My global peace channel

My Global Peace class studies multiple aspects of solving the world's problems. We've studied the words of Gandhi and other great peace leaders and take those words and compare them to violent and peaceful situations and see what is what.  In this action project we had to fast our own protest. That includes the advertising, planning, leading, etc. People need a person to light the fire beneath them and show them to stand up and fight for justice and equality. My project was to use technology to spread awareness and light that fire so people can stand up and fight. I think that maybe if it's coming from a person who is going to be the next generation of leaders that maybe people may pay attention knowing that a lot of problems now lay on our shoulders. I am creating a video channel and will post videos on different problems. They will include facts and what the current situation is and how we can change a issue into a solution. In gandhi's words this would be seredova because I will be spreading information to rise everyone else.

I am addressing Capitalism. Capitalism is structural violence because when the corporate owners take from us, it can physically hurt us. Us as in the people who rely on the corporates to give us medicine and food because they make it. So why should we rely on them so much while they have turned their backs on us all the time.

I think my main goal is to create munity by lighting the fire benight people and showing them how to rise up and fight. This may be against what most leaders are against but I think at this point we are so far past peaceful because nothing is getting better. Its making our voice be heard and show our feelings.

The fight between most workers and CEO’s are the same. The CEO gets paid tod much, and the workers who are the heart of the company get paid next to nothing. The workers just want fair pay and maybe some health benefits and to just be treated like humans

In a iceberg model, I put the main problem of capitalism,but thats such a huge word so I broke it down to poverty. The underlying problems included greed, freedom to do whatever, exemption from most laws, throws off cycle of money so easily, “The American Dream”. Those are just ones that popped into my head, but there's so many more reasons.


The workers would be at Awareness because the workers know what’s going on and demand equality.  The CEO’s are between Dehumanization and restriction because I think the CEO’s think that the workers are not as smart as them or thinks less of them for whatever reason.


One group I can think that would be closer to how I think would be the Anonymous group of hackers. I think that their goal towards taking down the smoke and mirrors by government. I think the same way but not only with the government but also with the corporates. The only problem with this is that Anonymous is not a offical group with a hierarchy so it’s really unclear what they do or do not stand for. Although some of the veteran hackers of anonymous say that they do not support terror or animal abuse. Their was a huge case in Steuben, Ohio where two football student drugged and raped a woman. Then these boys went to boast about it on twitter and took pictures. When the police got involved the boys deleted everything and hide all evidence. So when the police tried to prosecute the boys said it never happened and the girl was making it up. That's when veteran Anonymous member Deric Lostutter took charge and hacked into the boys cell phone and twitter to uncover all the files. In the end the boys were prosecuted, but in the process the FBI found Deric and raided his house. He faces more jail time than the two boys.
