Culture

We are all different. Not just in looks, but in how we act, what we do and even how we think. This isn't a bad thing, it's just how we are. I will think differently then the two people sitting across form me at the library. Even though we live in the same place and we probably have the same faith, they both have different backgrounds and families. To them, my ways might even seem offbeat and maybe even strange, but it is just how I am. In today's world, some people have a very narrow view on how people should behave. Although I don't agree with what some cultures believe, that doesn't mean that I look down on them or see them in a different way. I know that my family might do things differently, and I like the way we do it, but others like their way because that's what they grew up with.
