0 <br />When given t h i essay, I f elt confused and frustrated. I <br />haven't had many experiences dealing with major equal r gh' <br />problems. When I started to really think and discus5 these <br />problems, I learned that every day over in ray ors world) people <br />are touched by these crimes, <br />The equal rights issues have some thing common, Racial <br />tensions arise h an PEOPLE HATE other PEOPLE of different ra e. <br />Hate crimes occur when PEOPLE HATE and harm others that are <br />different. Sexual harrasment occurs when a PERSON treats a <br />PERSGN of the opposite sex in an inappropriate way. Gay and <br />l e b i a.n bashing happens when PEOPLE HATE GAY AND LESBIANS, <br />Notice the words that are capitalized; l-I are <br />alike: PE PLE HATING PEOPLE, <br />a <br />Now that r'e l ize these problems, I need to relate it to my. <br />own world to see i+, and how, I can help. I believe it'. s my dut <br />to be a good e xample. M y example would be treating people who <br />are different in the same way that I would want to be treated. <br />could also join in peaceful protests that stand up for equal <br />rights, but in a non—violent way. Also, I could be on the <br />look—out for someone who might be of a different race, color, or <br />creed, that might need a friend or need help. I could look for <br />someone who has been sexually harassed or i s sexually harassing <br />som8one else. And even though I am involved with many other <br />activities, I can include watching the n ews and reading the paper <br />to urth-er my edu at i on of these problems, and to know what is <br />going on in the world. If I did this, I would help myself to be <br />able to deal with these problems when they come up. <br />Sara Sertich <br />
