Helm's School of Government Conference - American Revival: Citizenship & Virtue
The Internet is a double-edged sword because it provides easy access to information of both good and bad intentions. Censorship justifications under whoever deems something misinformation, provide little oversight on being a neutral public forum. For instance, the influence of elections by not covering a story and censoring opposing views does not promote the notion of being a neutral public forum. Artificial intelligence being applied to many technological applications have fueled the censorship machine. In some instances, artificial intelligence can generate stories to media sites (i.e., ChatGPT) with no verification of the details. From science fiction to science reality, taking …
Protecting Women Migrant Workers’ Rights In South Africa: The Need For A Gender-Responsive Framework, Annah Kahari
Protecting Women Migrant Workers’ Rights In South Africa: The Need For A Gender-Responsive Framework, Annah Kahari
Biennial Conference: The Social Practice of Human Rights
Whilst feminisation of migration plays a great role in enhancing the agency of women and improving their socio-economic status it exposes women migrants, to potential risks. Upon arrival in South Africa, women migrant workers suffer multiple layers of discrimination. Important to note is that women's migration pathways and experiences are distinct from those of men and predominantly involve greater exposure to multiple risks. Women migrants are at greater risk of exploitation and abuse, including trafficking, with a greater likelihood to work in less regulated and less visible sectors than men. Using an intersectionality approach, the paper examines the interconnectedness of …

Positioning Public Services In A Rights-Based Economy, Ruth Getobai Nchagwa
Biennial Conference: The Social Practice of Human Rights
COVID-19 pandemic has put spotlight on major injustices at the core of our current economic model which exposes many to shortages and risks and delivers extreme wealth for the few. War in Ukraine, political instability in Africa and increased foreign debts by governments in the global south have led to increased inflation which has put the poorest on the margins. Governments as primary duty bearers are crippled by reduced revenues and high rates of debt servicing which has negatively affected provision of public services . Public services are vital goods and services that provide a foundation for dignified and enriching …
The Declaration Of Independence, Constitution, And Slavery, Johnny B. Davis
The Declaration Of Independence, Constitution, And Slavery, Johnny B. Davis
Helm's School of Government Conference - American Revival: Citizenship & Virtue
The paper address the nature of the principles of the Declaration and the Declaration's relationship to the Constitution and how these related to slavery. The argument is that the Declaration did stand for universal equality of the individual before God and the law and therefore its principles condemned slavery. The Constitution did not embrace slavery even though it failed to ban slavery but did set the foundation for the end of slavery.
Forced Sterilization Of Individuals With Developmental Disabilities: Protection Or Dehumanization?, Kelly J. Schaffter
Forced Sterilization Of Individuals With Developmental Disabilities: Protection Or Dehumanization?, Kelly J. Schaffter
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
The civil rights of individuals with development disabilities have been a great challenge to protect throughout the United States’ history. The United States has not held the protection of this population’s civil rights with proper priority. The country’s actions towards the population of individuals with development disabilities carried into the 20th century, when individuals with mental disabilities were involuntarily sterilized in the name of eugenics. Currently, the goal of the sterilization of this population is for their protection, yet forced sterilization continues to be a questionable practice in regards to ethics. In this paper, I will claim that the forced …

The period from the end of the Civil War until the entry of the United States into World War I was almost a “golden era” for African-Americans in the US military. For the first time, African-Americans could serve in the regular military in peacetime.

Following the Civil War, Federal troops remained in the South, maintaining order and overseeing the Reconstruction period. Black freedmen trusted that they would gain the rights of free men everywhere: the right to vote, the right to education, the right
