Building Peace

     There are different ways to build peace and how people understand the meaning of peace. The man from the short film "Building Peace" went to Pakistan for the first time, in the year 1993, and promise to build a school for the community  because they didn't have a school and they used to learn outside on the rocks. This "little" helping can do and change a lot in their community and thinking. The reason it can change their thinking towards the world is because they are not doing any violence, instead they are helping. This man was there for the organization "Central Asian" and also for his own interest. Years later he did come again and kept his promise and build that school, which really made them happy.
     Not doing any violence and not responding with any violence is a way they can see the world different and "with other eyes". That man also tried to talk to the people, what I think is a great idea (to communicate). I do think that helping is a way to make peace in the world.

An enemy is a person whose story we have not heard

     An enemy is a person that we hate and not like, but it is also someone, whose life and background we don't know. Most of the people have enemies. It can be political and even personal. For example someone that did you wrong or did something that hurt you, but maybe this enemy has his reasons why he is that mean or said something against you. Maybe the enemy has problems at home or just another opinion about things. An enemy can also be someone you are jealous of. For example your enemy always gets what you want, but you can see it wrong. If this happens at work and they always for example transfer "your enemy" to a higher spot you can get jealous and think he is your enemy even though he is just doing his work very good, maybe better than you.
     What I think is when people have a problem and you only know your side of the situation, it would be a good idea to know his side or opinion too. We have to try to talk to each other, so there will be no violence or hating in between.
