The choices of these creatures made through living, day in and day out, action after action, within a realm of choices seemingly guided by free will. Yet, these choices, this illusionary free will, itself, could be nothing more than fate’s mocking mistress. Good and evil not a choice, but rather a predestinated vision preparing to occur. While both Milton’s Paradise Lost and Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus explore the opposition between free will and fate, Milton ponders such through his analysis of Satan and the fallen angels, while, in contrast, Marlowe focuses upon humanity.

Before I can begin to reflect on the issues relating to human rights and subsequent violations, it is important that I begin to recognize what the concept of human rights signifies for other scholars, for victims as well as my own interpretation. Human rights and affiliated practices are inherent and universal due to our belonging to a particular species. However, it is also important to realize that they are dependent on the political, economic and cultural context in which they are practiced, promoted and protected (Dembour, 2010: 7). Human rights have said to emerge out of extreme conflict, rooted in the World War I and World War II, because human rights development created a new language of faith (Guinn, 2016: 759).

I have had a zealous interest in designing, creating, and exploiting art for a long time, but I know that taking this career path in this region is challenging, since the art movement is underappreciated.
