Catholic social teaching
I was absent the day this was due so Im doing it now. I commented on a few blogs to get the gist of it but reading it definietly gave me abetter hold of the concepts displayed. We only had to read thin introduction and social teachings 1 and 7. These covered the topics of human rights and colonialism relating to the economy. The human rights and dignity section reminds me of the notre dame hallmarks because one of the hallmarks, number 2 i think, is very similar. They value the dignity of each person and relate their existence to god because he was the one that created the first human. people in the world-"deserve to be reated with inalienable respect as children of god". The part about the pro life choice is pretty controversy especially over topics like abortions, capital punishment, human rights, etc. These have to do with the catholic moral teaching. I really like talking about the human rights and the dignity of each person because I agree with a lot of it, every person should be treated with worth and value. There have been many events throughout history that have gone against human dignity. The second section was all about the economy and the division between classes and what the catholic social teaching does in order to stop it and their stances on the topics. The section goes against the human rights and dignitiy because the main goal of that section is to teach equality. Overtime, society has become far from equal. There is a major differences in classes and it is only getting worse. The catholic social teaching develoes two ways to help the issue which i agree with but a single individual cant fix the problem on their own. It is going to take cooperation and the entire society to fix the distiction between rich and poor. I always wonder, is that ever going to go away? How would the society be with out the class distinctions?
