My point of view how people of diverse backgrounds can get along better is when they speak the same language. We must first educate ourselves about their backgrounds and respect each other. When speaking the same language we can communicate and understand each other better. I want to give an example, if you are between two Turkish people and they are arguing or you think they are, it might not be that true. When some Turkish people talk it might seem that they are yelling at each other. Its not that they are mad it is just how they communicate to each other. If you would know the language you would understand the situation. Educating us about people, your neighbors, classmates, or friends’ background is important. Imagine yourself as a Christian inviting your Jewish or Muslim neighbor for a baby back rib barbecue. That would be considered very rude. If you would take the time to know them better it wouldn’t be embarrassing. Maybe you did know that your neighbor is Jewish or Muslim but didn’t educate yourself what they eat or not, just ask what kind of meat they prefer. Asking questions is not embarrassing or rude; it shows that you are interested in their background. Respect all the people without thinking they have a different background than you. No matter they have white, dark, or yellow skin, they are short, tall, or come from a different country. They are all humans like you.
I add a video from YouTube, it is just a commercial. I thought it fits well together with my blog.
