Building Peace Greag Mortenson 'Video'

It's hard to imagine how the world is different from one place to another, not all the cultures are the same. Sometimes we don't even think that there's people suffering for a lot of different things we just think for ourselves. In this world exist good things but also the bad things too. There's gentle people that help others, but other people are just cruel with each other. When I was watching this video it really open my eyes because it shows you that life is not that easy as we thought.

Greag Mortenson show us in this video that to bring peace and hope education is really important. It also tell us that educating a girl to at least fifth grade it does 3 important things. Education is the key to success in life and can make progress. As I was watching this video I can tell that the kids were happy by being at school and just by looking at their eyes we can see their joyful. The Central Asia Institute help Pakistan with so many different ways just so the people can continue their education. After seen this video what came to my mine was without education you wouldn't be something in life, that's why finish school is really important.

''An enemy is a person whose story we have not heard'' By: Quaker Peace Activist Gene Knudson Hoffman

 
            I don't think that an enemy is a person whose story we have not heard. What I mean with that is that in order to have an enemy they need to know us so that they can have hate for us. You need to know how that person is with others or even with you. In order to have enemies for my opinion is to have odious to that person for something bad they did like talking against you. That's a mistake a lot of people make that before knowing a person they criticize just by the way they look. That's one point when I consider a person to be my enemy because without knowing them I wouldn't be able to have rancour. 


          You can even meet someone and just by the way they treat you, you can tell if they are a good influence for you. Without knowing how they are or even their past it's really hard to say that they could be an enemy. That's why I'm a person that all the time wants to meet new people and I'm friendly with others because I don't want to have enemies. What can I say about this code is that I'm not agree with it because in order to have enemies there's need to be a reason for that and it just can't happen without knowing the person.
