religion, tradtions, different oppinions about f.e. politician, some people have more money than the others.

IMAGINE PEACE
1. FANNI; 15 yrs, Szent László Highschool

1. Imagine, what can bring more peace to our world?
If people understood that there are lots of different habits, religions and cultures. It would help a lot.
2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?
In my opinion the main obstacle is that people are very foolish. They always make themselves angry about different religions and different “kinds” of people…I mean there are a lot of racist people. =(

3. Imagine, what have you done so far to promote peace in your own country?
Hm… I’ve just shared my anti-racist ideas with people I talked about this topic and once I took part in this peace mark organization.
4. Imagine, what can you do in the future to promote peace in your own country?
It isn’t an easy question. Maybe I would organize musical festivals, and before the concerts there would be other things in connection with peace. I talk to my friends about this topic, and we will find out a much better idea. =)

2.ISTVÁN; 15 yrs, Szent László High School

1. Imagine, what can bring more peace to our world?
If we could understand other people opinion or religion there would be a less lot war. Maybe a pack beetween the countries. And we have to make the people understand racism won’t solve any problem, it’s just make it stronger.

2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?
I think the human mentality and the money. We don’t like if somebody have a different opinion about something, or don’t belive the same god with us. The other thing is money. And war can make money.

3. Imagine, what have you done so far to promote peace in your own country?
Me and my friends are try to fight against racism all the time. In our country there isn’t classical, only mental war, so we could fight easier against racism, if we’d want, but it’s cool nowadays if somebody racist

4. Imagine, what can you do in the future to promote peace in your own country?
We could teach our childreen to understand other cultures, nations is really important to reach the peace.

2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?
I think the global warming, starvation the wars and the religion conflict are the main problems but the AIDS oil – ‘cause there are lot of wars because the oil - and the overpopulation is important too.
3. Imagine, what have you done so far to promote peace in your own country?
I have been doing little things against the global warming. For example I turn off the lamps if it ‘s on unnecessary, and I try to use eco-friendly products. And I have been writing about the problem and peace in my blog and I try to share my opinions with other people. It can be good because maybe I can make a group with people who are thinking about the peace in a same way… And together we can do more things for the peace.
4. Imagine, what can you do in the future to promote peace in your own country?
We should try to make diplomatic relations between some countries that don’t understand each other, for example between Iraq and America. And we must to solve the politics problems without wars. The wars kill lot of people and it is so expensive. Instead of give more money to the starving people…

wouldnot die so much people because of hunger.

essume the power of other people ..

do anything in their life..
