In class this week we learned about tolerance and truth. We should be tolerant of other people and their beliefs, values, cultures and personalities. Everyone may not believe what we do, or be the same as us, but that does not mean we can't tolerate or respect others values. We can learn something from just about any culture. Incorporating aspects from other cultures into our lives may enhance our life experiences and give us different views of our surroundings.
Being tolerant to other cultures does not, however, mean to be numb to other cultures. There are bad things to every culture as well. We need to seek truth and research what is uplifting and right.
There are some cultures that may have no truth or good in it such as, the "serial killer" culture. This "serial killer" culture is something to avoid. We must tolerate other cultures but first of all seek truth and use careful judgement that we do not become numb to evil things. We must seek truth for ourselves. If we are not sure if it is true or not, it is not smart to always rely on other people. You should research it for yourself if it is true, and if be your belief, pray to find out if it is right.
As people, we are all equal, no matter what race we are, what religion we practice, or what economic status we are. After all, as someone in my class said this week, "There is only one race. The human race!!!" There is actually a really good children's book called, " Is There Really a Human Race?" by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell. It is a children's book but I think it is a good read for anyone!! It has a really good message! Go check it out!! (:
