Mark Twain

2 Comments » “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” —Mark Twain, 1857

I think this quote sums up the reason behind why people are prejudice. We fear what we do not know or understand. By traveling we meet people who are diferent than us and we experience culturess taht we never experienced outside our own little world.
