Document Summary
A vehicle for inter-state power war can reshape the power that states have at their disposal. Humanitarianism as part of the superstructure that facilitates the production and expansion of capitalism and economic development. As a response to the ruptures created by the production and expansion of capitalism. Ethical awakenings that raise our awareness about the suffering of others, responsibility to act. A principle of impartiality that all individuals are deserving of compassion and respect. We believe that we have messed up and it is only morally right for us to atone for our sins. The feeling that it is our responsibility, or that we owe people that are suffering something. Connection between your actions and inactions and the suffering of others, a feeling of recognition. These things have changed dramatically in recent years and play a pivotal role in humanitarianism. Technology has a large role in what is now possible in giving and receiving aid.
