Development and Condition of Ethical Education and Interpreting Human Rights from the Point of View of Theology and Ethics
Abstract
The aim of this study is to contribute to education in Ethics, with a particular focus on the area of human rights. First, it briefly outlines the development and status quo of education in Ethics in the Czech Republic and introduces concepts in Ethics education in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Further, it aims at offering a wide range of educational methods that may be used in the area of education; the reason for this is the fact that as long as education is to be truly ethical, it is necessary to respect the diversity of ways, in which people reveal the essential values that shape their humanity. The following part is entitled Interpreting Human Rights from the Point of View of Theology and Ethics.
Apart from detailing and further developing the areas, topics and goals of human rights education as well as the content of education in Ethics, the text also gives some inspiration for those areas. The concept of human rights is open to reasoning and interpretation and, moreover, it actually needs them, as the concept is different from fixed rules and regulations.
It requires re-iteration in terms of interpretation and identifying being renewed on a continual basis and, at the same time, is a tool for making lawlessness and injustice a topic, which needs to be revisited in the public domain in various countries. Human rights involve duty and responsibilities.
