About Human Wrongs Watch

cropped-westernlowlandgorilla-1.jpgAbout HUMAN WRONGS WATCH

Everybody talks about human ‘rights’ and this is just great.

Nevertheless, human beings have been perpetrating, systematically, all kinds of wrongs–they kill each other, they destroy forests, seas, lands, and atmosphere.

Simply, humans are now more than ever under the mercy of two dominant powers: the ‘market lords’ and the ‘war lords’– everything,  humans included, are now subject to trade deals. 

Human wrongs Watch informs about some of the so many human ‘wrongs’–it’s our way to draw your attention. Maybe this initiative can help correct some of our misdoing.

Perhaps this way we could at least slow down the quick deterioration process in which we were at first mere ‘consumers’ and we have now become just ‘consumed’ items, numbers and figures to attract more and more ads and business.

Welcome to this modest try and to all the “likes” to contribute with fair, independent, documented, balanced news and views, and to disseminating among your friends this absolutely non-profit, non-commercial and not-funded by anybody what-so-ever initiative.

NOTICE: YOU MAY RE-POST HUMAN WRONGS WATCH CONTENTS — ALL YOU NEED IS TO RE-PUBLISH THEM AS THEY ARE, WITH NO MODIFACTIONS, AND TO PROVIDE DUE, VISIBLE LINKS TO BOTH THE SOURCE AND THE ORIGINALS AS  THEY ARE MENTIONED, INCLUDING THE PHOTOS AND THEIR CREDITS AND CAPTIONS.

  1. Human Rights is promoted in wrong perspective. Human Duties are first then rights comes next. Are we doign our duties for society, world and universal creature? If we put this question then there shall not be any wrongs from our side and there shall no need of Rights.
    Yadam Institute of Research which is premier human rights and duties research center promotes duties than rights. If everyone does duty for the world then there is no question of wrong and no need of Duties.

  2. Hello! I just started reading your blog and really enjoy the content so far. I am a bi-cultural woman with Mexican and Minnesotan heritage living in the U.S. More people need to be taking notice of the “human wrongs” you write about. Hope to keep spreading the word about what you write about. Thanks!

  5. With regards to Dr Yadam Ram Kumar’s comment that Human Rights is promoted in the wrong perspective, merely asking the question whether we are “doing our duties for society, world and universal creature” does not automatically result in “no wrongs from our side and [there shall] no needs of rights”. We live in a real world where power over other people is exercised by a minority who disregard their duties towards others. A declaration and legal upholding of rights are necessary to oppose those who abrogate their duties and to protect those who are have less power over their own lives. Dr Kumar has committed the fallacy of a false dilemma also known as false dichotomy which erroneously limits what options are available. Both personal adherence to duties and protection of rights against those who do not adhere to duties are necessary for a peaceful and equitable society.
