00:00:14,466 --> 00:00:16,336
Good afternoon, everybody.

2
00:00:16,364 --> 00:00:17,514
My name is Mariana.

3
00:00:17,583 --> 00:00:21,767
Today I'm going to talk to you about
respecting differences between people.

4
00:00:22,267 --> 00:00:26,087
Because it makes me
terribly angry and terribly sad

5
00:00:26,223 --> 00:00:30,302
that some people think
they're less important than others

6
00:00:30,302 --> 00:00:32,752
just because they're different.

7
00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:36,620
Some people have different
problems and differences.

8
00:00:36,631 --> 00:00:40,541
However, they deserve
to be treated the same.

9
00:00:41,045 --> 00:00:42,845
We need to help them.

10
00:00:43,072 --> 00:00:44,872
We need to give them a hand.

11
00:00:45,332 --> 00:00:49,250
A very good way to help
is just by respecting them.

12
00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:52,420
For example, I wouldn't laugh at them.

13
00:00:52,551 --> 00:00:54,821
I would laugh with them.

14
00:00:55,307 --> 00:00:57,287
Stand up for yourself.

15
00:00:57,663 --> 00:00:59,573
And if you're brave enough,

16
00:00:59,979 --> 00:01:01,699
stand up for others.

17
00:01:02,552 --> 00:01:07,062
Also, I bet we all have abilities, right?

18
00:01:07,124 --> 00:01:11,174
Well, that's the first thing
you need to recognize:

19
00:01:11,188 --> 00:01:15,491
recognize your abilities,
and then work on your weaknesses.

20
00:01:16,198 --> 00:01:20,838
I understand we all might feel
very scared or very shy

21
00:01:20,841 --> 00:01:23,461
to tell a super footballer friend

22
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,550
you're any good at playing football.

23
00:01:25,561 --> 00:01:27,851
But I would tell you something.

24
00:01:28,241 --> 00:01:29,791
Don't keep it secret.

25
00:01:29,809 --> 00:01:31,039
Stop comparing,

26
00:01:31,045 --> 00:01:32,635
compliment instead.

27
00:01:33,095 --> 00:01:35,915
Remember, we're all different.

28
00:01:41,479 --> 00:01:45,779
Furthermore, we also need
to understand their background.

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,610
How many of you have been vaccinated
when you were smaller?

30
00:01:50,055 --> 00:01:51,835
I could guess all of you.

31
00:01:52,334 --> 00:01:55,612
I could also guess
you've got a lot of pain.

32
00:01:55,631 --> 00:01:58,591
Just like I understand your background,

33
00:01:58,941 --> 00:02:01,761
you need to understand others' background.

34
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,600
We need to understand their culture.

35
00:02:04,627 --> 00:02:07,337
For example, Indians don't eat beef.

36
00:02:07,776 --> 00:02:10,146
Another example, their emotions.

37
00:02:10,249 --> 00:02:12,459
Well, if you're nervous or shy,

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,190
you might sweat
or something similar, right?

39
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:20,116
In addition, others might have
a medical situation.

40
00:02:20,663 --> 00:02:23,793
Have you watched "Wonder,"
the movie about Auggie?

41
00:02:24,352 --> 00:02:28,842
Well, he was actually born
with the problem on his face.

42
00:02:29,268 --> 00:02:34,388
We could also have a problem
of just having one arm or one leg

43
00:02:34,388 --> 00:02:36,318
or no arms or no legs

44
00:02:36,318 --> 00:02:37,708
or only one ear.

45
00:02:38,687 --> 00:02:43,463
However, we need to treat others
the way we would like to be treated.

46
00:02:44,712 --> 00:02:45,872
To conclude,

47
00:02:46,014 --> 00:02:47,454
as I said before,

48
00:02:47,482 --> 00:02:51,366
some people have different problems,
abilities and weaknesses

49
00:02:51,366 --> 00:02:53,776
that we need to understand and respect.

50
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:57,049
But why do we need to respect others?

51
00:02:57,623 --> 00:02:58,843
In my opinion,

52
00:02:58,843 --> 00:03:00,457
we need to respect others

53
00:03:00,492 --> 00:03:03,563
because at the end,
we all have the same value.

54
00:03:03,563 --> 00:03:05,673
Thank you for listening to my speech.

55
00:03:05,692 --> 00:03:08,377
(Applause) (Cheers)

56
00:03:10,347 --> 00:03:11,347
Thank you.
