Text:Celebrate Diversity!
One of the most fascinating aspects about the world is the great diversity that exists among people. So, we need to understand that human beings are indeed very different. And we need to understand exactly what these differences are, so that we can see how such diversity can be enriching.
Our neighborhood may be composed of people from different backgrounds with different traditions, beliefs and lifestyles. Our classmates may represent a variety of nationalities. When we learn about diversity, we can broaden our horizons, open ourselves up to new possibilities and find there are many choices and opportunities in life.
