'Battle Stories Bring Former Enemies Together' Response

After reading this article, I think that it is really cool how even though at first the tw groups struggled to get along, they discussed their experiences and were able to become together. In today's society with the current war, many foriegners are sterotyped by their skin color and their background. For many, it is not fair because they have no say in their country's decisions. Instead of automatically sterotyping them, they dicussed their experiences and realized they do have a lot in common and would be able to get along. I think that creating the Combatants for Peace group was a special way to allow people of different ethnic backgounds to meet and share their stories with one another. This can also relate to school-aged students because they are faced with many different cliques in their schools. Some girls may not be pretty enough or thin enough to fit in with one group just based on their appearances. It is important to remind students that you cannot judge a person by their skin, because you aren't allowing yourself to get to know them and who knows, they might even turn out to be your best friend.
