Hutchins, forme? Pregident of the University of Chicago
and currently Director of the Fund for the Republic
States, said that the principal reason why civil liberties
as traditionally defined and defended do not interest the
Americans is that they are inadequate to express the
true dimensions of the problems of freedom and justice
today.
He insists by way of example, that the individual
now needs protection from, quote, "the remorseless tenden-
cy of the industrial system."
In the 18th and 19th centuries, we accorded roan
the rights of protections to operate as a free individual,
We have seen the problems that came to roan in society
because man was free and creative, but in this century,
particularly in this latter third of the 20th century, it
is impossible for man to be free when acting alone in
the economic realmn.
The sheer nature of our society demands man's
freedom to act in groups when dealing with his economic
requirements. Within this frame of reference, this right
does deserve Constitutional status. |
