When we look around our community, our country and our world, does everyone look and act the same? No! While there are similarities, there are also differences. Some people look at differences as “bad”- are they? They might fear those differences, look down at those differences or even be disgusted by those differences- why? But differences is what makes this world great– they allow us to make progress in many different areas like science, art, technology and more!
