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.

    I totally agree with you, here in the U.S. we take absolutely everything for granted and don't think about what it's like not to go to school, and what not. We are very fortunate to live in the country we do, and to receive the help and benefits we do. It's pretty sad that these people do not get the education they deserve, but Greg is doing good things. (:

    This post is very well said and i totally agree no one truly appreciates what they have till they don't have it. It is a privilege to have great designer clothes on, eat a decent meal everyday or even have a roof over your head. it is sad to know that people abuse their privileges and people who have it "made" don't take the time to give back like Greg. What he has done is amazing and inspiring.

    Many people dont realize what they have until they loose it, including me. It is good that you included such opinion in your blogs.
