Long Island, also known as a diverse community for many people, helps many of us become more aware of other cultures and religions. Having a combination of different religions and living together makes us more known to the world. We, as an island surrounded by millions of people, do not appreciate the unique and wonderful things we are given. Others, such as tourists or people from all over the world, may not feel the same way, however. In many nations around the world, people are unable to experience the social interactions and bonds they could feel and understand. Living with different types of cultures around you is also very smart for many people. You could learn a lot about someone's background or country just by interacting or spending time with them. For example, you can learn about different foods, clothes, fashion, and the kind of lifestyle others might have. Living together helps keep us in harmony and peace. If we didn't get along or maybe share some ideas we wouldn't be such a diverse community. Know and understand...
