As a nation, our greatest strength is our diversity of backgrounds and life experiences. A homogenous nation tends to stagnate because there are no differing opinions that lead to positive conflict and progress.
Our greatest weakness is our intolerance for different opinions. Some people not only refuse to accept that others have different points of view, but sometimes they take to name-calling or even engage in violent actions.
We need to stop being âoffendedâ and accept that a diverse population will have diverse points of view.
