More than 7 billion people call our planet home. There are thousands of different languages and many different religions. In a world so full of people and ideas, how do we all get along?

Friends and neighbours have customs that tell them how to behave. Customs are the “manner” of a country or group of people.

Families and schools have rules about how people should treat one another. The rules spell out what is fair at all.

Countries have laws that tell people what they can and cannot do. Laws show us how to treat other people and our planet with respect.

How should you treat someone from another country? Follow the laws and the rules where you are and respect the local customs. When everyone works together, people get along.
