Reaction Paper:
Embracing our Differences
In today’s society, people believe that it is not okay to
be different. They need to understand that people of different skin color,
nationality, weight. height, etc., have lived together since life began. It may
not always have been easy, but it happened.
Professor Lopez and Professor Keener, brought my
photography career seminar class to see the banners that were promoting
diversity that were displayed out in
front of the Sagtikos building at Suffolk County Community College. As I walked
around looking at all these banners I noticed that each one was different. They
were created by people of all different ages and different styles of art. Each
one was different but had the same meaning--everyone is different, but we’re
still people and everyone is deserving of respect.
I know from personal experience that being bullied is
horrible. To go to school everyday and being called mean names I was labeled
different in high school because I am overweight and so I can only imagine what
it is like to have a different skin color, or nationality. My label is
something that I could change, but you cannot change where you come from.
