    The document is a reflection paper discussing equality and discrimination against minority groups. It argues that just because minority groups like the Lumads lack formal education and have different beliefs and customs, it does not make them inferior. All human beings are equal regardless of race, religion, or background. The narrator advocates staying in the Christian town to gain knowledge without using violence, then teaching the mountain people to promote minority rights and prevent discrimination. Overall, the paper stresses that minority groups deserve equal treatment and rights as outlined in human rights declarations.

    Module 5 Reflection

    If I was the narrator, I will stay in the Christian town and continue my studies. I will
    persevere to learn all about the world outside the green area. I can use this knowledge to help
    protect my mountain people, the Lumads. After obtaining the knowledge I got from the
    Christians, I can teach it to the mountain people. I will try my best for the Christian people to
    acknowledge me as an equal. This can avert an all-out war with the Christians and the
    mountain people. I can protect my home without using violence. I can be a representative of
    our tribe to persuade the Christians to not take our land. I can promote minority rights and
    empower minority groups.
    Even nowadays, people still discriminate ethnic groups such as Lumads. They do not
    treat them as an equal. Just because they lack knowledge and education, people see them as
    their inferior. Just because they have dark skin, they have their own beliefs, and they live in
    the mountains, does not mean that they are not like us. Ethnic groups or ethnic people are
    also human beings. They can also learn, and study like us. Not because you have power, you
    have the right to discriminate people. All of us are born free and equal and should be treated
    the same way. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are
    endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of
    brotherhood. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration,
    without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other
    opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. Furthermore, no distinction
    shall be made based on the political, jurisdictional, or international status of the country or
    territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or
    under any other limitation of sovereignty. This should be clearly applied also to minority
    groups. Generally, under human rights instruments, rights are granted to ‘everyone’ without
    discrimination of any kind. Thus, minorities (national or ethnic, religious, and linguistic
    minorities) should enjoy all rights including the right to social security on the same footing as
    most of the population.
    People should start respecting one another. God created us as equals so we should
    play our part. Just because minority groups have their own beliefs, we should still think of
    them as our equals. Equality is about ensuring that every individual has an equal
    opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents. We should not steal freedom from
    them. Minorities also are people who have families just like us. People who are treated fairly
    and have equal opportunity are better able to contribute socially and economically to the
    community, and to enhance growth and prosperity. An equal and fair society is likely to be
    safer by reducing entrenched social and economic disadvantage. Crucially, a society that is
    fair and equal also helps improve all other public value outcomes.
