Health, Globalisation and Human Rights
Literature
Assessment
,For essay
Example: rebuttal + HRPs → slide overnemen
General feedback:
Balance new and older references
Move from health to human rights (argue based on ethics → use sources)
Aim to show why argument is convincing instead of the opinion is convinced → don't solve
the dilemma in conclusion
Make it more complicated → show critical thinking
Use principles/theories - from human rights & ethical theories + explain why its
relevant in this context
Keep showing the conflict/tension in the text (within one principle or between
different)
Use consequences together with utilitarianism or deontology
Bv. alinea met mening/argument van verschillende authors to show complexity
When starting arguments - explain what is meant by the concept, e.g. autonomy
Which values are being compromised
Make sure to elaborate on the context
,Weigh arguments: when x happens y will//will not happen this should outweigh x (use
principles)
Look at consequences of human rights principles - don’t just use the terms
End paragraph with a resolution or a rebuttal, / explains what is missing and how to address
this.
Be aware of what you compromise on - state this also in conclusion and essay
- It's a dialogue and not a debate
For arguments from sources look for important people that wrote about this topic and have
theories → use in the final essay: In accordance with the theory from xxx (year).
Only when we know this person → otherwise just in brackets
Already tell in intro your principles (how are you going to argue for this) + stance
Specify context in essay
Provide a theory
Tell something about the conflicting values
At the end use deepl
Show really clear which argument is in favour / against
One example of argument is medical vs social model; there are 2 ways of looking at x. The
first is the medical model….
Check reference style on canvas
400 word essay
1 argument voor & 1 tegen
1000 words (no 10% rule, references in text don’t count)
1. What is the standpoint and context
2. Look for articles
3. Decide structure
Use a creative title
Intro: general → context → tension → position → how argued for (principles) → practical
alternative (regulations)
Intro = Make the dilemma/debate clear - the moral dilemma is… + This essay will argue
for/against x
When starting arguments - explain what is meant by the concept, e.g. autonomy (show
critical thinking, to which values do autonomy contribute)
Which values are being compromised
Use the articles on the declarations
Structure: Statement (topic sentence) → source → example → explanation → link
, (next paragraph / statement)
2-3 arguments + counter in same paragraph (you don’t need a counter for all arguments -
you can use an overarching counter) - it can be 1 small part of what you advise for/use in
your argument
Topic sentence = not only the principle = about position
Use principles/theories - from human rights & ethical theories + explain why they
are relevant in the given context
Show how the principles interconnect
Your counter argument should be the opposite of your answer to the argument + add
rebuttal why not relevant (make sure its still human rights related)
Use transition sentence between argument for and against
Use examples (e.g indigenous knowledge when talking about cultural sensitivity) /
theories
Sources: Tell what author from the source did (provide the context and show
credibility) - e.g. their study/theory was on x
Make sure references are case specific - e.g. not abortion in general but in an
abortion restricted country
Show a dialogue not a discussion
Add counter + rebuttal (mini conclusion at the end of every paragraph - what is
compromised)
Topic sentence: introduce everything this paragraph is about - There is a constant
conflict between…. → explain the definitions + context + counter + rebuttal (counter
of the first argument/mini conclusion)
Dont make the consequences extreme
Finish paragraphs with conclusion
Conclusion: weigh your arguments and address why then this leads to your view on the
statement
Weigh arguments: when x happens y will//will not happen this should outweigh x (use
principles)
don't solve the dilemma in conclusion
Start with: In weighing this arguments
Show a step in which you show that the consequences that would result far outweigh
x&x
Add something new, not just a summary (also rephrase sentences) + practical
alternatives (how will it look like in practise (between who/how is it equitable)) →
don't make it health focusses keep with the principles etc.
Whole story - combine all rebuttals together not just a summary
The position from your intro has to come back in every paragraph
Autonomy is an important human right principle to argue for/against
