American History: Rights and Freedoms of Women in the 1600's

Whilst it is true that each country and region may have its own concept of justice and ways of doing things, and that the Western concepts of justice and its norms, are inapplicable to a different country, nevertheless there are some human rights issues that transcend countries and boundaries. These human rights issues can only be recognized if one takes a transcendental stance compared to a narrow stance. It is by recognizing existence of these human rights issues that America can transcend its national limited perspective and involve itself too in a social work pose that effects international concerns and involves itself with concerns and obligations that transcend borders. In another way, also, the US is never separate from social work issues that occur outside its perimeters. Immigrants from other countries seek refuge int eh US on a continuous basis. Even immigrants who do not seek refuge flock to the US to live and these immigrants, in turn, become the fabric and mesh of the country. With them, they bring their original country's customs and ways of social relationship. Many of these diametrically differ from those of the US and oftentimes they may frequently militate to the norms of social work and dictates of human rights that are practiced int eh US. By the US understanding practices of social work that operate outside of its borders and, occasionally, involving themselves in dealing with injustices and violations of human rights, the US may be better equipped to not only help the immigrants whoa arrive in the US but also to prevent these same flagrances from contaminating their own country. Another incidental benefit that occurs is simply appreciation of one's life and the broadening of one's own values as well as one's humanity. By realizing, for instance, that whilst many of us spend at least $2.00 on a daily cappuccino whilst children in another part of the world are dying daily form lack of mosquito bites – involving ourselves in reaching out to help those less fortunate than ourselves can expand our character and humanness on both an indivdiual and national scale. Becoming a more magnanimous and open country as well as being more sensitive to people's plights and more aware of the problems of those outside of our perimeters can only serve to the good of our nation. It distracts us form the greediness that, as foremost capitalist nation of the world, we are apt to sink into and makes us realize that we are, in reality, interconnected. Each country impact the other. The fact that we are blessed with a greater amount of wealth can be used to help deal with the social world problems of those less fortunate than us.
