Religious Foundations
of Human Rights
This presentation was
based on a research paper for a Comparative Religions course. In the paper,
I reviewed the major world religions to see if a foundation of the respect
for human rights can be found in all religions. This presentation is an overview
of my findings, in which I argue that while conflict exists over the definition
of human rights, the vast majority of the world's major religions do contain
the philosophical foundation for the notion of basic human rights. |

The Geopolitical
Impacts of Globalization
This short presentation was
given in Geography 500 in October 1997. In this landscape interpretation
presentation, I used illustrations from the Los Angeles area to critique
the prediction asserted by some scholars that globalization will cause the
eventual decline of the state altogether as the political and economic coordination
that governments carry out will becoming increasingly less important in
the global world. |
