The dominance of Western perspectives in human rights discourse can lead to biases and limitations in understanding and addressing human rights violations worldwide. Western-centric interpretations may overlook or marginalize non-Western perspectives, experiences, and priorities, contributing to cultural imperialism and the imposition of Western values on diverse societies. #Challenges of Western-Centric Framing:

many international norms, especially those related to human rights, have Western origins. This raises questions about the legitimacy and applicability of these norms in non-Western contexts. Critics argue that the insistence on adopting these norms can reflect a form of cultural hegemony, where Western values are positioned as superior.

Researcher / Data Analyst / Writer / Aspiring Podcast Host / Independent Political Observer Views expressed reflect my own point of view only and not those of my employer
I will be making an oral presentation at Liberty's 2024 Helms School of Government Public Policy Conference titled, "The Dueling First Amendment Clauses: Are they in Tension, or do they Work Together?" during the afternoon of Wednesday, April 10th during a breakout session, "Philosophy, Politics, and Virtue" from 3:15-4:10 p.m. in Demoss 2610. The content of this presentation will examine the historical meaning of the First Amendment, and will argue that constitutional interpretation of religious liberty has erred from the founders' design for America in a direction that is too secular, and will examine how we as American citizens can work to return to a culture that emphasizes the Founders' original design for America in the context of religious liberty, in light of modern day issues.

1/2: **Title: The Role of Tangential Thinking in Addressing Racial Bias and Promoting Justice: Insights from Historical Movements** 3. **American Revolution:** The American Revolution provides an example of tangential thinking in its conceptual break from the prevailing British colonial governance model. The colonists’ shift towards a democratic republic was a significant departure from the monarchial system, emphasizing individual freedoms and democratic governance, which were not priorities under British rule. **Application in a Diverse Society Like New Zealand:** In New Zealand, a country grappling with its colonial past and the resulting disparities between the indigenous Māori population and the predominantly white settlers, tangential thinking can provide novel pathways to justice and reconciliation. For instance, considering indigenous frameworks of law and community engagement in the justice system could lead to more culturally appropriate and effective legal practices. This approach involves stepping away from a Eurocentric view of justice to incorporate Māori concepts like "Te Ao Māori" (the Māori worldview), which emphasizes balance, restoration, and collective well-being. **Conclusion:** Tangential thinking is crucial in diverse societies as it promotes the questioning of normative structures and the exploration of alternative methods and solutions, particularly in systems as complex as justice. In the context of New Zealand, employing tangential thought can lead to a more inclusive approach that acknowledges and integrates the unique cultural, historical, and social contexts of all racial groups, potentially leading to a fairer and more just society. Understanding and implementing this kind of thinking can also offer ways to address and correct historical biases and promote a more equitable legal system.

The discontents of this interconnected world are no secret. We all know of the income disparities, human rights violations, nationalistic sentiments, and so many more issues rising in the world. I believe we can still fix all of it through a meticulous reformation of our moral and political philosophical framework which underpins our social contracts, policies, and governance. Read my new book to gain an understanding of the world around us. #globalization #humanrights #nationalism #migration #environment #sustainability #diversity #culture #politics #economy https://lnkd.in/dgJaQ5DQ

This is from 2017. And it shines a light on what happens as a result of American attempts to remake the world as part of the liberal agenda - championing democracy & human rights. Democracy and human rights are seen as irresistible forces of good, isn’t it? The finer point is that if they look irresistible, there is a fair bit of conditioning and narrative-building that has gone into it! Democracy and human rights serve as veneers that serve to camouflage the pursuit of hegemony by predominant powers, in this case, the United States. Compelling watch. Helps us understand why the world is in a mess when the US intervenes! #internationalrelations #globalpolitics #geopolitics #liberalism #foreignpolicy #johnmearsheimer

#latestactivities Alliance for Justice: Pioneers in upholding justice and equality In the annals of American history, certain organizations stand out as beacons of progress and defenders of justice. Among them, the Alliance for Justice (AFJ) shines brightly, a testament to decades of unwavering commitment to upholding the values of equality, fairness, and constitutional rights. Origins and Mission The seeds of AFJ were sown in the turbulent year of 1971, a time when the "Powell Memo" sounded the alarm on perceived threats to the American economic system. Recognizing the call to arms for the business community to influence the courts, AFJ emerged as a bulwark against the weaponization of justice for corporate interests. Founded in 1979 by the indefatigable attorney and activist Nan Aron, AFJ was a response to the encroaching specter of far-right ideologies threatening to erode decades of hard-won progressive achievements. With a vision of a judiciary that mirrors the diversity of the nation and safeguards the rights of all its citizens, AFJ embarked on a mission to ensure that justice remains blind to influence and privilege.
