Dear All,
This web page makes the statement:
Everything we do, we consider to be the ‘norm’. In America, we do some
things different than the rest of the world, like the metric system.
While we consider the metric system to be normal, the rest of the
world considers it different. Human nature makes us be judgmental and
as soon as something seems different or out of place, we think of it
as weird or wrong. People need to take a step back and realize the
rest of the world is not just like them. The different things every
continent, country, state, or city do makes the world unique and it
should be respected… in a perfect world.
