Well, After reading a recent article it's really opened my eyes on something as simple as perception. Now i'm not hear to preach or be sometime of world peace activist. I'm simply here to share something i've found interesting and bring something so simple to other peoples attention.
Well, first let me tell you abit of what i'm talking about. Which is amongs the guidelines of torture. After reading this article http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/02/25/080225fa_fact_kramer?currentPage=1. This article contains information about torture at i believe to be at one of it's finest measure. This is "Water cure" started back as the eigthteen hundreds. In this method of torture there would be a mental and physical agony. In which it would have the same feal as drowning/ sufercation. For people who may not know about this it could be futher explained here http://www.spanamwar.com/philippinetorture.htm. Anyways there was a couple of really interesting quotes that perplexed my train of though. One being "As the investigation of the water cure ended and the memory of faraway torture faded, Americans answered it with their silence." For people who may have not read the full article this quote is referencing to how the american public reacted to this inhumane actions of their own soldiers at the time. This got me thinking and researching in which i came across a interesting article speaking about how humans process things.(which sadly i cant find again
). Now sit back and think about this, how many things like this happen(inhumane,condescending behaviors.) around you or even on a bigger scale in your nation/country or the world. Now, how do people allow this to happen becuase in my eyes we are all humans, we all have families, we all have needs. But after reading article it explains one reason this does occour. Which is all people dont think like me and dont think of natraul human rights or even similarities being as vague all being humans, people(which is truely sad.). The other percent of the populations just get so caught up in life they dont take a second to step back and realize what's going on or what they say becuase that all takes a big role even things as little as making a joke. This has been a recurring reoccouring cycle for ages, looking at peoples difference rather then similairities. Anyways i wanted to educate people and hopefully they will bring it to the attention of there freinds becuase this needs to stop somewhere and hopefully we can start with this generations.
Thanks for all that did read. Feal free to leave feedback and please only constructive criticism. I will be making some changes i just wrote this off the top of my mind on sythe so sorry if the grammar may be bad or this passage is hard for people to understand.
