Document Summary
In the long history of the world, the enlightenment era was that people create their own human rights. Through the era, people wanted equality among communities and it was good start for human rights. Today, people can promote their individual problems, rights, and go against government. The world is small because whenever people want to see their friends or family, they can call face to face. Internet or radio, people know what is going on in the world. Nevertheless, as the world becomes diverse, the individual rights or identities were covered secretly because minorities try to act like majority people. In the essay, preface, and the new civil rights, kenji yoshino suggests that people need to propose for the new human rights to protect their own identities. However, it is difficult to interact with other people with true identity, but appiah suggests that conversation is good start. The primacy of practice shows how to build cosmopolitism.
