WE ARE ALL SAME BUT

DIFFERENT

People all around the world have
differences and similarities. Those differences

and similarities make us unique. If our
differences and similarities don’t exist, we
won’t survive that long. Our differences make

the world more colorful and interesting. Our
similarities unite us around some important
values such as justice, equality, etc. Life

would be so boring if we were all the same.
However those similarities make us a part of the world. We must recognize and
accept differences among each other and within the community. We were born

with our own set of genes and DNA. Our color, culture, religion, nationality,
language, appearance, gender and properties are different as well. Our
opinions and personalities are different, too. The most important thing about

our differences is that they figurate our future and improve our personalities.

Although we think that our differences are much more than our
similarities, differences are finite; on the other hand similarities are infinite.

First of all, everybody needs same basic life conditions such as; health,
education, nutrition, security, home and dressing facilities. Secondly, we all try
to live in a society which has equality, justice, peace, and everybody wants to

be respected. Human rights are inevitable, too. We also give similar reactions
in case of sorrow and happiness such as; birth, wedding, funeral ceremonies.
Music, art and sports are some important merits which make us come

together, too.

Eventhough we are in the 21 century, there are still some people who
st
don’t realize how different we are. Therefore, they can’t understand why

others don’t see the world the same way we do. Defining respect and
overcoming prejudice, bias and racism will remove all the barriers between
cultures.

As a conclusion conflicts are always useful and necessary for us to
improve ourselves. If we were all alike, we would be bored to tears, and life
would be unbearable.
