The Interpersonal Sites of Systemic Perpetuation: How the Inheritance of Generational Trauma Has Culminated in a Global System of Exploitation

MCGILL INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM | WORKING PAPER SERIES
Summer 2021

I explore how the generational trauma we inherit collectively perpetuates global systems of exploitation. Our relationships are alienated and we seek to control one another, and this dynamic underpins international legal structures. We need to understand these psychological and evolutionary dynamics to transform global society and uphold human rights.

I examine how legal definitions of personhood and private property rights influence global development. I argue that reevaluating these concepts is essential to eradicate poverty and uphold human dignity, advocating for transformative ideological change.
