Interact! Life Magazine - 10 Most Famous Photos

Philippoz Eric ; Switzerland ; ricky64@caramail.com

I was very happy when I saw this photo, because I think it really describes the attitude that we must have with the others.In this photo, we can see black and white people TOGETHER, and I can think there's a lot of emotion. I think that when some people have a common grief, they can understand them without word, only with a look ... or with a song. MUSIC can reach the people, it's a universal language, and with the music, we can tell all the message that we want. In this photo, this black man give this emotion to the others, and I think we must always try to do that.

Well, I'm sorry because I can't say all what I want, because it's only the second year that I study English at school. :o)

Thank you for this great site,

Bye,

Eric

Myung Joon Lee, Level 200, Korea says: There are so many poor people in the whole world. I know that, but this slide convinced me of this fact again by using numerical value. I am reflecting to myself. Though I am happy man, I always complained about my life. If we look around our environment there are things to appreciate much more than things to complain about.

Takashi Fukushima, Level 200, Japan says: Well, I have a lot of thoughts about these things. I can write a book if I tell you all of my thoughts. Then I will tell you my feeling briefly.

When I first read it. I was aware that I was narrow-minded. Before that, I was feeling that I was doing everything hard, but I understood it was with a plentiful life. People live on the the earth, but every person is not equal. Some people have never, ever smile in their lives, some people have never, ever eaten healthy food in their lives. some people have never, ever slept while feeling well.

Do you remember your birth? Maybe not. None of the newborn babies can decide a place and a time. It means that we happened to be born where we were. We are really lucky. We can do anything easily with much support as we are. However, I would ask you if your luck should be used for only yourself or not. I hope that you already know your responsibility.

I am going to make my web-site soon to write all of my opinion.

Anyway, have an exciting week!

I became to know I am really happy and there are a lot of poor people in the world. I didn't know so many people live in poverty, and many people can not be educated. I was impressed with the words, " just 7% have a higher education, and if you have bank account, you are part of the wealthiest people." I will live thinking about that I am really happy and I am living in very good circumstance. I will always live thankful for everything.

This film shows the real status of society in the world using direct statistics, real pictures and music. The most surprising and meaningful thing for me is there are one billion people who cannot read words at all. Our fixed idea in our mind brought by our wealthy lives is that everyone in the world has the same resources. However, the real status of the world is that there are still poor people, and they don't have enough education, politics, and food. This is a good time to think and look at the world around us. For some of us, everything is available in our lives, and we can get as much as we can. Furthermore, we can have enough education and some control over our political system. However, is this the real world situation? Isn't this just an image created only in our minds? If poor people, who cannot have enough education, political power, and resources still exist, we all cannot say the world is rich, safe, and comfortable enough. I believe only when the time comes that everyone can say they are happy is the real time when the world will be at peace.

When I first looked at this film, I was aware I'm happy guy because I have eaten a lot of fresh food and have educated under the good condition. This film looks like teaching me how am I happy and how am I lucky guy. There were so many poor people around the world than I have ever though. This fact make me to look at myself and beside me.

1) Where were you and what were you doing when you first heard of the September 11 attack?
I was studying in the classroom in my university when i first heard of the September 11 attack. I was very surprised at the news.

2) What would you suggest to make the world safer from terrorism? Do you think this will happen in the next decade (10 years)? Why or why not?
To make the world safer from terrorism, people should be educated about peace and harmony. We learn competition from school. The world is getting more tense for each other's interests. There are poor countries and rich countries in the world like wise there are poor families and rich families in a country. Equality and chance is limited for those who are poor. humanity was lost. People are only conscious when they are hurted by others and they are not conscious and forget easily what they hurt. When people grow insensible to terrorism and violence, these kinds of attack will happen in the future.

Being poor,my family nor familes within my vicinity have up-to-the-minute news reports like the americans do.We get our news via second-hand news maybe even third-hand through a very kind lady from Ecuador.So the first time I heard of the tragic incident was during the lunchbreak on the 2nd of October.Was I shocked?Oh no I wasn't.Why you might ask.Simple,americans are simply too self-absorbed with their own little world that less than 50% of the american population can identify their own country on a map.All they care is about themselves.Where I am going with this,I'm not sure myself.I'm starting to suffer from rage that is stemming from 'big brother' america. Spasms!Horrid!

How are we ever safe from terrorism?George Bush is using terrorism to fight terrorism because the americans have to help the rest of the world.GOD!

The first fime that I heard of the September 11 attack was when I was driving to my office, all the newsradio started to talk about the situation in the Twin Towers. At that time I feel very bad because of the people, their families and really very upset with the human being that make this happen. When I came to my work everyone were watchnig the TV in the Auditorium, at that time all of us were impressed for the images.

We have to make three main things:

First, we have to change our actitude towards human's custom.
Second, we have to start to respect each other
Third, we have to take off power to people that only want to have their benefit.

On the other hand, I think that we never going to be safe from terrorism because the reality is that the human being is always looking for power and power and more power.
