Do We And Humans Mean The Same Thing?

One of the more troubling question confronted by society is the one that asks who “we” are, and relates this to humanity that is assumed by human rights. Do “we” and “humans” mean the same thing? Does that fact that we obtain rights make us human? It cannot be denied by advocates of human rights that it rests in the hands of an entity that has the power to grant rights and to not grant them according to the particular aspects of society they deem to be fitting. This entity grants rights and regulates their exceptions and limits. Society allows it in order to gain economic security and advantage. It is to no surprise that Arendt arrived at a grim conclusion for humanity and the existence of “we” as humans in the years following 1945. This “we”

The formation of nations and sovereign states whether by separation or union has historically been promoted by common external threats. Following the events of World War I the entirety on Europe put all blame on Germany for the causes of the war. The ramifications of peace were dealt with by population politics, exchanges, national homogeneity, international protocol, and enhancement of power and as discussed before self-determination of states and national populations. It was declared that to “every civilized people, a state,” and that every populations should be international recognized and sanctioned into their own borders. This national homogeneity stated that British live in Britain, French in France, etc. This enhanced the power of the state itself however as history shows the power rested solely in the hands of the head of state. Germany was the exception and because of the claim that Germany was to blame for the war it was rationalized to take every single oversea territory away from them. They were left with an unobtainable sized debt, a bad reputation and were willing to turn to anyone for direction and leadership. Hitler was a man who had a profound conception for human rights, but applied his political theory to only those he deemed worthy of those rights. He was said to have developed his extreme nationalism during this time, desiring to save

For while it leans more toward a divine authorization of human rights, it too is intimately linked to the founding of a power that limits those rights on the basis of citizenship. Human rights become in practice, and more often than not in rhetoric, civil rights. A civil right is an enforceable right or privilege given by the state. In terms of the Holocaust, Adolf Hitler did not see the Jews along with other dismissible minorities worth, said rights and because he was so highly sought after for leadership following World War I his actions were supported and dismissed by the citizens of Germany. Bordering counties of Germany as well as the rest of the world found nothing sacred in the abstract nakedness of being a human when they chose to stay silent. In spite of everything that was rumored to be or was discovered factual when humanity in Europe was confronted with a challenge to uphold human rights, they failed. No one stepped up, the government; state institution and collective bodies did not try and prevent this from happening or stop it from escalating. Human rights only exist in political bodies and are essentially paradoxical in the fact that they can nonetheless be denied to those human beings not members of a political community or a nation. The right to dream does not figure in the 30
