Abstract

Democracy has a crucial role in tfle education process of future generations and human rights education constitutes one of the main elements of democracy education. The education programs on human rights depicts differences among countries. As a result of this, the global human rights values are hardly accepted by the citizens of different countries. Despite the main target of human rights education concentrates on individuals, limited common activities in this area decreases the possibility of a common approach. Moreover, the differences in internalisation of universal thought on human rights not only negatively affect the unique view provided by globalisation, but also cause inequity. Examining various applications of human rights education will also be helpful for the proper implementation of Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In this paper, the historical evolution of human rights education in Turkey is examined as well as different other human rights education applications in other countries. This paper, therefore, provides a comparative analysis of human rights education and evalutes Turkey's situation in the light of human right education.
