IncludeEveryone
Why is this important?
In About Us everyone has a voice and we listen to them all not just the ones that shout the loudest. Sometimes the greatest wisdom comes from those who speak the quietest or who do not often get to express their views.
Soemtimes there are opposing points of view and the About Us community wants to hear them all. Not because we are spoiling for a fight but because we live in a multifaceted world where there is no ultimate right or wrong, truth or lie. Seeing the world from any different angles gives a better picture of what the world is really like not which may not always be the way we would like to see it. We live in a very complex world but none of us live in isolation. Each of us is interlinked with one another regardless of the differences in our colours, creeds and cultures. When we begin to interact with one another and understand what links us as well as what separates us, only then will be begin to understand just how complex our world is?
