#213 Maurice Cranston, “Human Rights, Real and Supposed”

11/17/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Norman Rockwell's "Four Freedoms" reinterpreted by Emily Shur and Hank Willis Thomas, For Freedoms, 2018.
Looking ahead to Thanksgiving:
  • What are you grateful for?

Check for understanding

Student-led discussion
  • Today and tomorrow we’ll be hearing from two critics of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
  • Cranston’s argument is clear and well-structured. I suggest using a with-the-grain/against-the-grain strategy in analyzing and responding to his piece. Leadership for today’s discussion will rest with all of you. 

Homework: Assignment #214.
  • Please take paper handout.
  • Note I have added “consider” questions to the assignment that might help guide your reading. Based on feedback I’ve received, I’ll start doing this more regularly.
