Thanked: 5Hi
This is an imotive subject that is touching everyone in the Western world. The increase in technology and the speed of communications has brought news to your screen sometimes minutes after it has happened. The problem is, you only see snap shots of the events and stories, we dont always get the full picture and we must be concious of this.
Multi culturalism, free travel to work, mixed marriages etc are a good thing in my opinion as they bring all countries and faiths together, and that makes for a safer future.
About thirty years ago as a young man I was convinced via the media that Russia was a major threat and that all Russian people disliked the West etc etc. Over the past Seven years I have met many Eastern European people who are lovely people, and I have made good friends both socially and in business. We have spoken together about the events over the past twenty years and at the same time I was thinking bad things about them, their Government was telling them that we were a threat to them....... and so it goes on.
In conclusion, we are educated people, we can make up our own minds. I personally feel that a balanced and fair distribution of peoples agendas, faiths etc should be aired within society. All faiths need to come on board and be transparent. The less we know about a faith or people makes us hesitant and more likely to percieve them as a threat.
We all only have one shot at life, enjoy it whilst it lasts, theres a whole lot more we can do than tear each other apart.
Kind Regards
