It is not that you set the individual apart from society but that you recognize in any society that the individual must have rights that are guarded.

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world ... Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere.

There is in every country an antipathy to the foreigner.
