�bCLL" LU i e <br />Defendina Human Rights <br />according to the Declaration of Human Rights, all human <br />beings should act toward each other in a spirit of brotherhood, <br />there should be no discrimination regardless of race or religion, <br />and everyone has the right to a national identity. i, of curse, <br />agree that these rights are entirely appropriate, and that they <br />should not be denied to anyone. But there is also the matter of <br />article number nineteen. This article states treat, "Everyone has <br />the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this includes <br />freedom to half opinions Without interference.st <br />Based on these statements, I have decided that the best <br />course of action f or the given situation could be as f ol I ows. I <br />would clearly state to my family member or neighbor that in my <br />opinion these "different people" should not be prejudiced against <br />merely because of their race or religion, Yet I would make sure <br />that this person did not think that I was only taking the change t4 <br />criti cize them, for they might take to the defensive and became <br />much less open to and other ideas. One other approach that I could tike would be to suggest to <br />the pe, rson that they try imagining what i t would be like to be i n <br />the "different" person's shoes. Then they might actually realize <br />how harsh it could be to be disliked by someone dust because of a <br />fact that doesn't make them any worse of a person.. I believe it is <br />my responsibility as an American citizen to carry out the <br />preceding stategy if such a situation or one similar to it, were to <br />ever occur. <br />I f everyone would at lest try to d4 these things our planet <br />would be a much more pleasant place to live. <br />
