It is not only the duty of parents to draw children's attention to this fact but it is also the responsibility of teachers. Living together is not an easy task for people therefore, we have to learn it and we have to teach it as well. Maybe the acceptance of otherness and the development of tolerance is the most difficult problem to solve.
