Hi readers...
Yes, we meet again in yet another episode of Teenager @ Work!!!
My topic for today is UNITY...
Let us see what does Unity exactly mean...
Well based on the famous online dictionary, Wikipedia,
Unity carries the meaning of 'unitas' oneness, sameness, agreement from unus 'one'. Unity is
defined as the state of being undivided or unbroken completeness or totality with nothing wanted in return.
Before I go into detail of Unity.. Let me share an event that I had personally witnessed...
The Black Eyed Peas performed a special live version of 'I Gotta Feeling' for Oprah Winfrey, while a flash mob of synchronized dancers grooved on Michigan Avenue downtown Chicago, IL USA. The performance was at Oprah's 24th Season Kickoff Party on September 8, 2009.
The part that I enjoyed the most was when all the dancers, approximately 20,000 people, turned back and put their hands on a complete stranger's back while dancing to the beat...
Well, the value that I can conclude from this behavior, is that the unity that they show to eachother, without looking at their etnic backgrounds... All of them seem trust eachother without complaining...
Now, let us all take a moment to think of such behaviour if it was practiced in our daily activities...
Do all of you personally think that this behaviour has encouraged all the havoc surrounding us?
A few months ago, my Sivic teacher, Puan Riza said that, she has given upreading the newspaper.. Well, as a curious student, I asked her the reason for such a move..
She said that, she can't stand to read the newspaper anymore.. there are hardly any good news to be heard... Most of them are all murders, rapings, snatch-thieves... People are losing their lifes very easily nowadays... this is what regrets me most...
How can I, live in peace without the thought that millons of people are losing lives everyday...
- An estimated number of 5.2 millon people are dying in South Africa alone are dying due to AIDS each year...
- Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger related causes - one child every five seconds.
How can we reduce all this high numbers if we don't unite now?
As we all know, the Malaysian government has introduced the concept of 1Malaysia and has also announced that 16th September of every year as 1Malaysia Day...
I think that this a good step to start a better world... Well, I don't intend to share my political views in my blog, so lets move on...
I wouldn't want my children and grandchildren living in a world that is too dangerous, to even be scared to walk out of our house.
My parents find it difficult to allow me to even play badminton right infront of my own house.. They don't even allow me to shop around with my group of friends at a nearby shopping mall without the thought of 'it could me the last time they see me' haunting them constantly...
I want a world that I can trust to keep us all safe from harm, for my future generations...
I urge all people from all walks of life, to stop destruction and give hope to the innocent victims of tragedy to continue their life without worry...
That's all I can say for this episode, signing off from Teenager @ Work!!!, I'm Gayathri, good night and have a wonderful evening...
and please feel free to post a comment...(all comments will be taken into consideration)
