o
Another person's ideas, assumptions, and values influence the research question they develop on "Human Rights and Inequality." Individuals' cultural views may cause them to emphasize concerns about civil rights and freedoms, but political assumptions may affect their focus on government involvement or systematic unfairness. Social values, shaped by upbringing and experiences, may focus attention on problems of diversity and inclusion. Personal experiences with prejudice may also influence research topics, especially those involving specific areas of inequality such as gender or race. Furthermore, economic viewpoints may shape questions concerning the effect of economic policy on income distribution and social welfare. Individuals' varying ideas and
values generate a broad variety of study issues, reflecting many viewpoints and objectives in society.
