Racial Harmony is a day where all races gather to celebrate friendship times and they to not fight to each other.The people around us will get dressed up in their traditional clothing such as the Cheongsam , Baju kurung and others.Students in school celebrate to learn more culture about other races or how they celebrate their own festive.Misunderstandings can be arise among the various races when they are not aware to others' culture.Like maybe the Chinese say bad stuff to the Indian.Saying vulgar words to one another.I think that only other races can make friends by talking to them when they see each other and there will be no more fights.We can talk about the Racial Harmony Day and also talk about the cultures on different races.Maybe if it is interesting they might learn more and we can be friends.I think that our school should put up pictures on the different races on how they wear and what they do during their festive season.Stores at the hall can be filled with food , henna art and clothes from the different races.
