“Nothing of that which is conducive to help man, collectively or individually, to live not "happily" but less unhappily in this world, ought to be indifferent to the Theosophist-Occultist. It is no concern of his whether his help benefits a man in his worldly or spiritual progress; his first duty is to be ever ready to help if he can, without stopping to philosophize.” IfsMenWorldFirstsHelpingSpiritualProgressThis WorldReadyDutyOughtBenefitsConcernIndifferentStoppingWorldlySpiritual Progress Author:H.

That there's a lot of popular, kind of, concern and activism, but it is very fragmented. That the groups have very specific, narrow agendas and they don't interact and cooperate with one another. Ok, that's something you have to overcome to build a mass popular movement. And that's, media can help, but they also benefit from it.” KnowsKindSaidHelpingLeftNumbersGroupsMediaMovementBenefitsMassConcernOvercomingClaimsActivismAgendasMexicoMexicanFragmented Author:Noam Chomsky
“The term 'human rights' has been too often associated with conditionality, and with concerns of developing countries that in order to benefit from open trade they would be required to implement immediately labour and environmental standards of a comparable level to those applied in industrialised countries. At the same time, debates about the primacy of trade as against human rights legal codes have contributed to maintaining the unfortunate impression that the two bodies of law are pursuing incompatible aims.” HumansHas BeensTwoCountryBodyWould BeLawOrderTermLevelsRightsBenefitsStandardsConcernAimTradeEnvironmentalHuman RightsDebateImpressionDevelopingCodeLabourUnfortunateMaintainingDeveloping CountriesPrimacy Author:Mary Robinson
