CONCLUSION
Despite the growing changes of our world as it revolves around the
years, we people should always adopt to that change that our world
might give, because change is the only permanent thing in our
world. But we must always put in mind that whatever changes may
occur today or in the future we should always keep our morals to
our self, that always act or do good for the benefit of all and for the
betterment of the society despite our differences. We should
always connect with each other no matter who you are or what
race you belong, what belief and norms you carry, or even what
religion you have always act for the common good of all. A
beautiful world awaits on us if we face all the changes hand in
hand and no one will left behind.
