Why do we treat people differently? **I believe that we should treat people from other countries like a best friend.** I know this for many reasons, they're still people, we should forgive and forget, if your mean to people nothing will every get done, and if you give to them when they need help, they will help you when you need help. To me, treating people respectfully is as important as food.


 * They are still people.** They may be different nationality then you, but they are basically the same as you. They could like the same jokes as you, like the same food, they could like almost the exact same things as you. Personally, I have a friend that is from a different country. But we like almost the same exact thing. We are almost the exact same. In the book __Elijah of Buxton__, white people have to work with black people to help keep the colored people safe. We wouldn't treat people in our country, our best friends, badly. So why would you treat someone from another country badly?


 * You should forgive and forget.** I strongly feel that no profit comes out of holding a grudge. A grudge, in the dictionary, is defined as "a feeling of dislike for someone because you cannot forget that they harmed you in the past." I know people that have kept the same grudge or mad feeling at somebody, but if they would have forgiven them, they could of had a great friend. Sometimes people say stuff, but they don't really mean it. In __The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe__, The White Witch holds a grudge against Aslan, and because of that, her country suffers.


 * I also believe that if your mean to people nothing will ever get done.** If you don't talk to someone, an important decision may never be made. And that decision might of impacted people. Like, if countries didn't communicate with each other, countries wouldn't get any imports. And that county might not do as well economically, because they would have less money because they hadn't sold any exports. Also, if Student Council never talked, important decisions regarding the school wouldn't be made.


 * If you give to them in their time of need, they will help you in your time of need.** In the book __Three Cups of Tea__, Greg Mortenson, a mountain climber accidentally wanders into the small town of Korphe. There, people help him in his time of need, so then, he helps them in their time of need. I am also a strong believer that "what comes around goes around." I think that when you do something nice to other people, they will do something nice to you later. I also believe in "Random acts of kindness". Thats when you go out of your way to help someone, but don't ask for anything in return or boast about it. Also, the person you helped wasn't really expecting it, you just kind of do it.

All in all, I hope this essay inspired you to rethink how you feel about people from other countries. For **I believe that you should treat people from other countries like a best friend**. Treating people nicely is like learning how to read. Once you commence trying to do it, it may be hard, but then it becomes a habit. Eventually you don't even think about doing it, you just do.
