Top Ten Peace Culture List

When filling out the information between violence and peace I found that it was much easier to fill out the violence side more than i could the peace side because i filled more out on the violence side than on the peace side. There was a big difference, for some questions on peace I couldn't even think of any, while on the violence questions I could fill out basically all of them, and i was really surprised at how much I didn't know about peace while I knew a lot more about violence. I know that our society today sends messages to our youth through TV, video games, moves, etc, i know this because I have seen them and watched some of them but i don't think i do violent this but know that i think about some thing i do can be violent, but not in a really bad way. These messages cause violent influences on people to to do things even though they don't even know what are doing it because we've seen it around us and so we think it is ok and we all want to be "cool".These messages of violence influence our every day lives, from watching a fight in school or even playing guns between friends, but not all the time will turn out just to be just fun. have you ever so some violence but didn't even think it was violence so you didn't even really care?Now we could stop all the wars between people and countries but I don't think that would mean their will be peace between them because there will still be resentment and feelings of bitterness and therefore they will have just stopped fighting, but not at peace.

me, myself, and I

Hi, my name is Steph Gould, I'm taking peace and youth culture 12 because I am curious about what this course is about and I'm hoping it will bring me more knowledge about what is happening in our world today.
I am currently in grade eleven at Salmo Seconday school and I am undecided about what I want to do in my future, I do know that I want to attend college or university, just trying to figure out the right path I want to take. I enjoy playing basketball, volleyball, baseball and snowboarding. I live just out of Salmo with my parents and my little sister, we have two dogs named buddy and jake and one cat named kit-kat, and as a family we love to spend our time outdoors.
I am looking forward to what will happen in this course.
