This course aims to introduce students to the world of human rights and the local and global issues that are part of this topic. This is a particularly valuable area of study not only because it is of global importance, but also as it allows the students to integrate what they have learned in many of their other courses at Kanda within an English context. It will cover a variety of topics such as what are rights, the history of rights, the International Declaration of Human Rights, rights organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, rights in current issues, rights in Japan, minority rights, language rights, animal rights, women's rights, and famous people involved in rights activism.
