of the world lies in the diversity that
sorry the beauty of the world lies in
the diversity of its people
this quote is one that has moved and
touched me due to its message
and uniqueness think about this for a
minute
are we all the same no right we're all
pretty different
we may have some things in common with
friends
family relatives maybe with our parents
but we're not exactly the same as them
because we're all different think about
this for a minute
i'm sorry now i want you to please
think and ask yourself how would the
world be if we were all the same
it would be pretty boring yes but apart
from that it wouldn't be as beautiful as
what it is nowadays
because we and our diversity are the
ones that make this place unique
we give an identity to the world and as
well as its beauty
one of the main things that stands out
of dip one of the main differences that
stands out in us humans
is the color of our skin which is
defined by genetics
unfortunately along history barriers
have been made
due to these mistaken beliefs that
anyone
with a darker skin color or a different
one is inferior to us
but that's not the case the color of our
skin should not
affect who we are and our capacities
one of the possible reasons why this
discrimination against people with
different colors
started was because because back in
colonialism
white men who came from countries such
as france and europe
were the ones who colonized
areas and colonies in continents like
africa where people
had darker skin colors another possible
reason
one possible reason for this change in
color is your geographical location
for example if you're close to a tropic
it's expected
that you have a darker skin color this
happened because
back when we were starting to adapt to
our homes
to the areas we were born in
in some occasions we were really exposed
to sunlight
so we had to develop a skin color which
was a darker one
that would protect us from this sunlight
now
i'd like to please ask you all to look
around you
in this room and see all the different
skin colors we have
or if you want you can also help me by
raising an arm
in the air and see all the colors we
have
okay they're all pretty different so
i can't even imagine how many colors we
have in this planet
now another thing that stands out in us
humans is our nationality and sometimes
we may be
discriminated or rejected because of the
nation
or continent we come from now we're all
a huge
team and we should not we live in this
planet we call it our homes
and we should not be fighting over where
you come from
it's something irrational and
i believe that it's nonsense to
discriminate
about your nationality if we all come
from the same
place earth just from different parts
now on some occasions we use stereotypes
when describing a person from another
country some stereotypes have been made
about this country as well as from
for latin latin people so
think about this for a minute maybe
you've used a stereotype along your life
but would you like to be stereotyped
and if you have stereotyped do you
believe
that do you really really believe that
everyone in that country is just the way
you're saying like that's stereotype if
we say that
all the people in a certain country are
happy
do we really believe that everyone in
that country is happy
no right now just as my mom says
life is full of choices and i believe
that it's
really wrong to make choices about
making someone feel inferior to others
just because of your nationality or skin
color or race
another another thing that stands out in
us humans
is our gender
gender is not to be you know
classified there are certain stereotypes
that suggest that
for example in colors blue is for men
and
pink is for women but who says that
where is that written in
is there a law about it is it illegal
that a man uses
i don't know a pink shirt or is it
illegal that a woman
has her room blue for example
another another stereotype is related to
the activities one makes
for example when talking about cooking
usually people say that cooking is for
women but that's not the case
i've cooked and i'm a boy and my father
cooks and he's a man
so there's no problem or also when
i don't know playing sports sometimes
people say
playing sports is just for men but
actually that's not the case
playing sports is for anyone who likes
to play sports and a woman can play
sports however she wants
whichever she wants
sorry now talking about gender and
sports at the same time i want you all
to know this character which has been of
real importance to me her name is megan
rapino
she's one of the us players who won
the fifa 2019 world cup in
france what i like about her is that
she's fighting for her rights as a woman
and as an lgbtq plus woman
so i like her determination
she's always fighting for her rights as
a woman
one of the one of her points of interest
is the fact
that when she won the fifa world cup
she got paid less than what men were
actually paid back in 29
2018 and she wants this to be
fair men and women to be paid the exact
same
quant amount now labels are for baggage
and not
for people please take a moment to think
about this quote
which is pro lgbtq plus
because in this world since it's 7.7
billion of us
living in this planet we have also
sexually diverse people
sometimes we tend to discriminate these
people why
maybe it's because we have misunderstood
them or maybe we have the wrong
information about them
we may think that sexuality is an
illness
if you're not heterosexual you're ill or
maybe it's because
people believe it's a choice actually
it's neither of them
the fact is that sexuality is defined by
genetics it's biology so
basically it's natural
sorry and finally as i men
as i mentioned previously we're all a
huge team living in this planet
and i believe that we should all work
together to be more diverse
to be open to differences because
sometimes we are
not and it's not wrong because here in
this country we are not as exposed as we
could be
but take a minute and think we're all
family
we all live in the same place and
just as we love our friends our family
members and everyone else
i believe it's right to love all those
in the world despite their differences
thank you
