After our discussion of "Salad Bowl" vs "Melting Pot", I think it is very important we try to take this as an opportunity to help future generations. Though we do today live in a society that is largely assimilation based, we have seen the conflict that can come with the 'need' for other cultures to assimilate. We need to start teaching children to understand that there will always be differences amongst us, whether it is a single belief or for a magnitude of differences. As I said before, I was alienated for what I consider to be a small character of mine, and I don't want another child to deal with such harmful ignorance.
