respecting diversity

Living on a diverse planet, we are subjected to people of different race, sex, religion and political view. Everyone is different and unique which makes respecting diversity an important issue in today’s society. Unfortunately, it seems as if the world has turned a blind eye towards this issue.

Telling the world to end the burdensome act of racism instantaneously is impossible, as words, truthful as they may be, may be an attempt at rushing to the finish line. Inevitably, refusing to look and see who someone truly is does not mean that a man is invisible, only that the onlooker is truly blind.
