‘Apolitical humanitarianism’ describes traditional notions of humanitarianism, where humanitarian organisations value impartiality, neutrality, and recognition of state sovereignty. ‘Rights-based humanitarianism’ is often political, with its proponents willing to take stances in conflicts and neglect state sovereignty. For example, during the Nigerian Civil War, the International Committee of the Red Cross respected the Nigerian government’s decision to end the famine by disallowing agencies to provide food to the seceding Biafra. Another NGO, Oxfam, disregarded the Nigerian government’s directive by supplying aid to Biafra.

'Arkangel' is a futuristic technology which involves implanting a device into a child's brain, allowing parents to monitor their child's location and vital signs in real-time. Additionally, parents can use a tablet to see through the child's eyes, censor disturbing or sensitive images and events, and track their emotional state. The technology also enables parents to set boundaries and restrictions on what the child sees and experiences, effectively controlling their environment.

'Deinstitutionalization' refers to the process of reducing or eliminating the reliance on large, centralized institutions, such as psychiatric hospitals for the care and treatment of individuals with mental illness or developmental disability.
