Versus

Everywhere I look, I see a diversity of people walking our streets. Streets filled with Caucasians, Mexicans, Asians, blacks, and many more. Usually these days’ people take the easy way and hang out with their own kind of people. If people took some time to introduce themselves to other people in different groups, they might have a more diverse group of friends. Whenever we look at a group of people we aren’t familiar with, we always judge them by their appearances. We have to start accepting different cultures, and accepting ideas other than our own. People’s cultures can actually be similar to ours if we find the time to compare and contrast them. What might be normal to me might be frowned upon in their culture or environment. Our neighborhood and surrounding environments are filled with every type of person and us as a society need to accept that and be open minded. Media and other forms brain wash me to think something is normal when most people aren’t even like that. I need to live life the way I want to live it and not have someone else or a group of people tell me otherwise.
