SWK 335 - Human Rights
Credits: 3
This course provides the foundation in understanding that all persons, regardless of any element of diversity or difference, should be allowed basic human rights. Social workers should understand that every person regardless of position in society has fundamental human rights such as freedom, safety, privacy, an adequate standard of living, health care, and education. Unfortunately, there are currently numerous violations of human rights all over the world. This course provides basic human rights concepts and will give a road-map for learning human rights within a social work or social welfare context. This course will present the interconnections of oppression and human rights violations. Thus, being able to identify human rights, analyze human rights violations, provide evidence to the importance of human rights, and offer real time examples will hopefully spawn a true realization, enthusiasm, accountability and passion for recognizing human rights violations and the desire to proactively change horrific human rights abuses for the better.
