Global Awareness Exercise: Amal

The speech that really meant a lot to me was the Humanitarianism (1999). It is really a moving speech, because of the have been many obstacle standing on their way and yet they have always found a way through it. The MSF movement started with mere doctors and today they are many volunteers. and today there are many involved such as volunteers, investors and sponsors. "We are not sure that words can always save lives, but we know that silence can certainly kill". They don't get involved in situations to make peace or to end the war. They simply do this to ensure that the civilians of that particular country are safe and sound.  They are there to deliver assistance to where needed. They believe that people are entitled to medicine regardless of gender,race , religion, belief, or political connection. People in the third world countries today die from diseases due to lack of money, the expenses of treatment cost too much for them to afford.

The country that i am most concerned about is Palestine. The ongoing struggle with the Israeli and Pakistan conflict has affected a lot of people. The conflict dates back to the Mid 20th century. They have failed to reach an agreement that would benefit both countries. Palestine lost to Israel and today their people are suffering and living in refugee camps. Israel is expanding throughout the Palestine territory. They continue to build businesses and buildings and as a result of expanding their country. It affects us because we get oil form the middle east and as a result of that it could lead in to a turmoil. The United states sided with the Israelis because Palestine has a biblical city inside of it. It affects us all because if this war could end the treaties with the middle east countries. We should care because people are suffering due to this conflict. What we should do is give the Palestinian people a portion of the country since it once belonged to them.

  1. The situation going on in palestine is really sad. I think that so many judgements are made about people stem from their religion. I hope that they can work towards letting people back to their homeland eventually not based on their religion.

  4. I am aware of what's going on in Palestine and I agree it is a serious issue that needs to be handled, as lives are continuing to be lost. It is a sad scenario as many innocent people are losing their lives due to something they have no control over.
