"Have you ever been in a circumstance where you're being "plucked" out of a place where you belong, where you heart and soul are connected to, and being forced to move to another?

"When you meet someone new, what do you notice first? Do you note the way they look, act or dress? We make assumptions, discriminate and stereotype every day without noticing we are doing it. We automatically make there assumptions with seeing only a small percentage of a person. It's simply part of being human. But sometimes, our minds can run wild and our thought can become dangerous weapons. So why do we do it, how does this affect people and what can we do?

There are 7 continents in the world, around 195 countries and an estimated 7,432,663,275 people. These statistics prove that our world is very diverse. No two people are alike and everyone should be accepted for their differences. However, stereotyping and discrimination still occur more often than you would think. The source of these actions are from none other than the people you know most. Parents, friends, teachers and community have a big influence on our opinions of others."
