I was quite surprised - there was hardly anything said about it - Under justice "The idea of justice is treated in the following articles: ethics, human rights, law, Western philosophy of - natural law and procedural law. The titles of these articles indicate the fields of scholarship or thoughts in which the idea of justice plays an important role." Under social - I found anything but justice mentioned." i.e. social, insurance, dance, control, contract, democracy, groups, facilitation, class mobility, social services, etc." I know my books are quite old, seems to me that social justice has always been part of the human condition, however, I might be wrong, I often am. One of my comments above was:"I feel for you. You fought the good fight." The reasons why I said that is that if I had been in your position , I would have done exactly the same.- I would have been a conscious objector - To my mind, I cannot understand how one body of persons can decide what is good for you or not. It is a personal choice and no one detains the whole truth. If you live in a democracy, democracy means for the people. The fact that journalists can no longer exercise their profession without fear of reprisals is a grave abuse of human rights. It is happening all over the world regardless. More and more of them are dying in combat just for reporting the truth.Something has to be done about that. It appears to me that so-called laws are put in places, however, never act upon. It just looks good on paper. Journalists and anyone who is protesting is under arrest, subject to torture and declared "mad", how convenient! Are we just a number? It appears so. Human rights abuse to me includes - sexual violence towards women and young children, genocides,racism, repression, prisoners of conscience, prisoners of wars, colonialism and its treatment with the natives,repression of the media and psychological abuse of prisoners ,drugs, etc, etc. Conflicts are happening everywhere and we seem to be turning a blind eye on them. Bosnia, Russia, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Israel, Palestine, Rwanda, Burma, Vietnam, China, Bulgaria, Congo, Zimbabwee . Burrundi, Turkey, Uruguay, Nicaragua, and the list goes on. I want to know : when is something going to be done about restoring peace? Just a thought that is all, Thanks Paulo for bringing this matter to our attention. Love Dear Paulo,
