The one thing that surprised me in this class is how open everybody was to expressing their opinion. Many times people are not willing to put themselves out there. Class discussions there just consist of the teacher asking a question and the dead silence answering back. But people in this class were willing to share their opinions which were refreshing. I liked hear what different people thought even if i didn't agree with it. The presentation that really surprised me was the presentation of health care and actually the numbers involved. I knew that are health care system wasn't working but it hits you harder when you actually see the figures.
The different types of negative peace made me think. There are so many. You can find negative peace almost anywhere. It is such a big thing and many times people just think of it as part of the society we live. They don't consider what is actually happening to the people that the negative peace is impacting.
I think that peace is an almost impossible thing to accomplish. In order to get peace we are going to have to eliminate everything that makes us different. If that is every done then there is no point in living. The great thing about being human is that we are so different with different opinions and experiences. It would be like painting with only one color. Sure you could paint a picture but the picture will not have its own personality. You would have a hard time telling one picture from another. I would rather have people be unique than have an ultimate everlasting peace. My hope is that eventually everybody will get along despite their difference.
