There has been a continuing debate over the issue that people different personalities and interests cannot be friend. Some people think that people with difference cannot be a friends; however, other people believe that difference between each other can make benefits. Oviously, while there are most certainly advantages and disadvantages to both, in my opinion, we can be a friends with people who have difference for some reasons.
First of all, being a freind with people with different personalities and interest can gives us various experiences, and to build a good character. For example, when I was in army, there were certanly different people. They were came from different city, and have different social background. In the beginning of that time, it was hard to make harmony, and same issues of topics to share; however, after few months later, we have started to understand differences between us, and to make teamwork. As a result, when we had a military exercise, we were selected as the best team of the company.
Second of all, the society without diversity have always fallen historically. Diversity is the main part of democracy system, and develop our society. In ther history, the country with harmony between enemy have developed more than other country. The Roman Empire, one of the biggest empire in history, was able to extend its territory due to diversity. When they conquer other empire, they respect the difference in the country they conquer. Respecting other was the main drive force of how The Roman Empire conquer other country with no revolts from others.
In conclusion, we live in a culture that promotes democratic values of being fair to one and all, the importance of fitting into a group, and knowing how to cooperate with other people. Many phychologists and sociologists have argued that it is through conflict that problems are often solve and real differences reconciled. In these day, our successes and failure in life can be traced to how well or how badly we deal with the inevitable conflicts that confront of us in society. For these reason, I beileve that it is better to become a friend with differences. |
