Building Peace

The building peace video really made me appreciate the fact that as a young woman, I am able to get an education. When people say that the United States people take things for granted at times, they are often right. The video inspires me to give school my all so that maybe one day I’ll be helping woman in other countries get their education and start getting into a career. This also applies with my job. All they allow women to do in some countries is sew. In the U.S. we can pretty much work wherever we want, but it is also linked to our education. They are probably not allowed to work anywhere because they don’t have an education. Everyone needs an education to get somewhere in the future. I believe in many places, the men don’t allow women to get an education because they fear their power will be taken from them by women. But what they don’t understand is that women are more likely to use their power to achieve peace. Knowledge is power and I believe everyone should have the right to earn their education like we do here in the U.S. I think that one day the world will come to peace when people begin to realize that we are all equal and there really is no reason to be fighting with one another. Most people fight for power, money, or because of jealousy without realizing that it will not get them anywhere in life.
