Central asia and Greg mortison

What i thought of the film in one word is sympathetic. It makes you realize how in todays american society we take everything for granted. we take education food shelter clean water and the clothes off our backs everything. We forget how fortunate we are to sustain our live styles the way we do. The people in central asia have no real fork of a balanced living. The education system over there is very poor and low budgeted.The people over there are hungry for an education, so much so that write notes in the dirt with sticks. Greg mortison is a hero in a small town over there for all the great things that he has done. He built schools so the people can have a hope for a brighter future and a better life.When you compare our society to theirs, you simply cant. These people dont own tv's or automoblies becausce the lack capital and there just so scarce over there. Instead there more like a huge family  working together to survive. They try focusing on educating the women primarily because they feel that the women our essenstial in there society that having them knowledgable will signify a since well being and prosperity within the people.

PEACE OF MIND

When i think of peace what comes to my mind is tranquility. I feel that the word itself is very soothing and we lack the meaning of it in our society as a whole. peace reminds me of the hippie movements in the 60's and 70's to stop Vietnam war so i think of symbols flowers and drugs. Peace is something our world will never have simply because not everyone on any topic. theirs always going to be disputes on a certain matter. Peace can even be considered fictional because it will never be achieved unless we were some perfect utopia of machines that have already been pre programmed. On the other hand, peace can also be something that we as human beings strife to feel, to work towards. So in a sense peace can be the key to a perfect life. In my mind peace is me sitting by the ocean watching the sun come up over the horizon, and I'm sitting there with my eyes closed focusing on the sounds of waves splashing against the shore, the smell of the air, the cool breeze brushing my against my body almost as if the breeze itself is brushing off all my imperfections all my problems, pains, sorrow, all my impurities. Its that moment that i like to picture peace at its finest.
