Seeds of Peace memo

The website Seeds of Peace is a guide to what the program consists of, it’s purposes, founders, events and it also allows people to give in different ways to the program. It was originated by a man named John Wallach. The website is very effective because it has many pictures and information regarding the program. It shows how many people are participating and is inspiring many other people to join the cause. Seeds of Peace focuses on spreading peace throughout the world and encouraging young adults to do so. It makes for strong leaders and well rounded people when they participate in the program. They have been doing so for 18 years now.

Seeds of Peace have already helped many young adults around the world and the numbers are rapidly increasing. The website tells that this program has reached teenagers in places such as Egypt and Israel since 1993. They have since then expanded over to Cyrus, South Asia and Balkans. Most recently, according to the site, are in South Asia and the Middle East.  The Seeds of Peace headquarters is located in New York City but have many other offices throughout the world in order to reach many adolescents everywhere that are interested in spreading peace. Some of the most recent events that have helped in the world are the Afghanistan chapter of Seeds. They commenced an oral project there that is bringing rebirth, in a sense, to the country. The project is focusing on bringing up and recognizing the history of the country and its people. Seeds of Peace is currently working on peace in Israel as well. Over 200 people in Israel had gathered to hear about what the supporters of Seeds had to offer. They are currently helping people all over the world.

They help by having meetings and are funded by generous philanthropists. They have groups of teenagers who work in this profit organization who gather and form to spread peace throughout the world.

Global Education

I honestly really didn’t understand the film that much, but from what I did get they feel the society will not change without education. So, by giving the younger community an opportunity to learn it enables them to do more when they are older. The one guy; who’s name I’ve already forgotten, is a good man starting a program that does the opposition of what tradition says cannot be done. He has chosen to teach education no matter your gender, age, etc.  I think that is a very good thing as well, I mean eventually somebody has to go beyond the norm to offer a helping hand for what is right and that is exactly what he has done. He is giving the society a chance to grow and build strong not physically but mentally.

Peaceful State of Mind

     There are no issues in the world when I think of the word peace. I feel as if everyone gets along with everyone. Peace is when crime stops and people truly embark and enjoy the place God has blessed us with. It is a hard task for some, but deep inside I think everyone has a hope for peace. I see children enjoying the winds and the sun, I see adults greeting one another on a day to day basis, but when they do greet it isn’t a fake greeting on the outside while on the inside they think rude thoughts, it is actually love and serenity. I think racism goes away in the world and discrimination doesn’t exist anymore. To get a true sense of peace, I think people are giving second chances and aren’t criticized and punished for mistakes they have made in their past.

     I think of the word colorblind but not just color in general, I mean differences and variety. No one person is different from one another because of color. We all realize that just because one had a family member that was once a slave doesn’t mean that he still is one. It shows that just because one committed a crime that he doesn’t want to change his life around and provide for his family. Just because one chose a lifestyle of drugs and alcohol it doesn’t mean that he hasn’t chosen to give it up to have a healthier lifestyle. Just because one may have been known as a person who gives it up too easy, or a guy who does too much with too many girls, he or she can give up that lifestyle to find happiness in one person. Peace also means that just because one chooses to love the same sex other than the opposite, it does not mean that he or she is any different from one who chooses to be heterosexual. Just because one feels he doesn’t know God, it does not mean that they can be shown that God is up there and is waiting to be found by him or her, and that could possibly bring peace to that person as well. Differences will not be seen by appearance and judgment and will not be a determination in how another person lives their life. Everyone will live life for the future and live life for the one who gave us the opportunity to live, God himself.
