It's the fact that today there's a lot more exposure. You can upload anything to the internet and everyone can see it freely. In the 50's people couldn't share their views through a tweet, instead through a camera or broadcast that was (usually) rehearsed or more professional.

[@kitnoman]

As much as I'm enamored of these young people of their time with their brilliance, open mindedness(for some) and eloquence. Let us not blander on a hasty generalization, thinking that all students of their time are like them. They were not part of the average students, so we shouldn't compare them with today's students in general. As in the previous video, it was mentioned that they were selected and won at their respective countries(most likely debate or the like). Looking at the topics and, this is only me inferring, I think this program was done to promote the united nations. They needed it so that people would have a better understand and be more understanding with each other. And I believe that we sure need this type of program again and not just for teenagers or college students, but young adults as well. If anything, (no matter what the political intentions were), this video is teaching us that a world devoid of dialog and sharing of ideas cannot foster true peace. This shows that we can talk about our difference without being passive aggressive or simply not speak at all, in fear of hurting someone's feelings.

If more men would regard humans in terms of their personalities, and not gender or ethnicities, this world would be so much better for it. Today.

[@ObservantMantis]

​@@leybenson Hello there, if genitals matter so much to you I am biologically female. How about instead of trying to paint yourself as some psuedo feminist- how about you stop using WHOLE MOVEMENTS FIGHTING FOR EQUALITY as an excuse for your comment. If you are a sociology major or social psych major you would understand how dangerous generalizing certain behaviors to certain sexes. I am not sure what you do for a living but I believe from your attitude and blatant sexism that you are NOT either. If you are i am scared for out future. Its not MEN regarding people in terms of gender and ethnicity- it is the entirety of SOCIETY. Both women AND men FAIL to see people for their personality as a SOCIETY we place people in in-groups and our-groups. As a SOCIETY we protect our in-groups and despise the out groups. This is a HUMANITY issue not a MENS issue. There ARE issues that are MEN'S issues such as SEXUAL ASSAULT and PHYSICAL ABUSE but in the case of racism it is NOT men alone. We will NEVER view people for simply their personality because SOCIETY holds value in stereotypes and hates what it doesn't understand. ON TOP of this, while RACE is a social consutrct- cultures do vary and with it there are debates SUCH AS religion, cultural norms, gender based roles in society, holidays, proper conduct, and different ways of weighing crimes. With these CULTURAL DIFFERENCES we WONT view others simply in terms of individual personality. We are a product of our CULTURES and our histories. Just as you and I are. So TLDR, you are sexist (naively or not idk and dc) and you are giving off "super model wants to save the world vibes" when the world is so much more complex. Also, I am not going to even try and understand the "wasn't aware you were an editor and this was an academic course". Im sorry was I supposed to just write insults instead of answering you like a human being? What on earth. I would assume an actual explanation would be better + more educational/informative than that.

[@leybenson]

@@ObservantMantis It took a lot of typing to try and persuade a middle aged woman that she is a FEMINIST, and probably not a PSYCH major. I understand that you are younger, and thus tend to react before thinking, but there is absolutely no need for you to continue. As I wrote earlier in this post- my reply was mine, and as such, it does not require correcting by anyone. Toxic masculinity is not reserved to men (as is apparent from your reply), so how about you reflect on yourself before you come to educate others. Best of luck!

This clip reminded me so much of the friends from different countries I had made through different programs I had attended. The first memory that comes to my mind is when I represented Thailand twice in a Japanese Scholarships which one of that program I get to climb Mount Fuji and the other I had a Japanese host family until finally I had an opportunity to work for Walt Disney World in 2001 when I was 26. The statement that says the more you travel and see the world learning different people and cultures, the more perspectives you will get and it widens up our narrow minds is so true. IF only certain faculties, administrations, teachers and anyone who comes in contact with children in the school district in my area that serves about 70% military families would have an opportunity to watch this, this school would truly "embrace diversity and against discrimination" as they have in the student handbook but sadly doesn't practice. My 11 years as an on and off substitute teacher aide(was turned down 7 times from getting a full time positive because I'm an "outsider". I was born as half Thai half Philippine and became an official American in 2010 but lived in this area since 2005 and all my 3 special needs children attending this school so I would say it's fair enough to have a saying that I have seen it all and it's getting worst. I believe that time changes but values shouldn't. Many children had suffered is suffering and will continue to suffer because of those who are prejudice and ignorance. Trying to point out to the school that if children are being mistreated in any form of discrimination obviously their behavior will change but what many parents and myself get is that no body from the school wants to be accountable for these terrible incidents that are down right morally and legally wrong. And like anything in the world, the moment you blow the whistle or start speaking up on the truth, you get cut off like the school fired me when I addressed discrimination to the human resource of the district. It's easier to fire this Asian American than try to fix the problem. Education system failed because of how things are handled incorrectly and not in a timely manner. Not to mention the brainwashing that's going on inside the walls of this school. When the mental and emotional status is not balance, children can't strive. Certain children do bully but the scariest truth is that the adults are doing that on school property during school hours and many bystanders witnessed but chooses to put on blind eyes and deaf ears on. Oh wait, the education business is no longer about children anymore but it's all about doing anything to get as much children achieve good grades and/or bring fame of the school through some kind of sports so the school can get more fundings while just disregard children's mental and emotional well being. Before coronavirus, those mean, rude individuals are already bad and with coronavirus, they get even worst. I definitely will share this clip with my children. Forgive me for saying this but at this point of my life, I will borrow a quote from a wonderful close to 12 years neighbor who is a retired Veteran in the Navy that lost his eye sight last year from Panama, "I judge people accordingly" - Mr.Jim Garrett and as for me, "In God I trust, the rest wait in line."

I'm sorry you had to endure that. I have to agree that the ugliness you describe has worsened since the Rethuglikkkans let their party be hijacked decades ago. We must DEMAND that these FASCIST Trump Insurgents be IMPRISONED for life for the harm they want to cause.

The age of technology and media has probably diluted the unique perspective from different nationalities. Everyone with netflix around the world has watched squid game at the same time. Everyone with a facebook account has developed a mild form of dysfunction. We are slowly becoming a monolithic society.

Everyone in the comments wondering why no one behaves or talks like this anymore... well for one they didn’t have a screen to hide behind. They had to actually articulate their thoughts and feel their feelings and connect with other people face to face. Not just stuff everything to the back of their minds and let a screen distract them from feeling and thinking stuff through for themselves. They had real ideas and thoughts. And knew howww to talk about them. Oh and their attention span was more than 5 seconds. The phone and having instant gratification at all times takes away people’s ability to pay attention to something or someone. Obviously this is just one example (that could be explained better too) but it’s something I’ve gathered and realized.

The optimism which this engenders brings a tear to my eye when I think of these sensible young people proving that we are basically all the same yet the history of their countries since this was filmed has involved so many unnecessary wars and conflicts with each other and the U.S. They will all be a couple of years older than myself if not deceased but I hope the survivors retain the same balanced outlook shown here.
