We are all equal, and should all be treated in that way. No matter which country and what language you talk, we are all human. We all got different belief and persuasion, but just because the counterpart doesn’t mean the same as you, doesn’t mean that you is more worth than him. You don’t have to give the counterpart a feeling of inferiority. Out Union shall respect religious and linguistic diversity. Equality between women and men is a tough one, but in the European Union, they’re trying to make it work. There should be equality between women and men, no matter if it’s on work or in your home. 8
