Social Class & Cultural Diversity

Unfortunately society always separates people into categories, either good or bad. This week we decided if all cultures were equally valid or not. My answer was yes and no. Everyone has the right to live their own culture unless it is impending upon the rights of others. Hating diversity is actually what got Germany into the mess of killing millions of innocent people, and that is unacceptable. That is the kind of culture that is not valid; one who doesn't care about the life of others. I think a lot of what we have to celebrate in life is diversity because it keeps life interesting. If two people were exactly alike one of them would be unnecessary. God didn't create us all the same, he wanted us to be different and have something special to bring to this life. Being a part of the LDS culture is a huge blessing because we have members around us that can uplift us and not make us compromise our standards and that's a comfort to me.
