Humanist Movement

About Me

The humanist movement is an international organization formed by people of different ages, origins, culture and religion, united by the project to build a truly human society. A society in which the human being, with his needs and aspirations, is the central value. A society in which human rights are completely realized: the right to health, instruction, freedom, spirituality, search for the meaning of life, and an existence with dignity.The project of the Humanist Movement is to realize a radical transformation that must happen in 3 fields in parallel — social, political and personal — in a active non-violent manner.By the end of the 60's Mario Rodriguez Cobos, called Silo, organized the first group to study the social and personal crises that were beginning to manifest in the world. Later on he wrote the first books of the Humanist Movement and gave a pulse to the forming of the initial groups in Argentina and Chile. Because of the military dictatorships that existed in both countries in the 70's, many members of the Movement were forced into moving to Europe, Asia and the United States, where they started to create new groups. Currently the Humanist Movement is present in more that 60 country in the World. www.humanism.org

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

New Humanism is based on two basic points: Solidarity – defined as treating other people the way one would like to be treated and, Coherence – defined as thinking, feeling and acting in the same way. The project of the Humanist Movement is to eradicate war, hunger, poverty and economic exploitation across the planet and develop a new system based on the value of human life as the central value, higher than money, power, prestige, etc. This vision of the future is called the Universal Human Nation. The methodology used is to work in groups and undertake personal development activities as well as social projects. Once sufficiently experienced, new groups develop according to their interests. New Humanists share the following Humanist Attitude: Placing the human being as the central value and concern, in such a way that nothing is above the human being and no human being is above another. Affirming the equality of all human beings. Recognizing personal and cultural diversity, affirming the characteristics proper to each human group and condemning discrimination, whether motivated by economic, racial, ethnic, or cultural differences. Developing knowledge beyond the limitations imposed by prejudices accepted as absolute and immutable truths. Affirming the freedom of ideas and beliefs. Repudiating violence in all its forms.For more info: http://www.humanism.org http://queensimmigrantsfuture.blogspot.com..www.newhumanist. us
