    Biff’s Monologue: Train Ride Home After Finding Out That Willy Was Cheating on Linda “I just couldn’t even begin to understand where Willy got the idea that hanging out with that woman was okay. Imagine my immense shock when I entered his room up in Boston and saw her prostrated upon the bed, giggling and openly flirting with Willy. Not only did he cheat on my mother, but he looked right into my eyes and told me a boldfaced lie. It was as if he thought i wasn’t smart enough to figure out what was going on. It was rather obvious that she was more than just one of his “buyers.”…

    The major points of the reading are; how the authors created an interdisciplinary channel of communication for the topic of public actions and culture. Thus, how it goes into depth and explains how social science has the potential to be more practical and engage with public action and policy. Furthermore, this continues to show how there are differences and similarities with development policy. Also, the cultural lens brings a variety of inferences for showing the world of action and to take a look at the issues of empowerment and inequality.…

    As stated in the paragraph above, it should be made clear that most institutions approach social justice in a similar fashion, which can be generalized as a common understanding of human rights and valuing human dignity. Despite this, a vast number of advocacy groups have emerged in recent years in response to political discourse and human rights concerns. Their primary focus is not just in economically depressed parts of the world, but within their own borders as well. These groups actively promote innovative solutions to social challenges and new ways of thinking about such issues. The…

    The civil society as identified by Khallaf (2010) comprises “non-governmental organizations (NGOs hereafter), community groups, professional associations, trade unions, media organizations, research institutes/ think tanks, and advocacy and human rights civil society organizations” (p.2). However, the current paper aims at focusing mainly on the role of NGOs in strengthening democracy. This is due to the major role NGOs play in several areas in order to enhance democracy. Among these are their role in: (1) allowing a wider range of interest groups to have a ‘voice’, pluralizing institutions to act in a ‘watchdog’ role vis-à-vis the state, networking and creating alliances of civic actors to place pressure on the state, (2) working with grassroots organizations comprised of poor and marginalized groups, and (3) exerting some pressures on the state by pressing for change and developing alternative policies (Mercer, 2002).…

    The UN and its human rights-related bodies have always played a key role in Amnesty’s activities in the international sphere. As Amnesty International perceives interaction with IGOs as highly important for promoting human rights standards, co-operation with them forms part of its mandate. Laid out in its statutes, Amnesty seeks to ‘encourage intergovernmental organizations to support and respect human rights’. Amnesty drives a large programme of activities with the UN. It also works together with specialized agencies of the UN such as the International Labour Organization and the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Amnesty has maintained relations with the UN since the 1960s when it recognized it could use the UN to achieve its objectives. Over the years, it has established a leading position among internationally operating human rights NGOs. Today, it is one of the largest and most active human rights organizations…

Sadly, progress on meeting these goals has been slow and sporadic.…
