A Realistic Vision for World Peace (Marta Cardeñes)

A REALISTIC VISION FOR WORLD PEACE

This video is about recovering the meaning of peace. We have to define what makes us feel safe in this world. It is that countries stop providing arms, and use the money rationally to give more security to the world.

The state has to use the money to help animals or look for cures for diseases and not to modernize arms.

The woman explains the case of Aung Sun Suu Kyi, a woman who spent fifteen years in prison for defending democracy in his country. Now, she is back on the streets to defend their ideals. She doesn’t believe in the hope for change unless we do something.  She also shows the example of Shirin Ebadi, the first Muslim who received a Nobel Peace Prize. Another reference is Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, she was dedicated to planting trees.

Jody Williams's conclusion is that people need to get up and take action to recover the meaning of peace. If we care about changing the world, this would change.

There are many more women who want to change the world and if they work together, they will produce a change in their country.
