| Introduction | I like to learn new things and am open to different ideas -- in the belief that through having varied experiences and meeting different types of people, one can truly understand another's customs, beliefs, and ideologies. One doesn't necessarily have to accept them, but one can try to UNDERSTAND them. Through understanding, we may be able to get rid of the negative stereotypes we have of each other. |
