Day 25: Race relations and how we treat others (read paragraph then watch video)
We live in the world with people who are different from us in many ways: color of skin, some are richer or poorer than us, some look differently (larger/smaller, skinnier/fatter, some can't see or hear, etc.), many speak different languages, most have different ideas about God, etc. Getting along and treating those who are different is fundamental to the human experience (much less what is expected of us who believe that we are ALL children of God).
Human nature (i.e. the "natural man") causes us to treat people who are different than us... differently. Is that right or wrong? How should we treat others?

First of all, I clicked on the video and it said that I couldn't watch it because "restricted mode is on". But I can still give you my opinion. I believe that you shouldn't mistreat someone because of differences. Whether they are physical differences, difference in status, or difference in belief, we are all human beings and deserve to be treated as such. No one is better than everyone else. However, with that being said, there are some people who needed to be treated differently than others because in difference in situations. For example, people who are blind and require seeing eye dogs deserve to be allowed to bring their seeing eye dog in places where "animals aren't allowed". People with disabilities can't be treated the exact same way as everyone else but they still deserve to be treated like a human being and with respect. You should be aware of a persons differences and how they might affect them so you know the best way to make sure you make them feel respected and equal to you. Because everyone is equal. No one is better than anyone else.
