relating Sullivan heights to Rwanda
I am relating the subject of Rwanda to sullivan by the groups that are formed everyday in this community. In the school there are the normal groups you think of and not many conflicts here other then the one or two "fights" that happen... there are no fights here XD. the amount of so called fights here are people just threatening one another and pepper spray being pulled because people are chicken and wont fight but if they do there are like 10 other people at the scene that really don't need to be. And I will say those people are most like the belgians just making the situation worse then it needs to be. But this school is good with the groups all getting along to the best of their ability. but as i said the "fights" at sulli are mostly verbal and nothing more. not much is alike between the two but the teachers do act like the UN at times help splitting up conflicts that do pop up every once and awhile. But they are very much like the UN because they can only really help with the matters within the school and cant do much about the outside matters without consent of other outside people.

good job! thats so true
ReplyDeleteThat sounds exactly like sulli, there are no fights and every one just talks but cant do crap all.
ReplyDeleteI like the beginning connections you are making and how the teachers are limited in usefulness, like the UN. I wonder though, if you get past the idea of relating the physical violence to Rwanda, and think about the underlying causes of conflicts in general (like rumours, half truths, social groupings, dirty power) can you start to find more similarities?
ReplyDeletei agree good job
ReplyDeletethe connections made were really good! but why do you think people are too scared to use physical force when they disagree on something?
