As they go through life, all people may need to interact with those from backgrounds that they may be unfamiliar with. Because unfamiliarity can lead to intolerance and conflict, it's important to learn about the experiences and challenges faced by those of other races, cultural groups, sexual identities, ages, classes, and physical abilities. Modeled on social justice principles, this guide emphasizes social and emotional concepts that help readers approach life with a spirit of acceptance and understanding. Open up this volume to learn more about some of the issues and questions we all face in today's society.
