CHITKARA UNIVERSITY, PUNJAB CAMPUS
(Chitkara Business School)
COURSE MODULE
Subject: Human values and Human Rights (HVHR) Course Code: GEL 3103 Courses: B Com and BBA (all semesters)
Course Relevance and Objective
The objective of the course is to familiarize students about the human values and human rights.
The saying, "A man may pass all his exams but fail in life" explains the dilemma of a person lacking basic human values, ethics and morality of life. This leads us to negative thoughts and pessimistic emotions during the crucial adolescence and early young years of our growth. Research has shown that positive thoughts give rise to happy emotions, thereby building optimism as well as mental and emotional resilience against depression, anxiety, anger and other negative thoughts. Positive statements may be made of quotations, affirmations and prayers. When repeatedly made, they become embedded in the subconscious from where they influence thoughts and therefore actions of a person. India has offered many means to the world through which one can concentrate one’s mind on the positivity and students at the higher educational institutes need to develop a self-monitored, personal regime to keep their positive emotions in full flow.
The history of mankind is marked by efforts to ensure respect for the dignity of human beings. The concept of human rights was introduced and developed by thinkers from various cultural and religious traditions and finally incorporated by the UN. An important contribution to the promotion of this idea was made by statesmen and lawyers, who established written norms for the protection of the rights of individual. These were further inscribed in national laws. Understanding of basic concepts of human rights, rights of women and children is important for our students.
