Blog Prompt 30.1.11

Hi. This is the blog prompt for 30.1.11 because I forgot to do it earlier. This is about a survey in which 67% of youths aged 15-35 have friends of different race, religion, or nationality. I think that we should try to make friends of other backgrounds so that we can understand them better and also know more about their practices and so on so that we will not offend them without knowing it ourselves. For me, I do not have friends of other backgrounds because my primary school was a Chinese school and now I am in Hwa Chong which is also a Chinese school so I have no chance of even meeting anyone of a different background. Personally however, I think that making friends of different backgrounds is too troublesome, firstly because friends eat out together more than any other thing they do together and therefore you have to know what your friend cannot eat and also choose a food that both of you like and also are able to eat. Secondly, you have to put up with their different practices which can be very muddling, and if you forget them even briefly, you might offend and hurt them deeply. So I am already very happy with my circle of Chinese friends who are all just like me.
