distinct from our characteristics as they are not perceptible, are largely shaped by our experiences (good and bad), and inform what we believe to be morally right (Heilbronn, 2018; Roccas, Sagiv, et al., 2002). These core values have an ethical foundation as they determine our treatment of others and...

In so far as the individual has claims upon his fellows to a non-interference upon their part with the free exercise of certain outward acts, such claims have no legal force except as recognized and enforced by the political power.” (Waldrep and Curry, The Constitution and the Nation: The Regulatory...

According to the US Census, about 28 million Americans in 2017 were uninsured, an increase compared to 2016’s figures.

The challenge regarding human rights that I would like to discuss is women's rights, including their right to life, health, and safety. More specifically, their rights during domestic abuse, their reproductive rights, and the application of the right to life of women.
