Progress on MDG response..

How does this make me feel?
When I read this it made me feel quite sad, and how people would kill to take my place in life. I also felt a awkward way, that people need quite a few things, but they can't have them. I am very lucky to be in my position now, if you compare me to the poor, I have A LOT more then them..

How are they making the changes?
The UNICEF are making changes, because now we are around 30% of less deaths at the age of 5 then in 1990, so around 10,000 less deaths around the world. The UNICEF are giving shots to the poor, they are vaxinating, and they are also trying their hardest to help those in the warzone, especially those in africa.

What further progress do I think needs to happen to continue this trend?
I think that the UNICEF should try as hard as they can to get into africa and help those that are in need. I also think that if they cannot get into africa they should maybe drop off medicine and maybe some money for the hospital and a better place to live in instead of a shack.

What really stuck out for me?
The thing that really stuck out for me would be that the goverment put more money on themselves then those in need! I really think that the money should go to thoose that really need it, rather then themselves. I am not trying to be baist, but it is true, the government would probably need it to reaserch the cure for cancer and everything, but they dont need ALL that money.

What was confusing to me?
There wasnt anything that was really confusing, I only do have one question, why is Africa so poor? They have the richest natural rescources in the world.

Make an overall statement about our progress to meet the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
I hope that UNICEF make all their Millennium Development Gooals by 2015, because I just dislike it A LOT when people are in need and people cant help them.

Playing for Change response

What is the message?
I think the message is peace, and we all want it. I do know that almost everyone wants peace. This message also kind of shows that people care about the world. The video shows us that we can show peace with music.

What is my reaction to this?
My reaction to this is that its not only me, but its quite a few million people that also people think music is a good way to show peace.

How do I think this will make a difference?
I think it already has. But it really will make a difference if many people listen to it, and are touched by it.

Why is this important?
I'm pretty sure that it is important because people around the world want peace, and music is probably the BEST way to get people into peace, because to me, music is another language and most people love music.

Peace Day #2

Can we live without peace?
Well.. I'm pretty sure we cant live without peace because if there was wars all the time we would all pretty much be dead. I also think that if there was peace then no one would get hurt or killed, murdered or anything bad, but then again, when I kind of think about it if we didn't have war's we would probably be cavemen with really bad things to eat and everything, because war kind of did put us under pressure, therefore we developed to have better things.

What is the link between peace and a country's development?
Like I have just said in question number 1. If we always had peace, then we would not have developed if there was no war, and if we have never had war then we would be like cavemen, then again we may have developed but slowly because we wouldn't be under pressure, and it would take awhile.
