.
This

essay will argue that
although

the
schools

have an extensive social interaction, values start at

, and
this

is more important. On the one hand, broad social interaction helps the student to accept differences. School gives

the opportunity to interact with peers and teachers from different backgrounds, which helps them accept diversity.
For example

This

cooperation, respect for others, and responsibility through exposure to peers from diverse backgrounds. Numerous studies in Japan have shown that these practices at school help

However

On the other hand

parents

about society and how to deal with it. A child is influenced by his family

For instance
