control travel, international communication, public assernbly, standards of education and the <br />demographics in certain occupational fields. This blatant discriminatior� has been decreed as unjust on a <br />state, national and international scale, being denounced in the core of tlae Minnesota Human Rights Act, <br />Amendznent IV of the �ill of 1Zights, and Article 30 of the UI�HI�, which says "...no society, no human <br />being, should act in such a way as to destroy the hrights which you have just been reading about" . <br />Even though our law and policy is no longer blatantly discriminatory, the public attitude often overrules <br />and our rriindset is prejudiced. <br />This discrimination and fear is overwhelming our society and controlling our behaviors. In order <br />to fix our mistakes we must change the instinctual reactions, and lead people to recognize the similarities <br />between "them" and "us". When we impose stereotypes on people we deny them their right of <br />individuality, and limit their ability to develop into a full and complete member of society, As Article 29 <br />of the Universal Decla.ration of I�uman Rights states, "The law should guarantee hurnan rights. It should, <br />allow everyone to respect others and be respected." In Minnesota the people that enforce these laws <br />prevent us from moving forward. Only when all people can see one another as an individuals, free of <br />stereotypes and group prejudices, will we achieve equality under the law and the society that all people <br />deserve. <br />
