WE ARE THE WORLD

Personality should be the most important consideration when deciding if you want to let someone into your circle of friends not their nationality. Sharing the same nationality may help you when cultural similarities are high on your priority list but this is only a small part of who you really are and should never be the be all and end all in deciding who you should  associate with. That is why it is important that other things should be considered also when determining who should be a part of your circle of friends, like do you share similar interests with them or do you consider that person a good enough person that you would want to get to know better. There is so much more to us than just our cultural beliefs and because of this how are we ever meant to connect to one another purely on our cultural beliefs if we cant relate to them on any other level. If we all had the mindset that the human race should stand together no matter where their descendants may have started from then the prejudices that will hold us back from mingling with those from a different country will be removed and the only borders that will remain will be the ones that we put in place to divide us from those out there who will do us  harm. So judge the individual not the group so that you don't shut yourself away from the deserving all to make space for those who lived near you and shared your  cultural beliefs but never agreed with your values or your personal views. .
