Read
the entire manual which is
presented in a logical format:
- To learn
about individual experiences on
discrimination or intolerance by not
accepting others as sisters and brothers
through asking the question 'will you
consider me as your brothers and sisters,
only if I am not...?'
- To
understand why this happens through
'dignity & freedom' explaination
based on the point of view of psychology,
religion and human rights points of view.
- To
understand that not respecting others
means discriminating them and
discrimination is derived from 'fear'.
- To
overcome 'fear' one needs 'knowledge'
that everyone is basically equal from
birth under human rights teaching.
- To be able
to start respecting others by freeing
yourself from 'fear' and becoming
'tolerant'.
