One Day: Matisyahu by Morgan and Keishla



If we want to see social change in the world, we have to plant the seeds ourselves. We can wait and pray, but without taking initiative we will never reach this goal. We have to actively make the choice to take chances and try to change what we see as wrong in the world.
We are all held back by our insecurities and fears of failure, but without failure there can never be success. We all talk about wanting to make a difference, but if we don't take action ourselves, who will??

I think racism should be stopped by the law. It's just getting worse and worse.

This video is about how to make a change and is showing pictures in video from how things have changed from the past and into the present. We are still dealing with the situations today with the type of problems you see in this video, such as racism. After viewing this video you think about how things has changed from when you look back in the past and compare it to now. But there still are things we need to change even today.

"Be the change that you want to see in the world" -Ghandi

this song and ghandi's quote both say that some day we can all come together and not be against each other. help the one's in need and not be selfish. but to start the change you need to start with yourself.

STOP GUN VIOLENCE




Violence is a thing that every one need's to change. Like gun violence is so bad to touch a gun and pick it up is bad too you should not do it because you could kill some one with the gun so if you see a gun tell a mom or a dad so you wont kill some one. In to stop this gun violence people should stop selling gun a round the world

Racism in the Age of Obama

Is racism starting back up because we now have a black president? I think that it is because many people are posting bad comments on facebook and myspace about Obama and they are saying that he is a bad president and that McCain should have won the election and that people are planning to assassinate him. People also are saying that he is worst than George W. Bush but he really isn't because he has actually helped out our region and many states to save our planet Earth. Many schools are going green and saving a lot more energy than they would if they were not doing this. Also if we do this we will save Earth for a lot longer. I know this because our population is very low and the ecological footprint for every citizen is higher than a place with a huge population. So if you are against Obama, you should know all he is doing is trying to help and people have talked about getting a black president for a while and now that we have one they are spreading very bad rumors.

If kids can block the fact that they are all different and still be friends. Why do adults sometimes go through struggles with it? Thats racism : (
