Celebrating Diversity and Tolerance

We are all unique and special in our own way, so we need to treat everyone with equality no matter who they are.

Some things that shape our identity and diversity are:
- gender
- relationships
- values and beliefs
- our goals and aspirations
- personality
- education
- life experiences
- family,friends,where we live and culture
- our abilities
- perceptions on how we see ourselves and the world
etc.

As you can see their are many things that form who we are, and our perception of ourselves, which ties in with our sense of self.
What is your favourite food? Colour? Singer/band? Animal? TV show? Sport?

Have a think about how you are unique and different to others,and what makes you special.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now diversity is one thing but having tolerance and accepting others for who they are is another thing all together. Just think of it as treating others which respect, acceptance and dignity as you would like other to show to you. As we found out everyone is unique and people will have differences in beliefs, hobbies, ideas etc.

Tolerance is the act of respecting people's differences.

Embrace other people's differences and you can learn from them. A world filled with tolerance is a world of peace, compromise and acceptance.

I hope this post helped us to recognize our uniqueness and celebrate not only our qualities, but other people and how to accept difference and diversity.
