The Intersection of Psychology, Sociology, and Ethics in Social Human Rights
I, Venerable Chigon Chisi Chakma
ABSTRACT:
I am deeply committed to exploring the complex relationships between psychology, sociology, and ethics, particularly in the context of social human rights. This paper examines how these three disciplines intersect to provide a comprehensive understanding of social human rights, which include rights related to education, health, work, and social security. Psychology offers insights into the mental and emotional impacts of human rights violations, helping to understand trauma, resilience, and the psychological consequences of social deprivation. Sociology contextualizes these experiences within broader social structures, analysing how power dynamics, social norms, and institutional practices contribute to either the protection or violation of social human rights. Ethics provides the moral framework, guiding the principles of justice, fairness, and dignity that underpin human rights advocacy. By integrating psychological, sociological, and ethical perspectives, this paper argues for a holistic approach to understanding and addressing social human rights. Such an interdisciplinary approach is essential for developing effective strategies to protect and promote human dignity and social justice on a global scale.
