and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry
are equal in value no matter what their color.”

Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings,
different hopes, different dreams."

People can be categorized in many ways, such as by gender, race, religion, ethnicity, language, income, age, or sexual orientation.Look around and you will see that our society is very diverse. cultural diversity brings together the resources and talents of many people for the shared benefit of all. Sadly, the differences among us have historically formed the basis of fear, bigotry, and even violence. multiculturalism advocates the idea that maintaining our different cultural identities can enrich us and our communities. diversity allows us to value our individual heritages and beliefs while respecting those of others. Lack of respect is often based on ignorance or misinformation. If you do not understand another's values, lifestyle, or beliefs, it is much easier to belittle them. And so the seeds of prejudice and intolerance are sown.
