Other cultures? Other people? Opposite sex? Different age? Culture is undeniable; Whether we go to school, home, or even if we're just hanging out with our friends... Culture can be originated by many different things, ethnicity, religion, sex, age, and environment. Therefore, overall we can conclude that each and everyone that we meet or that we are confronted with at least have some different or opposing culture or ideas.
Prejudice is something that we should set aside in our minds when in contact with different people. Our human nature makes it impossible to not judge someone who's different but we should at least try. We should love everyone even our enemies. We should respect and have courtesy towards others. We should not talk with them in a condescending matter, but rather in a way that either treats them as a superior or equal. Finally, we should always have in mind that they're God's child.
But the main question we should ask our self when we are confronted with others is can we manage to keep our negative thoughts to our self. We know that it's impossible to look and think about everyone with the everlasting love God views them. Somehow if we can make come to the conclusion that we are not able to we should have enough self control and maturity to walk away from the situation so that nobody gets scarred.
To be confronted is to be face to face with something. To be confronted with different cultures means living life because nowhere we go in the world we are always face to face to some type of culture. So to be matured enough to walk away or accept a culture of other people is a life lesson.
