What are human rights? Are they laid out definitively in the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the US Bill of Rights? Are they items on a checklist—dignity, justice, progress, standard of living, health care, housing? In The Most Human Right, Eric Heinze explains why global human rights systems have failed. International organizations constantly report on how governments manage human goods, such as fair trials, humane conditions of detention, health care, or housing. But to appease autocratic regimes, experts have ignored the primacy of free speech. Heinze argues that goods become rights only when citizens can claim them publicly and fearlessly: free speech is the fundamental right, without which the very concept of a “right” makes no sense. Heinze argues that throughout history countless systems of justice have promised human goods. What, then, makes human rights different? What must human rights have that other systems have lacked? Heinze revisits the origins of the concept, exploring what it means for a nation to protect human rights, and what a citizen needs in order to pursue them. He explains how free speech distinguishes human rights from other ideas about justice, past and present.Mostra libro
This book bundle explores the military prowess, resistance strategies, and conquests of three formidable warrior civilizations in the Americas: the Mapuche Empire, the Mixtec Empire, and the Tarascan Empire. These societies, known for their resilience, strategic warfare, and ability to challenge powerful enemies, played crucial roles in shaping the history of their regions. Discover the Mapuche Empire, a fierce and independent people of southern South America who resisted Inca and Spanish invasions for centuries. Renowned for their adaptability in battle, use of guerrilla warfare, and iron determination, the Mapuche warriors held their ground against colonial forces longer than most indigenous groups in the Americas. Unravel the history of the Mixtec Empire, a civilization known for its skilled warriors, masterful diplomacy, and sophisticated city-states spread across Oaxaca. Famous for their codices and intricate metallurgy, the Mixtec people engaged in both military conquest and strategic alliances to expand their influence and protect their lands from rival forces. Explore the Tarascan Empire, a powerful rival of the Aztecs that built a highly organized military state in western Mexico. Unlike most Mesoamerican civilizations, the Tarascans developed advanced metal weapons and defensive fortifications, allowing them to successfully resist Aztec expansion and maintain their sovereignty until the arrival of the Spanish. From relentless resistance to tactical supremacy, these warrior societies shaped the course of history through their unwavering spirit and military innovations. This book is perfect for history enthusiasts eager to learn about the fearless civilizations that defied conquest and fought for their survival.Mostra libro
