  Tolerance vs. Apathy

  Learning more about other cultures

Submitted By:   laurakenyon
Committers:  741
Date Created:  2007-11-01

The more we learn about other cultures the less misconceptions and stereotypes there will be! Educating yourself about different cultures will not only make you a more knowledgeable and tolerant person, but you will gain respect for cultures and the people who are a part of them.
