Peace Throughout The World

The video we saw on the poverty that is happening in Central Asia was an eye opener. Many families struggle to make it through the week. There is very low education there so many of the kids become illiterate. They try to educate the kids with the basic abilities like math, reading, etc. They also teach the very briefly about STD's and condoms. The Central Asia Institute helps with these causes. They accept people by serving you three cups of tea. The first one is for getting to know one another, as if you were a stranger. The second cup is to become friends. Finally, the third cup is to become like a family. It takes quite a while to become a part of the family but the point is to treat each other like a family. Greg Mortenson is one of the main people making a difference in Central Asia. He is helping people and changing their lives. It is truly remarkable. It is very time consuming for him but he helps kids with education also. Education is the key to success. By Greg helping these children get a valuable education is a great thing.

Peace

When I think of peace, I think of happiness. People who are happy with where they are in life are more likely to be peaceful with one another. Also when i think of peace I think of getting along and being non-violent. this relates to the term "World Peace" which basically means a world with no hate, everyone getting along and becoming one nation. One last thing I think of when I hear peace is security. For people to be peaceful I believe they need to feel safe where they're at and also to have peace at mind. Peace is something that everyone wants to have.
