"Travel teaches toleration"
"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."
"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries."
"All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it."
"When overseas you learn more about your own country, than you do the place you're visiting."
"The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends."
The following is a PowerPoint slides show to talk about stereotypes in a simple and funny way with our students.
