Three reasons Hurricane Katrina proved unpreparedness were; The New Orleans levee system was…

“We as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.” I agree that we should be accepting to people different than ourselves. At time it can be very hard to do this and sometimes we don't even realize what we are doing to the person's feelings. For the other person this can be very hard on them.
