Figure 2.2 A Bill of Rights (based on material taken from a workshop on assertiveness training by Patricia Jakubowski-Spector, July 1974, University of Maryland). There are almost as many bills of rights as there are people working in this area, each with its own particular emphasis. All emphasize the right of the individual to be oneself, to be different, to self-express, and to be treated with respect and consideration. Most of them emphasize an equally basic essential, the responsibility to extend the same rights to others. This older bill covers these fundamentals and is still relevant today.
