B)European colonization.

All of the situations listed above violate human dignity according to human rights documents. The eugenics movement sought to control the reproduction of certain individuals, which went against the inherent worth and value of every human being. European colonization often involved dehumanizing and oppressing colonized peoples, further violating their dignity. Residential schooling forcibly removed indigenous children from their families and cultures, causing lasting trauma and erasing their sense of identity and personhood. Nazi Germany's racial hygiene program sought to eliminate certain groups of people, treating them as subhuman and thereby stripping them of their human dignity. All of these situations represent a denial of human dignity and the inherent worth of every individual.

The Universal Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights explicitly prohibits discrimination based on an individual's genetic traits. The Magna Carta, Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizens, and Declaration on the Rights of the Disabled do not address genetic discrimination. The Universal Declaration of Sexual Rights focuses on the right to sexuality and sexual health, but does not mention genetic discrimination.

B)the labelling of certain religious groups as "cults" under France's new legislation

Accepted Answer

The eugenics movement violates the dignity, equality, and freedom themes of human rights presented in the textbook. It involves the selective breeding, sterilization, and forced euthanasia of individuals deemed "unfit" or "undesirable" based on their perceived genetic traits or social status. This violates the dignity of individuals, as it reduces them to mere biological specimens to be manipulated and controlled. It also violates their equality, as it imposes arbitrary and discriminatory standards of worth and value, and their freedom, as it denies them the right to determine their own reproductive and end-of-life choices.

Question 11

The media can demonize or glorify certain behaviors or subcultures, while commercial enterprises can influence societal expectations and norms through advertising and marketing.

Therefore, all of these groups can be considered powerful moral entrepreneurs with significant influence over what is deemed deviant in society.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, is considered the foundational document for modern human rights policies, programs, and legislation. It sets out fundamental human rights and freedoms that are to be universally protected and promoted.

D)the laws of nations that have low crime rates
E)in the Christian Bible

Accepted Answer

Human rights documents, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, can potentially provide universal standards related to the social typing of deviance. These documents reflect the consensus of the international community regarding basic human rights and freedoms, and can help to establish norms for what is considered acceptable behavior in different cultures and societies. While religious doctrines and scientific claims may also provide insights into social norms regarding deviance, they are not necessarily universal or universally accepted. Laws of nations with low crime rates may reflect effective law enforcement and social control mechanisms, but may not necessarily reflect universal standards of morality or deviance. The Christian Bible may provide guidance for some individuals, but it is not universally accepted and may not necessarily reflect the values of other cultures or religions.

The given options represent different forms of social control, but only choice C, a class teaching junior-high children about safer sex, is an example of a preventative, formal social control measure. This program aims to educate and provide information to adolescents to avoid risky behaviors and protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy, STDs, and other issues that they may face in the future. The other options could be categorized differently - A is an example of informal social control, B is an example of corrective social control, D is an example of negative social control, and E is not a social control measure at all.
