Friendship is not only the differences or similarities between people but is also the key to loyalty and loyal people. In other words, friends are the family that we choose.
There are things that we do everyday and give to our friends and we rarely think about the profound impact of having them in our lives, but we will not go into this discussion, we will refer to something that has a deeper impact than that, which is to get friends from different cultures. Is it important to have friends from different cultures and social backgrounds?
Friendship is a relationship that contributes to the happiness and quality of a person’s life. This relationship is a mutual feeling that two or more people experience at the same time and is something that everyone must have in their lives, being, as it is, a relation that promotes the daily psychological health. Two people, or more, that help each other in bad situations and that support their lives, fighting together for each other’s benefit and that pass on their knowledge are people that want the best for their friends. Friendship is one of the most beautiful relationships that a person establishes with others, because it is considered one of the most important human relations that resonates in different areas of life.

Multiculturalism
The main purpose of having friends from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds is to promote the idea of multiculturalism within the individual.
Cultural pluralism means accepting and encouraging differences in lifestyle and religious engagement. Having friends with different cultures will allow us to have a look into their lives and we will learn about their habits and rituals, how they grew and developed and the things they believe in and that differ from our own. This teaches us to understand differences and similarities and we learn that our culture is as good as our friend’s.
