Dos direitos humanos e dos conflitos na sociedade líquida pós-moderna

Abstract

The present paper, developed through the deductive method of approach, and the socioanalytical method of procedure, aims to analyze the conflicts in the post-modern liquid society and the challenges to humanize the social relations from a human rights perspective. In the postmodern liquid society, the polarities are permanent characteristics in the unstable interpersonal relations, which alter themselves from active to passive, from friend to enemy, from safety to risk, from trustable to fear. It is observed that actions and reaction strategies modify in a higher velocity than the human capacity to effectively learn, so it is affirmed the liquid life is marked by precariousness and constant uncertainties, resulting, in this way, in the values fluidity and the relationships fragility, which affect the own interpretation and applicability of human rights. This is the human rights challenge in the post-modernity.
