One cannot imagine a world stripped of social interaction. Our
lives are intimately linked to those of others and we need to
establish ground rules to regulate our interactions. These rules
are rooted in values, morals and fundamental rights; they are the
beacons according to which we navigate our lives. But these ground
rules are not cast in stone. Our contemporary world is
characterised by constant change that seems to engulf every aspect
of our lives. All around us we see social systems crumbling as
moral decay and disrespect for ethics set in. These disruptive
changes compel us to reflect on values and human rights and the
ground rules that anchor our lives and the community we serve.
Hence, we are confronted with the question: how do we recreate
morality and ethical behaviour to ensure that human rights are more
than word in the Constitution? This book explores human issues in a
quest to understand values, morals and human rights. It aims to
help all of us - but especially students and teachers - develop an
understanding of this complex world in which we must rediscover,
redefine and reinvent values and human rights in order to build our
fragile democracy. Only through rediscovery and understanding can
we help learners and our social institutions develop a
well-articulated approach to values and human rights in education.
In the final analysis, it is not so much about teaching and
learning values and human rights, as it is about living values and
human rights and allowing them space to grow in society.
