"The Suzanne Mubarak Women’s International Movement"

The amount of women all around the world that suffer from rape, abuse, and many other things is astounding. And the thing is most of the local governments don’t even do anything about the problem that these women are suffering in every home. Since in many of these countries many people don’t take action in stopping the violence we need to help them because they have no other chance. That’s why now there are new organizations that are devoted the well being of women across the world. Many of these women mainly live in third world countries across the world where mainly men are in charge and women don’t even have an education past the third grade. So just imagine if you are women in a poor rural community who cannot even read or write and all you do is obey the orders or your husband as you take care of the house and children. That’s why the “The Suzanne Mubarak Women’s International Movement” recognize that we as people of better well off being need to become proactive in the empowerment of women in third world countries. We as an organization go to third world countries to help communities prosper in various ways. Then first thing they attempt to do is start by building a safe secure society. And the way they attempt to do this is by stopping violence by in every form through the ability to empower women and their children to participate as primary influencers and active partners in the peace process. To achieve this process they work with civil society the government and many other areas at the lower levels in order to get everybody on the same page. In order to empower women the first thing that this organization attempts to do is first including women to have an equal part in the justice system. What this does is give women an active role in an important part of the justice system. The issues that this helps resolve are equality issue human trafficking and many more. But in order to become part of the justice system needs to have an education. That’s where the Institute for Peace studies arrives. This is hosted at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. What this part of our organization does is educate and train people from many places on a wide range of subjects. These subjects include human rights, international law and many more that included in order helping people reach full education on many of the issues going on. One of the tools to help them teach these points is the use of the worldwide internet. What they do is teach the practical and useful ways to use the internet. But one of the main things they also teach is internet safety because there are many dangers in the internet for women and children and what the program does is help prevent them running into these problems. But one of the pluses is the ability for them to encounter and interact other people from different countries with different cultures.

Man and school video

I believe what that man did in for those girls was incredible because many girls around the world are not able to achieve an education and if they did then there would be not that many 3rd world countries. So what would happen if every child across the did get an education? I don't know because I believe that the possibilities are endless when ever that happens. And I hope that one day it will.

Commitment

My Commitment is really simple. Its to carry myself with a higher standard everywhere I go. Because I believe that if you set the standard people will try to be on your level or higher. In little things like picking up trash on the floor or helping the elderly put there groceries in the vehicles. If everyone else were to do this then the world will become a better place on person at a time.

Voting and Peace

I believe that most people in Society are not politically informed because simply they just think that it is a issue that is boring and not that important. Especially since a lot of these networks are mainly based with their own genre of Ideas that you can hear over and over again. I know I get bored most of the time I attempt to watch a television network that mostly talks about Ideas that are from the same group of people mostly. Now what most of the people are missing from their lives is the ability to go out on their own figure out what they care about and what they want to vote for. Whether it is that that they believe in the ability for the Government to tax the people more or whether they believe that they should increase spending in education. The demand for votes is always up but the common folk like you and me never figure out what we want. So if you don’t know about what you want t vote for, why would you vote. And if you did then what were you really voting for. Now I can tell you how this happens. In my family was a large family that is Hispanic. My step-mom is from Mexico and my dad is born from a dad who is also from there. The only people that vote in my family that are eligible to vote are only me my brother and my dad who went to college and is well educated. The rest of my family along with uncles and cousins are not registered to vote or they just don’t vote period. Now the way I belief this happens is because I believe that education and family background has a big part in this. With my grandfather being form Mexico he really doesn’t care about the government and he really doesn’t read the news paper and even read and speak the English language. Now the case with the rest of the family is that they really don’t care just like my grandfather and they non-purposely instill the same thing into my cousins also. And then you could add that when you look at the big picture about three forth’s of them dropped out of college and the rest just have their high school degree so they didn’t really have the chance to learn about things from classes like political science which teaches them about how country works or how people get elected and what’s the difference between conservative and liberal thinking. So I believe that the family background and education do have a big reason for a lot of the people out there not voting in elections around the country and the world. Now the way I think this will affect peace around the world does that with many people not know the difference between Ideas and morals of many of these candidatures is that they will vote for whoever has the ability to wow them or appeal to their senses more. To me it’s just like a advertising campaign for a food company like a McDonalds or a Hershey’s company. They will try to make people vote for them by promising them something outrageous or just because he’s a certain race. Another problem that resides it that people that vote and know why their voting for them can be for reasons that are negative for the country like with Sudan Hussein. I believe he won a election and then the history of Iraq is changed forever as we know it. So when people don’t vote they don’t know what the consequences are. Because I believe that if everybody that was eligible to vote, were educated and knew what they were voting for. Every single election in history may have been different in result because they had the ability to vote and used there working mind in doing so. So when I look at people that don’t vote o people that vote and vote for people for the wrong reasons I think to myself. Why does that person even live in this country? Because I believe that is the person’s right and duty to vote in every election that they can because I believe that with the inability for voter turnout many people around the country and the world are the wrong people elected. And if we have the wrong people elected then we have the things happening and if the wrong things are happening then there is no peace and tranquility.

Why will this never end?

With the Law of supply and demand, the wars in Juarez will never end. Some people say that "This will end eventually because every thing else does" but this won't. Because the only way this to stop supply is to stop demand. So when drugs in America are no longer in demand the need for demand will stop. So when these large drug cartels actually make upwards in to the Billions they will always have the resources to acquire weapons and man power to fuel their surge to get to the top of the food chain. But the thing is that there is no one man at the top of the food chain in Mexico there's multiple big men and families that have the ability to acquire men and weapons. But after saying that I just thought about it and i also think that another way for this conflict to end is have one drug lord take over the whole entire area because if there aren't any others you could have less violence than what we have right now. but of course since we are also in the war against drugs we will eventually weaken that one subject and there will be others waiting to take over. So I guess this is just the start of a long cycle that will go on forever and ever.

                "An enemy is a person whose story we have not heard."(Gene Knudson Hoffman)There for we are there enemy because they don’t know anything about us. So if we had known anything about they may have not been our enemy’s in the beginning or we may just hate them even more. But things like racism, murder, and war are created we are ignorant. With the ability to hear what other people have to say we would at least defeat the most purposes of those evil actions. But if we don’t fight the fear of the unknown this will be an issue that will never become a resolved.  But the back fire to this is if we knew the things that many other people. But sometimes we do know the story about our enemies. A good example is rivalry games in sports. They are our enemies on the field. But is peace available in most of these situations without conducting harm? Yes, peace is available in these situations.
            The only way for a person or people to have peace, is to find it. How can peace be found? Peace can be found in many different ways but the number one thing that we have to use is effort. Effort is the force that is the engine of peace. Effort is what starts and keeps the peace. So if you don’t have effort. Then you don’t have peace. Peace is available out there but it comes in a 2pack with effort.
