With black birds following me
One of the biggest problems in the world today is the way people treat each other. Whether it be the because somebody is gay , black ,from a different country, they act different, etc., people just don't seem to be capable of getting over differences and learning to treat everybody equally.
The Idea of this thread is which is the best way for society as a whole to move past this and treat everyone equal; by considering everybody the same and treating everyone equally, or , by acknowleding people as different than you but respecting it anyways.
On the one hand, everybody being acknowledged as the same would prevent the idea of someone ever being considered different, and would therefore prevent stereo-typing and generalizing any race or group of people. Not even thinking that "this is an asian man", but that he is "a man".
On the other hand, I think it is important for differences to be celebrated and incouraged. Living in a world where people are no longer thought of as being unique or different than everybody else just doesn't seem like a good idea to me. However, this will always cause people to instictivly think of people as being different and not the same as you , but in a bad way.
So what do you think? Which is a better way of thinking?
