Extractions: Tomatsu, above n 2 at p 191. See: anonymous, "Diet seeks to curb domestic violence" (7 April 2001) The Japan Times Online, accessed at http://www.japantimes.com I adopt Taylor's definition of culture: "Culture of Civilization, taken in its wide ethnographic sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capacities and habits acquired by man as a member of society" (Tylor, E, Primitive Culture: Researches Into the Development of Mythology, Philosophy, Religion, Art and Custom (1871) 1958, Gloucester, Mass., Vol 1, 1.). The role of 'culture' in Japanese law can be contentious. Hamano observes that "culture undoubtedly plays an important part in the unfolding of any society, an certainly does so in Japan ... . Culture is riven with contradictions based on age, class, gender and political orientation; it is malleable, and subject to conscious creation and manipulation. Attempts to understand the Japanese Constitution without a firm grasp of history omit the political, and so risk the distortions of orientalism." ("Incomplete revolutions and not so alien transplants: The Japanese Constitution and human rights" (1999) 1 U.Pa.J.Const. L 415 at 420.) That is why the court's attitude towards the equality principle is discussed in this paper from a cultural and historical (and geographical) perspectives. Ibid.
Extractions: Sunday, November 15, 1998, an estimated 180,000 American churches over a third of U.S. churches participated in the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. The front page of Monday's New York Times carried a lengthy article which provides considerable insight into the true motives of the organizers of this event and the movement behind it. Consider the following statements from the Times, which I have taken the liberty to categorize according to the possible objectives of IDOPPC organizers: "Christians Gain Support in Fight on Persecution: Concern is Worldwide," Laurie Goldstein, NY Times, Nov. 9, 1998, p. A1. To project an image of Christians as disinterested in world affairs and the rights of others, but highly motivated by self-interest. "Now a wide swath of Americans who admit they never before paid much attention to foreign affairs or human rights is beginning to exert its influence on American foreign policy. They are lobbying cities to stop doing business with nations that they say persecute Christians. They are writing letters to countries - some whose names they cannot pronounce - demanding the release of Christian prisoners. "After decades of soul-searching over the indifference or even complicity of some Christians in the Holocaust and in genocidal wars in Rwanda and Bosnia, Christians are seeing themselves as the victims and martyrs of the moment..."

Cordry, The Multicultural Dictionary of Proverbs, McFarland Inc., Jefferson, N.C., 1997. pp: 286, 288, 63. Many questions need to be answered. Why is finding democracy in Muslim countries as difficult as finding a palm tree in the North Pole? Why do some countries have long-lasting human tragedies such as, tyranny, corruption, ethnic fighting, religious oppression, etc.? Why are Muslim women subjected to oppression and humiliation? Why does international terrorism find support from some states and their citizens? Why do those who are oppressed by their governments themselves become oppressors when they obtain power? To find satisfactory answers to these questions we must carefully examine and analyze the factors contributing to these tragedies. This may provide us with a better way of fighting against human rights violations and go beyond the watch-report-condemn cycle.
Taking Shelter In Christ - Pope Benedict XVI - MSNBC.com he confounded social conservatives by his opposition to the death penalty, social justice, the rights of workers, a radical capitalistic ideology http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3276684/
Extractions: By By Matthew Bunson Special to MSNBC.com Christ at the center of all things was a theme to which John Paul II returned until the very end of his life and which served as his unceasing prayer for the church and the world. On Oct. 22, 1978, only a few days after his election as pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II called upon the world: "Be not afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ. To his saving power upon the boundaries of states, economic and political systems, the vast fields of culture, civilization and development. Do not be afraid." In his first major papal document, "Redemptor Hominis" ("The Savior of Man"), John Paul wrote, "Our spirit is set in one direction; the only direction for our intellect, will and heart is toward Christ our Redeemer." This Christocentric theology had profound ramifications for the Catholic Church in the modern world as it presented humanity not in isolation from God but reaching its fullness through God's Son. By proclaiming that human dignity can be seen only in the light of Christ, John Paul II challenged modern thinking and oriented the church to defend the human person against the great threats posed to true freedom and dignity by the political and philosophical systems of the 20th century. Karol Wojtyla had witnessed first-hand two of those dehumanizing movements, Nazism and communism. He emerged from those experiences refined and resolute that the church offered the only antidote to a spiritually arid age. John Paul saw the church not in a static defensive posture but in fidelity to the call of the Gospel to preach to all nations. As one of the most active members of the Second Vatican Council, the pope knew that the council had mandated a dialogue with the modern world. In the long conversation of his reign, he spoke for the church and apologized for the past errors of its members, pleaded for the reunion of the splintered Christian family.

Extractions: Excerpt I. Introduction Human rights have a high place on the agenda of the world today. In the eyes of their defenders they are a sine qua non for the peace and the welfare of mankind and for democratic ideals. On the other hand the human rights records of many countries are still very poor and in some cases even scandalous. Thus the promotion and the reinforcement of human rights, their propagation, cultivation, and protection everywhere, depend upon the ceaseless efforts of all those concerned, including both official authorities and civil societies alike. As part of these efforts, studies on the attitudes of strategic social groups such as youth, women, and minorities with regard to human rights may provide some useful information and clues for both theoretical understanding and practical, preventive, and corrective purposes. In view of this, the present study attempts to uncover certain facts concerning the awareness of and the support for human rights in one such strategic group in Turkey: university students.

Well, over the past 60 years that assurance has echoed from time to time in the mentality of free people. But it is, perhaps, difficult to think of a time other than the present that better describes the path America has taken against tyranny of terrorism. I mean, that phrase describes our posture. We would rather risk dying on our feet than living on our knees. And when our enemies struck this nation 17 months ago, we had two choices, either to succumb to fanatics or to fight in defense of the freedom we enjoy. America has made the choice to fight terrorism not just for ourselves, but for freedom-loving individuals across the globe who understand and respect the relationship of freedom to the rule of law, rather than the rule or reign of terror. All across the world, freedom-loving people have joined the side of liberty, justice and respect for the rule of law.

Since no international independent organization was allowed to monitor the Iranian elections, we may never know for sure if the conservative, anti-USA, cleric Mahmoud Ahmadinejad truly won the majority of votes in Iran's presidential elections. The coming months will tell. If the people feel that they were robbed by the supreme leader, they may go down the Lebanese path of street protests until the regime collapses. It just sounds very unlikely that an unpopular regime like Khameini's would test people's patience to this extent. If the people truly supported the hardline conservative, then western observers will need to completely rethink the political geography of that area. It was widely believed that Iranians were the most westernized of all people in the Middle East, the most eager to embrace the values of the West.
