Don't Judge
Personally, one of the values that is extremely important to me, is understanding. I was raised to be understanding of other people and their beliefs, and that even if you completely do not agree with their beliefs or actions, you have to be understanding of them. Everyone is different, and especially when you enter different countries or parts of the world, people are raised with different beliefs and understanding. For example, people who support the KKK or are racist, usually did not just wake up one day and chose that way of thinking. It has probably been instilled in them since they were young, and honestly, they had very little say in thinking that way, and unfortunately, it will probably not change unless they are re-educated. It is hard for us to understand how they can think that way, and we view them as terrible people, but that is how they grew up, and they do not think that same way we do. While I do not believe what they do is right, who am I to judge them? It is important to understand that they are not evil people, they just think differently than I do, and it is not necessarily their fault.
