Human Rights and Psychological and Genetical Factors Creating Similarities and Differences
Journal Title: The Journal of Human Rights - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Everyone inherits hereditary features and characters from his/her previous generations by heredity. Surely, hereditary factors obligatorily transfer from one generation to the other. Environmental factors and education aren’t in our control and we aren’t born willingly in a special city and country or haven’t chosen our neighbors and schools. Even if we imagine that we have options for changing the places of our lives or jobs, in practice we have chosen situations based on the attitude pre-formed in our minds. One of the main purposes of human rights should be eliminating imposed differences among people and, consequently, removing discrimination, distinction, inequality and injustice. Implementing the first and second generations of human rights may decrease the effect of environmental imposed factors. However, human rights institutions have not made adequate efforts to study and eliminate the hereditary inequalities and injustices yet. چکیده هر انسان از طریق وراثت، صفات و خصوصیات ارثی را از نسل‌های پیشین خود به ارث می‌برد.آنچه مسلم است عوامل وراثتی به طور جبری از نسلی به نسل دیگر منتقل می‌شود. عوامل محیطی و تعلیم و تربیت هم تحت اختیار ما نیست و ما به خواست خود در شهر و کشوری خاص به دنیا نیامده یا همسایگان و مدرسه خود را انتخاب نکرده‌ایم، حتی اگر تصور نمائیم که در تغییر محل زندگی و یا محل کار خود اختیار داریم، اما عملاً انتخاب‌هایی کرده‌ایم که ناشی از طرز تفکر از پیش شکل گرفته ما بوده است. یکی از اهداف اصلی حقوق بشر می‌بایست از بین بردن تفاوت‌های جبری میان افراد و در نتیجه رفع تبعیض، تمایز، نابرابری و بی‌عدالتی میان انسان‌ها باشد. اجرای نسل اول و دوم حقوق بشر می‌تواند باعث کاهش عوامل جبری محیطی گردد. اما در رابطه با بررسی و رفع نابرابری‌ها و بی‌عدالتی‌های وراثتی، تاکنون از سوی مجامع حقوق بشری تلاش چشمگیری صورت نپذیرفته است. کلیدواژه‌ها
