Indian families this area wa EDITORIAL rasu niaj Each of us in the world is an individual. We all have our own ideas and per- sonal meanings to apply to things. Peace we cry in unison. Meaning what? To one, silence; to a clergyman, loving thy neighbour; to a peace demonstrator, no war. But what do we mean by war? Does it not stem largely from the intolerance of a nation, a political party, or a person towards another? Today when we hear and read of racial prejudice — a blind bias, unsupported by fact, of those supposed to be inferior — We are shocked, yet we are all biased to some extent and we fail to be aware of the hurt inflicted by this intoler- ance. Because certain standards are raised within groups of people, those who do not measure up are shunned. Even the well-educated can be guilty of intolerance. We cannot tolerate some, yet we continue to be amazed at the existence of prejudice. As time passes, we must make ourselves aware of the reasons for acting this way. Our viewpoints have been conditioned by family, school, city, province, race, nation — that is, our total environment. Day after day we are being affected by the opinions of other people. In talking amongst ourselves we spread our own biases and intolerance. As the youth of today and the adults of the future, it is our responsibility to become aware of our environment and to open our minds to further knowledge. Even though we may disagree, we must always be willing to listen to the opinions of others. This is communication and toleration at work. Idealistic as it may seem, it would bring us much closer to loving one another . Peace , we advocate; when will we begin to live it? or -fcj ' Wkatever happen that French gay, Chuck sometlUnd other? 1 rencf « ctt ' 3 k 3
