It is agreed by most people that ‘rights are a good thing’ and in many respects they are. However, this unit deliberately takes a critical view. It seeks to examine closely why rights are a good thing and highlights some of the problems associated with rights. In this way, we hope that the sense in which rights are still, ultimately, ‘a Macau makes play for mass gamblers Chavez announces cancer surgery Learning outcomes After studying this unit you should be able to: understand some of the key ways in which globalisation is shaping the world today; give examples of how ideas of 'proximity' and 'distance' can be used to understand an increasingly demanding world; illustrate the importance of recognising the liveliness of the natural world.
