This quote by Mahatma Gandhi certainly describes an important truth.

We live in a multicultural society and

we strive to embrace differences of thought and tradition. We celebrate the diversity of heritage and past
experiences. We welcome newcomers and make room for strangers. Yet things go awry. Life doesn’t always
feel comfortable or proceed as planned. Friends and family struggle to cope and our systems have difficulty
meeting the demands for care. People say and do things that are disrespectful and inappropriate despite
knowing better. While we strive to embrace multiculturalism, it is helpful to reflect on Ghandi’s statement:
NATION a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular
country or territory:

People a body of persons that are united by a common culture, tradition, or

sense of kinship, that typically have common language, institutions, and beliefs,
and that often constitute a politically organized group
Interconnection
to connect with one another.

verb (used without object)

to be or become connected or interrelated.
NETWORK a large system consisting of many similar parts that
are connected together to allow movement or communication between
or along the parts, or between the parts and a control centre:
a television network
a road/rail network
