[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. As 1998 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations, there is significant question as to whether or not the written manifesto addresses the issue of human dignity as well as it was meant to do. Comparing the ethical significance of such with Veritatis Splendor, Judaism and Confucius, one can easily conclude that there are considerable alterations in the overall application of its importance. The writer discusses how the Declaration, while offering great promise at its conception and even delivering some of what was pledged, has failed quite miserably in recognizing the ethical significance of human dignity throughout the world when compared with Judaism, Confucius and Veritatis Splendor.

Brazil And The Catholic Church
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. The Roman Catholic Church has both stood in the way of, as well as promoted, Brazil's development and modernization. It can be argued that the Church's influence is quite considerable in that it represents the most important social institution with the singular exception of family. The significance of church interaction is undeniable; to be sure, its influence is felt at a number of social and political levels. Unlike the United States, Brazil's history had little distinction between church and state, as the two were readily intertwined. The writer discusses how nearly all of Brazil's population -- ninety percent -- are self-proclaimed Roman Catholics, so it is no surprise to learn that Catholicism is one of the most influential sources in their personal and educational lives.
