Answer:

Equality

Explanation:

In the Bible, in Leviticus 24:20 therefore in Torah (since it is one of the first five books of the Old Testament) we also have this teaching:

"Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again." Leviticus 24:20 (KJV)

If we expand the chapter to some more verses:

20 "Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God." Leviticus 24:20-22 KJV

As we can see, the basic premise is all that is taken must be equally repaid.

While, in Greece, another Classical Teaching on the matter, Aristotle sees rights comparing the citizens and the Polis. Aristotle says that this is a consequence of the Polis and its citizens. Then, we must consider what was citizenship in the Polis.

In this excerpt, the horizontal relationship is between people and how they account for the Almighty God.

So the outlined basic human right here is equality.

Over the years and with the constant evolution of society, it is normal for some of the rights of humanity to be reformulated and even replaced by better rights and more consistent with the well-being of society.

As seen above, the Mosaic Law "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", stipulated that an individual had to pay their crimes in the same currency. Thus, if a person killed someone, they should be punished with death. Currently, this concept is completely replaced by basic human rights that are defended by the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights", which states that everyone has the right to life and security, regardless of their crimes.

I can do Bosnia-Herzegovina since I only learned about that mostly :) (if that’s ok)

Period of Communism: Brutal battles raged across the republic between 1941-1945. Although the Partisan movement initially consisted mainly of Serbs, its leadership strived to maintain equal rights of all three nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The history of Bosnia has not been easy, it has been conquered by many foreign powers and has become religiously and nationally divided. During the II World War Bosnia was occupied by Croatia and fell victim to ethnic cleansing and civil war. Part of population joined Croatian forces, other Serbian Chetniks and third communist partisans.

In 1944-1945 communist partisans achieved victory, Yugoslavian Republic was created and the terror against the non communist forces launched. After mass-killings in 1945, thousands of people were arrested and send to the labour camps. Even as compared to other communist countries Yugoslavia was liberal country and developed well, the opposition was not allowed. In 1983 several moslem dissidents were send to jail, as a result conflicts only increased in Bosnia. After the collapse of communism bloody civil war started. Bosnia has even not by now healed the wounds of this terrible conflict.

How did a more advanced knowledge of monsoon winds help stimulate trade from Africa to Asia

matrenka [14]

Monsoons are one of the most destructive natural phenomena in Asia, but they also limit Africa's trade with the Asian continent, as navigation is severely affected by strong monsoon winds; this affects trade between the two continents, as merchant ships travel from Africa to across the Indian Ocean (which is the monsoon zone), so understanding when and how the winds form will help keep the cargo ships and merchandise, thus increasing trade between Afrika and Asia.
