Presentations by Mr. Helgi Eyford
Ruth Eyford works with Couples that are interested in improving their marital relationship. She uses commonly practiced therapies as well as the Baha'i Writings. She says that her use of the Baha'i Writings in improving the relationship of these couples does work. Her goal in writing the paper that is being presented at this conference was to transition our understanding from the philosphical to the practical in assessing and improving relationships.
"Human rights are bestowed by men on men on the grounds that men think themselves to be." Helgi Eyford claims this statement is the specific thesis of his talk.
This paper addresses two things: 1) the idea of human rights; and 2) the history of human rights. Must be a thesis behind the law of human rights that make people willing to obey it. "What man is and what conduces to his betterment is ultimately found in religious traditions. Ideas of truth and human nature are wedded to social practices."
