The presentation by Lara to my fellow students and
me was really quite interesting. Lara told us about her work with the Peres
Center for Peace. This program gave us some insight about the advancement of
peace between two very different groups of people. The term “different”
represents why these two ‘factions’ are socially prejudice to one another.
In
Lara’s explanation she did not focus on how they are different but how they are
similar. She focused on the similarities between the two. In the grand scheme
of things it really seemed like the similarities outweighed the differences.
This Peres program looked like it was bringing about change in the people who
live so close together but who are separated by fallacies.
I really
enjoyed her presentation; the videos she showed us told me that this really was
making a difference. I applaud her and the people in this program for doing
such important work in such a quarrelsome environment. I hope the people of
this city and country can all realize we are the same on the inside. I would
love to have her present here again.
