Semester 2 - Post 16

I read a post by Mr. Karl Fisch titled "Imagine." In this post Mr. Fisch talks about the idea of Pangea Day, which will take place on May 10th. This day is a day when countries around the world sing the national anthem of another country in their language, in an effort to sort of "unite" the world. This is what I said to Mr. Fisch:

Mr. Fisch,
Wow this post is great. Reading about what you said in this post was really interesting to think about. I found the idea of Pangea Day very interesting. It would be great to have a day where people could look beyond the outer layers of people from other countries and see what they go through and what their customs are. Being able to come together as a unit and as a world would be very cool to me. It would allow us to sort of get the feeling of "how the other half live" in a way. To be able to use film is such an inventive way to allow our world to come together is a very moving thing. I feel like this is a strong thing to focus on in our world today, we need to stop focusing on the bad and, in turn, take a step back and realize that we all have problems, but we can all help each other. Great post!
