Alexis H. SCH North Korea THS conference 08'

Xenophobia is the fear or hatered of strangers or foreingners or anything that is strange or foreign. this topic has became a problem within the past years. This irrational fear of other races, social groups and relgion has caused problems such as holocaust, WW2, and civil rights act. this problem has gotten very bad in south africa. There has been very brutal attacks on foreigners that enter curtain areas. There is a group of people that are highly Xenophobic some are called Arrian Nation or Skin heads. people like this get tattoos of swastikas and other acts of proud hatetred. Xenophobia can be stopped and is not a permanate process. xenophobia has been overcame by some people whose eyees were opened by adapting to a multicultural life. Xenophobia is a tragity that we believe can be abolished. __**UN Involvement**__ the un has made many treaties and that state that discimination will be elimanated. xenophobia is an intolerable act that can be stopped. the un has treaties making sure that if someone is hurt because of a hate crime or an intolerance that that person can(will) be sent to jail. In 2002 the un held a meeting on racism, discrimination, and xenophobia. this conference contained members of african countries for the most part but apparently that wasnt good enough. North Korea beleives that we do not have this problem. we like the way we run our country, it is traditional and efficent. this issue has became a world wide problem that we do not cope with. north Korea is willing to help other countries with this issue and get rid o this global problem. i think you should have classes for xenophobic peole that are taught to them by a teacher of there disent. after the students progress in there class they can have them visit the other xenophobic classes of other races and they can slowly get comfortable around other races. We have a solution that we think can decrease the number of xenophobic attacks and hate crimes, Called S.T.E.L.L.E.R. which stands for Start The Equality Lets Love Each Race. this program would be like a class or a therapy that xenophobic people go to. During the class they will make small steps towards there goal which would be being tolerent to other not only races but ages, genders, or religous perspectives. i think that all the treaties against Xenophobia were a good idea but iF we do not really put these treaties out there than were still not going to have the eFFect that we need it to have in order or it to be eFFective.
