It is detrimental to the future of our nation to continue to avoid informing ourselves, our peers, and our children about all walks of life. In order to grow it is important that we treat others with respect, and learn to listen to new ideas and explore all that the world has to offer. If we decide to choose a life full of love, rather than hate, imagine how much we could achieve. It is okay to have opinions and views that are different from others, that is what makes us all unique and impactful. But when those opinions translate into nefarious misdoings, the conclusion is one large step backwards in social equality and rightful progressive movements.
