Human Rights Education

Summary/Abstract: While the new information technologies and the new trends with the development of the economic processes entail the acceleration of globalization, the specific state of the common mind seems to be still far from embracing visions that weren't just global, but based upon mankind's universally shared values, some to find the balance between preserving diversity and adjusting themselves to the universal structures of world economy. Bearing in mind the decisive importance of education to values, the author points out the need for a philosophical approach to present-day world problems, for what characterizes philosophy is the effort to identify unifying principles, to reflect about what unifies and complements things, to discover unity in diversity. Without offering directly applicable solutions, the philosophical approach has positive effects upon increasing the humane quality of the social environment, emphasizing on such feelings as solidarity and responsibility. However, human rights education should be part of any educational undertaking for a high quality education shall involve all sectors of society, which should develop proactive educational policies in partnership with the educational system.
