Evidence Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

Most researchers agree that modern humans have been around for 100,000 years. However our ancestors ‘primates’ who walked upright in African plains, banded together for warmth and shelter might have lived much longer than us, estimated at around 3.2 million years. The predictions made are based on 42-inch fossil that was found in Ethiopia in 1974 by anthropologist Donald C. Johanson. This skeleton is probably the most popular fossil in the entire world and is named ‘Lucy’ after the Beatles song playing in the tape deck of researchers when it was found.

In the article entitled, “Remarks on Mediation and Production,” the authors Soren Andreasen and Lars Bang Larsen make their remark on the currently perceived role and suggested future role of middlemen. Note that these two authors are seasoned artists, writers, critics, and curators. Being middlemen, themselves, the two authors aim to defend the idea that middlemen play a more significant role in shaping the style of production – that middlemen help bring modernity and creativity in the style of production.

Outlining the said article, Andreasena nd Larsen first defined what they mean by the term, “middleman.” Accordingly, they have defined ...

Chunking was put forward as a way of thinking by Miller. It was later explored by Rosenbllom and Newell where they came up with the following assertions. When a person acquires information, he organizes and arranges it forming storage expressions called chunks. These are the chunks that exist in the learning moments. What steers this hypothesis is the fact that human performance is enhanced by practice. An investigation based on choice-reaction-time-test was performed to verify whether chunking was a learning machine that was implementable. It was later discovered that in a machine information gathering environment, chunking was actually possible and its performance got ...

The use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, a social or political issue, seems to be in question. The opponents to the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes stick to the same argument of social and at times religious effects. The support of the movement seems to be basing all evidence in the far-reaching uses of cannabis beyond medical application. With Washington and Colorado both recently legalizing marijuana for recreational use, it reopens the debate about whether or not marijuana should be legal for medicinal purposes in the United States. A look at the current research, an analyzing the argument of ...

Scenario One

Sebastian commits this offense when he dishonestly buys business class tickets with the intention to sell them. Evidence of further dishonesty is illustrated by his travelling in economy class while the company records indicate that he travelled in the business class. Even though no harm results to the company from his actions, the case of Attorney General’s Reference (No. 3 of 2003) held that the key determinant in the offense is the conduct, not the results. Accordingly, Sebastian has committed the offense regardless of the outcome of his conduct.
It is however imperative to note that it ...

1. The video entitled “Repairing the Santa Monica Freeway after the 1994 Earthquake” shown online through YouTube illustrated the exemplary capacity and dedication of the project leader (the contractor), C.C. Myers, to complete the repair of the Santa Monica Freeway in 74 days ahead of schedule . Likewise, the video also proved that in government projects, the ability to cut through red tape had significantly assisted in completing the project ahead schedule of 140 days – which is significantly less than the initial assertion that the project would take 12 to 18 months for repair and rebuilding .
2. Therefore, this ...

The writer of the article (Aviva Dove-Viebahn) tries to give a review of a television series known as Mad Men. The series setting is in the last century, the 1960’s. I actually think that the title of the article should be “Feminism in a Man’s World”. This is because there was zero level of gender sensitivity at the time. Women were not held with esteem at all. We can argue that we have come a long way since then, because Americans are now more gender sensitive.
Aviva’s remarks, in “Feminism in a Mad World”, makes clear the stereotyped activities women ...

I concur with the argument in relation to reverse discrimination. This, in my view, is one of the flipsides of affirmative action. It is not justifiable or at least at this juncture, to wholesomely reject affirmative action. Nonetheless, sufficient evidence suffices to show that some qualified and competent employees lost opportunities because they belong to the majority. This has especially affected the White men seeking employment opportunities. As noted in the discussion, it is imperative to follow the letter and spirit of Title VII. To that extent, discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and or national origin should ...

Q.1
The five basic assumptions of positivism in law are realism, objectivity, scientific evidence, and ultimate proof is unattainable. The realism operates in order to impress investigators to face the reality without letting their emotions cloud their judgments. The objectivity wants them to focus on objectives without getting hurt from the presence of obstacles and problems in the way of solving the crime. The good investigator always follows the evidence because it does not lie, but people do in order to hide their wrongdoings. The final assumption argues that ultimate proof is not possible to be found, and ...

Multiple Topics:

Question 1: Is technology the job killer of the 21st century?
Increased intelligent machinery, automation, and a reliance on web-based services has caused a reduction in several types of jobs, but it has also created millions of jobs only not for the people who initially lost them. In this regard, technology cannot be considered as a job killer but rather as the price people have to pay for progress. This is evident in the fact that technological breakthroughs have led to the creation of more affordable goods, better medical care, and improved transport and communication systems which have made lives better ...

Literal analysis is crucial elements that help in critical analysis of the works of literature. In the context of the play ‘Goodnight Desdemona, good morning Juliet' is an n indication of a play that can be applied with the help of the theories. A vindication of the right of women according to Mary is evident in the play. Critically, we seek to understand the cries of women in the play and their representing to find out the root causes of their problems and the best way to curb them. Her thought indicates that women should have access to education to ...

Based on reading of this text, Hegel understanding of the interconnection between time and spirit can be viewed as an attempt to destruction of the history of ontology. The understanding of time of Hegel can be said to be the most radical way and the most offensive way of understanding of time (Pinkard, Terry, 49). In his argument, he believes that the spirit falls into historical time and at the same time be speculative thought.
Hegelian Conceptuality clearly outlays itself as separation and understanding of the difference between the “I” and non-I. The conceptuality brings itself in the ...

The essay is about eminent domain practice by the government of New London, Connecticut. Eminent domain is the power of the government to seize property of a citizen, without owner’s consent with the aim of providing benefit to the public from that property. The court has established this law that it is sovereign right to take private property for the greater public benefit. The fifth amendment of United States Constitution state that private property cannot be acquired for public use, without just compensation, which means appropriate compensation has not be paid in case of needing the property for use. ...

What do you think about the academics that claim there is no real evidenced based practice (EBP)?

While there are claims that evidenced-based practice is not real, it is but important to understand the criteria and applicability of the method prior to its application. There are cases the EBP has been proven effective in various situations and covers different disciplines. It is still our responsibility as a practitioner to use our knowledge and expertise and check against the latest suggestions from the research as a result of EBP. This practice has its advantages and disadvantages that we should consider prior to its application. Taking a deeper understanding of the depth of ...

PICO Question
In pregnant women, how effective is it for them to avoid working in chemical based conditions and environment?
Background
Most women fail to take precaution measures during pregnancy, where they work in every provided condition. Some women only think that they should stop working only when they are in the advanced stages of pregnancy. For example, in the provided case, Maria is working as a cleaning agent in a household cleaning company, which specializes in cleaning small residences ...

Acupuncture is considered one of the ancient traditional Chinese medical practices, whose age cannot be precisely defined, but is generally believed to be approximately 2000 years. As medical experts of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services define it, acupuncture is a technique that involves stimulation of the points in the body, often by inserting thin needles into it (Lao et al., 2014). It is believed that every human has the energy of life called qi, and this energy flows in the human body through the meridians that are the streams ...

In the article ‘Guantanamo and beyond: Dangers of rigging the rules’, Foley outlines the various factors that shows that the Guantanamo detention rules that were enacted as a way of fighting terrorism after the 9/11 are unrealistic. The rules as he states, have reversed the application of Habeas Corpus in the interrogation process n addition to denying the suspects from presenting evidence that could determine whether they are innocent or not. In addition, these rigged rules may alleviate terrorism activities instead of reducing them. This is because the police arrests suspects and little interrogation is conducted to determine whether they ...

According to John Ashworth the rise of American capitalism led to increasing calls for the complete and unconditional abolition of slavery from the United States. In the text provided John Ashworth proves this claim. He proves the claim by explaining the underlying ideologies of American capitalism and how these ideologies eventually led to demands for abolition of slavery. Capitalism advocates for privately owned businesses which bring forth profits for the owners. According to ashworth this was completely in line with abolitionism. This is because as capitalism grew there was increasing demand for labor and calls for the work force ...

Introduction and overview

According to conventional wisdom, the more the diagnosis, and especially early diagnosis, the better health and medical care treatment and management one is likely to receive, and in return the less the mortality rates. Apparently, this is not the case, according to one Dr. Gilbert Welch et al, in his book, ‘over- diagnosed making people sick in the pursuit of health’ who believes that more and more diagnosis leads to excessive treatment and that can actually have a negative impact on the patient’s health. This is because it makes people who are healthy feel less healthy and this can ...

Plate Tectonic Theory

The continental drift theory stated that the world was formed of a single continent that separated and drifted apart to form 7 continents that exist today. According to Alfred Wegner, a German meteorologist, the continents were comprised of light rocks that rested on heavy crustal material. According to Wegner, the continents were previously a single large continent that broke apart and drifted along the floor of the ocean up to wear the continents are located today. While Wegner used the fit of the 2 continents that had already been mentioned, he also used lithological similarity and fossil distribution as evidence.

Essay Review – Greed Viewed as Good

- The introductory paragraph of the essay comes across as sharp and factual that may be off-putting to some readers. The focus is also not on the topic itself but on supporting examples. The tone could have been less impersonal.
- The thesis statement is clearly stated in the introduction though it appears in the middle of the paragraph.
- There is no mention of the target audience by the end of the introduction. I believe that students and philosophers will take an active interest in the topic. Moreover, the topic can hold the attention of sociologists.

Re: A Motion to Suppress statements and evidence acquired during the execution of the warranty

Issue: The police in this case are said to have had a search warrant that allowed for them to search the house. This warranty gave them the right to ask the suspect to step aside and allow them to search for any illegal firearm or anything else illegal in the house. In the Miranda v Arizona the police upon finding anything illegal in the house, they are supposed to inform the suspect of the right to remain silent and the right to avoid self incrimination (Levy, 1968). There is also the right to have an attorney present during any form ...

Who were the major "players" in monastery economies (think of Vezelay, for example). What did they have to gain- or lose- based on their roles in this economy? How did the cult of saints fit into this monastery economy? What visual and textual evidence do we have?
The legalization of Christianity undoubtedly gave rise to a number of monastic orders who flourished extensively over Europe with the establishment of several monastery economies. The Dominicans and the Benedictines were among the most successful especially the latter who took to copying sacred texts and commissioning works of art with considerable zeal.

This essay will be one that intends to expose the nature of belief comparing philosophers such as Blaise Pascal, Soren Kierkegaard on justifications for a belief in god and the reasons we believe in general to attempt to answer a greater question of whether we can logically determine the existence of God. Pascal believes that arguments for god may be logical, but they prove above anything else that god doesn’t care and why would we want to believe in someone that doesn’t care?
When we pray we’re asking someone to listen to our problems, we expect the ...

Reflection on Clinical Practice

Introduction

In advanced nursing, acute care of pregnant women is an important part. The challenge that is common in this field of nursing is that the nurse must consider the wellbeing of the developing fetus in addition to that of the mother before taking any interventions. One of the first cases I handled was that of Mr. & Mrs. Peterson. I met Mrs. Jessica Peterson, 31 while she was 4 months pregnant after she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. From her medical records, this was her second pregnancy with the first one having ended in a miscarriage ...

In the novel, Tristram Shandyby Laurence Sterne, it is clear that both the form and content are in a continuous antagonism with each other. An analysis of the book, the Tristram Shandy is essential in describing relationship between content and form and their significance. Using relevant illustrations and examples is essential in developing a conclusion that fits the purpose of the book. Analyzing the relationship between form and content in Sterne’s novel is imperative in clarifying the role of these aspects in the development of the literary work.
According to Eymer, the form of a novel is by definition, the ...

Introduction

The simplest way define a fallacy is that it is the logical error in an argument or evaluation of a policy. Additionally, it can be the incorrect argument in rhetoric and logic that results in a lack of validity (Laurel 8 – 12). They are classified into formal and informal fallacies. Others have defined fallacy to mean a mistake in belief that is based on certain unsound argument.
This paper identifies the ten fallacies as they are obtained in the political arena, explain how each of the identified fallacies are being employed, and the reason for the application of these fallacies. It should ...

Introduction

A belief is a physiological state in which a person or an individual usually hold it to be true. Knowledge is information and skill that people acquire them through the day to day experiences or through education. Knowledge and beliefs are always inseparable because one needs to have beliefs so that he can attain knowledge. Culture is a feature that is always associated with certain group of people and it differs according to the origin of people. In my own opinion I can say that people can have believes and knowledge that are independent of culture as the following arguments will show.

Based on Thu-Hong context of sex worker, sex is seen as an activity that is intended to enhance economic position of the society by both men and women. How can sexual violation be regarded as an obstruction of the norms and culture of a society? With substantial evidence from the context, discuss some of the impacts of sexual outcome, which may affect both the ...

There are certain professions that are prestigious, and with this comes authority. Hearers tend to look up to these people. They may use their authority to influence the hearers and end up stating claims that have no proof.
Regarding claims from an authority. Sagan’s point is that an extra ordinary claim requires an extra ordinary proof. In demon haunted world Carl Sagan states that the cure for a fallacious argument is a better argument, not the suppression of ideas (Sagan, pg. 426). His point of view is that every claim should be received with skepticism, but people shouldn’t ...

Infant
Children under the age of 1 year old usually have some degree of higher order thinking. In accordance to a research Fantz in 1961 in regard to how infants look at plus detect changes in the various events which they are often sensitive (Honing, 2006). Infants are able to recognize those individuals around them, and able to react by crying to faces that are unfamiliar to them (Honing, 2006). This is a form of higher order thinking as it entails recognition. It is a part of a learning process of an infant as the brain is ...

Each person has his/her own learning style. Take a professional development book and you will find its advocates. Contrary to the believers of this “common knowledge,” this statement is a myth. Reiner and Willingham (2010) debunk this myth and explain why the claim “learning could be improved by matching the mode of instruction to the preferred learning style of the student” is not backed by solid evidence. The following sections are three important discussion points this writer makes about the article.

There is no scientific proof that learning styles exist.

Learning style is defined as “the preferred bodily sense through which one receives information, whether visual, auditory, or kinesthetic” (Reiner & ...

Incidents of dramatic irony in Act I and Act II:

- Everyone believes the king died as a result of a snake bite when in reality he had been poisoned. Ironic because Claudius had spread the rumor of the snakebite while he was really the killer. Characters: Ghost, Hamlet, Claudius. Sympathy for Hamlet, because he learned that the king was murdered. Antipathy for Claudius because we learn he is a murderer. Evidence: The testimony of the ghost. Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, “With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts— / O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power / So to seduce!—won to his shameful lust / The ...

SOCRATIC METHOD

The Socratic Method is named after the classical Greek philosopher and teacher Socrates (ca. 470-399 B. C.), is based on the practice of disciplined, rigorously thoughtful dialogue. Socrates engaged his students with continual question after question in an unending search for truth and answers. He sought to get to the individual’s views by asking several questions until a contradiction was exposed, thus providing the fallacy of the initial assumption.

The Socratic Method is a tool used to engage individuals or groups in a discussion, using probing questions to get to the heart of a subject matter, stimulate critical thinking, and create new ...

In today’s consumerist culture, having the most things equates to social and cultural success – many people measure their self-worth and happiness by what they have instead of who they are (Cowen, 2009). At first, we seek to own things as a result of necessity – we primarily seek the things that we require in order to survive and thrive. Once those basic needs are met, however, we look toward amenities, and our major criteria for what we want to get is what the others around us have. When someone has something very expensive, and is clearly enjoying it, it is a ...

In James Wilson's "Just Take Away Their Guns," the columnist makes a powerful case for stricter gun control; in the wake of stricter gun control legislation, Wilson believes that adding more paperwork will simply not have a great deal of effectiveness in keeping guns off the streets: "Legal restraints on the lawful purchase of guns will have little effect on the illegal use of guns" (Wilson). Citing statistics on illegal and legally purchased guns, as well as the current state of police resources towards stopping illegal carrying of guns, Wilson believes that more police power to take away unlicensed firearms will ...

In the contemporary society, most of minority people based on any measure can be said to have gained recognition. Looking at the 111th congress of America, a lot of revolution can be deduced. It can be said to be a congress comprised of the most diversified representation in the American history. Tracing the changes and composition of the congress and the senate, racial division is not very evident or even does religious division seem to be very evident (Lin, 1).
Looking at the history of the American politics, the greatest change can be traced in racial balance. All the way ...

Critical Thinking

There is an argument in this passage which ends with a conclusion that there is no God. In the standard form, the argument starts by defining who God is, giving the three things that are known about God and how each one of them should work in proving that God actually exists. However, from the discussion section, it emerges that there is evidence contrary to what is expected in the event that God was there. Though the argument ends at a rhetoric note, it is clear that the argument is aimed at proving that there is no God. The passage has a ...

Throughout the history of humanity there were certain “facts” considered proven and established “laws of nature” universally known to be absolutely known to be correct, until they were subsequently discovered to be wrong. Everyone knew time and space were fixed. Einstein proved they were relative. Einstein “proved” nothing could travel faster than light. Since then physicists discovered photons and pulses sometimes can break light speed; then in 2011 CERN observed subatomic particles traveling faster than the speed of light. Everyone including our most brilliant computer scientist, renowned mathematicians and Homer Simpson has been trying to find out if P ≠ ...

Cognitive Biases

We develop our own judgments and opinions based on our experiences, beliefs and preconceptions. At times, we produce good judgments, but more often than not, we produce inevitable incoherent judgments known as cognitive biases. Wikipedia (2012) defines cognitive bias as “the human tendency to make systematic decisions in certain circumstances based on cognitive factors rather than evidence”. Huer Jr. (2007) suggests that the fundamental limitations on our mental processes cause us to utilize different simplifying processes and “rules of thumb to ease the burden of mentally processing information to make judgments and decisions”. These processes and rules of thumb ...

The argument on whether God does exist is one that has been debated by many people for a long time; philosophers on their part have based their assertions on theistic proof on rationality and logic. Some religious groups argue that this debate cannot be decided by logic alone but rather some faith is needed to understand God’s existence. However, that is not always the case; philosophers like Descartes, who is considered the father of modern day philosophy, were able to give theistic proof using valid philosophical arguments. It is hence interesting to try and answer the question of whether ...

Gender roles and gender-related stereotypes are often depicted in literary works. For example, Shakespeare’s play “Macbeth” could be considered misogynistic because it promotes the stereotype that women are the root of all evil, manipulate men for their selfish needs, and create chaos because all female characters in the play show that form of behavior. On the other hand, it is also possible to notice the lack of stability and logic in the main character Macbeth who is depicted as a naïve, indecisive, and dependent character. In “Candide,” it is possible to notice that Voltaire depicts the vulnerability and ...

Primary elective Cesarean Section is safer for infant and mother

Preferred above Emergency C-section

Possible resolutions – Evidence based studies should be conducted

Ethical dilemmas appear as moral conflicts everyday in nursing practice interventions. The anticipation of every nurse is that one day while engaged in this vocation an ethical dilemma will surface. Contemporary nursing practice forces the nurse to be a patient advocate also, besides execution of daily tasks to enhance life. Maternal infant nursing, as any other part of the discipline form time to time, forges ethical considerations at all levels of practice. In this discourse the writer will advance an argument for primary elective caesarean section and how ...

Critical appraisal of an incident that affected patient safety

Critical incidents and events have significant physical, psychological, financial and social implications for patients. Majority of critical events are however preventable. An incident whereby an elderly patient fell and suffered a hip fracture will be assessed critically. The patient was an 88 year old lady admitted into the nursing home because she had a history of dementia, hypertension, diabetes and hip fracture. She fell during a shift change over when the nurse caring for her was busy and hence did not respond to her calls for assistance in getting to the toilet. The nurse mentioned in her report that the patient needed ...

Forensic accounting is also known as forensic auditing or investigation. Because of the increase in fraud cases over the past decades, this is one of the most popular areas of growth in the field of accounting. Not only do law enforcement agencies employ forensic accountants as part of criminal investigations, but such organizations as insurers, banks, corporations and law firms also use them as well, as part of gathering evidence for situations that have moved to litigation or other stages in the dispute process. Forensic accounting takes several different forms, such as looking into the records that are a part ...

Two main problems of evil tend to bother atheists and unhappy individuals. First, the evidential problem of gratuitous evil causes atheists to contend that theists must make sense of their belief in light of the facts of evil. This is fitting since atheists deny the existence of a god, and the theists, not only argue for a god, but they also believe this is the omnipotent, omnipresent God Almighty. Second, the existential problem of evil appears to questioned mainly by those who are simply not happy that they exist at all. Happy people do not have a contention against the existence of ...

Process: System Implementation and support

Health care practices based on evidence are currently readily available for a number of health care issues like heart failures, asthma, and diabetes. Unfortunately, these practices do not always get implemented in healthcare delivery, and related practices bounded by the same (Houser & Oman, 2011). Formerly, the main focus of any research dealing with healthcare was to enhance analysis of data in order to identify safety concerns of the patient and to show likelihood of arriving at advanced quality and patient safety.

There is much less attention given to practice implementation. It is important to note that by putting emphasis ...

Much Ado about Nothing in the movie by Kenneth Branagh

Despite the law that exists to protect women in the society against inequality, men still look down upon women and still nothing is done about the oppression. This is a concept that is evident in the two plays as we can be able to see women in the play ‘Much Ado about Nothing’ being manipulated at will and the ones in the play ‘the trifles’ also being looked down upon by their male counterparts. Much Ado about Nothing is a comedy that was initially written by William Shakespeare and was later on presented in a movie by Kenneth Branagh. It revolves around ...

Chandra Levy, a 24-year-old intern from California, went missing on May 1, 2001 as she was preparing to return to her hometown of Modesto after undergoing a seven-month internship in Washington DC. Chandra’s disappearance drew much public and media attention after it was learned that she had been having an affair with a congressman of her hometown of Modesto, 52-year-old Gary Condit.
The police had focused its investigation on Condit who had denied any involvement in Chandra's disappearance but had admitted to having an affair with her. But as the police searched for Chandra's whereabouts, it ...

Clifford was a philosopher in the medieval ages of philosophy, that is, the seventeenth century. Clifford advocated that a person is rightfully justified in believing in an event or something if only they have sufficient evidence in believing in the occurrence of that event. Clifford was against beliefs people had in doing things without sufficient evidence before embarking on such events. In this accord, Clifford wrote a book to support his belief. However, many non-evidentialist philosophers saw his advocacy as an act of atheism and that he did not believe in God. Non-evidential philosophers believed in God and put ...

CHAPTER 4PART I4. How can critical thinkers counteract confirmation bias?

A critical thinker should seek information from different sources. An issue at hand is considered from different perspectives and using Six Thinking Hats technique.5 What is an expert?
An expert is a person who can acquire evidence and information that are superior to those of an ordinary person. 6 What should be our attitude toward a claim that conflicts with the expert opinion?
The claim that is inconsistent with the expert advice should not shut down the possibilities that the allegations are untrue. As the law may require we may be forced or use personal intuition to judge between ...

Cybercrime and many other crimes are justified by the collection of appropriate evidence by detectives and other law enforcement agencies. The forensics team to collect evidence from the crime scene uses various techniques and tools. Interviewing the witnesses to gather evidence and being able to incorporate the correct method to investigate the crime scene is expected from professional detectives. The paper highlights four mini cases and knowledge of methods used in these cases to collect evidence by forensics experts. Cyber crimes are crimes done by computer experts through their knowledge of software, programming, and networking techniques. In addition to ...

SOURCES OF EVIDENCE IN DIGITAL FORENSICS INVESTIGATION

ABSTRACT
Today’s society is becoming, increasingly, interconnected through the use of networking technologies and the proliferation of internet. As such, computer intrusions and security incidence are on the increase. Organizations and companies find the use of internet unavoidable in order to advance their operations and efficiency. The ability to handle computer security concerns resulting from seamless connectivity proves to be a major challenge. Other insecurity concerns resulting from insider file alteration and malware installations are equally harmful and should be treated with utmost considerations. As a result, the field of digital forensic investigation has risen to help in unearthing ...

Digital forensics is of great importance when it comes to investigation and law. This is the acquisition, analysis and presentation of evidence to courts through a scientific collection of the same. When proposing digital forensics equipment, there are various pertinent factors that will need to be taken into consideration include the cost of the tools used in the analysis, the work needed in the forensics investigations and the available devices on the market. This paper is going to discuss two digital forensic tools used, their advantages, drawbacks and the possible usage of the same.

In ancient societies, people believed that the hierarchy of human society was based on the divine right of certain people to lead and the divine permission to keep others as lower class members of society. This shamed the parameters of social order until the Age of Enlightenment and Reformation in the 16th and 17th Centuries. The American and French Revolutions laid the foundation for the creation of a system of civil liberties and human rights which required some basic rights to be accorded to all human beings without exception. Human rights is defined as “a set of freedoms guaranteed ...
