Cultural Respect
On the Importance of Culture: Respect for culture, its appreciation, and preservation are the keys to winning people’s hearts and achieving success. Those who disregard, fight against, deny, or even hide behind another culture have neither a future nor the means to be respected by others. For the development of humanity as a whole, this is not a loss but rather a positive outcome. – Let us always hope for humanity’s ability to gain insight.
