"Everybody likes to stay within their comfort zone. Allowing others into our personal bubble is just not an option. We pick our friends and we stick with those friends, nobody else, because that is what we are comfortable doing. I believe the best solution to avoid people from being excluded or hurt, is to allow ourselves to be open to new friendships."
Ruby expels the ambiguity of the human mind. She analyzes the natural behavior that we process through by interactions with those around us. Typically, welcoming a stranger into our life is something that can easily be overrule; simply because it is not what we are use to. Therefore, it is indefinitely easier to deny a persons' presence in result, cutting off any correlation that might occur.
Furthermore, the creation of the ASTI Constitution defines the value of a mutual relationship. After a seemingly endless period of cynicism and wariness, the C/O 2013 rendezvous into the Math classroom to plan and assemble regulations.
This social code, brings me back to Ruby's point: it is never easy to include others until we "allow ourselves to be open to new friendships." Her quote relates to the ASTI Constitution by stating our flaws for being amenable. In addtion, broadening our horizon with our peers will serve as a wakening; a call to arms against exclusion.
