0 <br />�hat I can do in my everyday actions to promote human rights� <br />All people are born equal so they should all have the same <br />rights to do what they want. People should not be judged because <br />of their race" culture, religion or because of a disability they <br />have. They should not be judged because they are not good at <br />�ports, dress funny or like a different kind of music. <br />Not everyone is a jock. When someone joins a team sport <br />that isn't very good, I try and give them pointers and help them <br />C like part of the team. When they make a good play, l let <br />them know they did a good job to help build their confidence so <br />they continue to do better in the future. <br />When a person is handicapped or disabled, you should not <br />assume that they are helpless. They have a lot of pride in the <br />fact that they overcome everyday obstacles that I take for <br />granted. ening d oors and getting a drink of water c <br />Op an be a <br />difficult thing for a handicapped person. Instead of just doing <br />everything for a handicapped person, you should ask them if they <br />want help. Bv treating them with respect aod as a friend, you <br />lCok past the handicap and look at the person' A good example <br />would be two years ago when I was playing baseball. A player on <br />the other team hit a good line drive and took off for first. <br />When he was between first and second he stopped running. Here <br />his artificial leg had come undone so he was hooking it back in <br />p1ace. Everyone waited until he was done and he went to second <br />base as if nothing had happened. <br />I have a cousin my age tha� was born deaf. I see him once <br />in a while and we play frisbee" volleyoall and football. We have <br />some problems communicating be�ause I don't know sign 1anguage <br />very well. We end up with our own form of communicating. <br />don't treat him any different than anyone else an� �e have a lot <br />of fun together. Just like normal twelve year o1ds. <br />The school is a big melting pot' Because there are so many <br />kids of different backgrounds, the classes can be made up oƒ <br />blacks, whites, Mexicans, Chinese and so on. Havir.g been in <br />classes with mixed nationalities since my first dav at school, I <br />don't think its any big deal. I just treat L�em all the same. <br />Like the Golden Rules says, 'Do uoto others as you would <br />have them do unto you.'. Everybody should have �he freedom to do <br />what they want. My responsibility is to treat everyone equal as <br />I w0 uld like to be treated myself. <br />
