@@ObservantMantis Wasn't aware that you were an editor, and this was an academic writing course. I was actually sympathizing, not awaiting multiple mansplainers, demanding "proper" comments from the likes of me. 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!

The ability to think deeply and articulate so well ... Norway ...at the very end seemed to sum up what America was (at least was once for just white folks).

Special mention to Krishna (India) for such nuanced self wear reflections on the differences and potentials therein. Big thanks to Tetteh Kofi (Ghana) for his thoughtful articulations. There are other series of this programme where the Ghanian students are leagues ahead of everyone else in self awareness and articulation and one debate where a 16 year old Nigerian really trounced his fellow panel members with insightful facts and clear reasoning.

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.

This is so history when those countries like Malaya, Ceylon and Yugoslavia still exist.

[@Babbaboeyy]

Malaya still exist it's just called Malaysia now

[@sushibento8968]

Malaya originally consisted of only Peninsular Malaysia. After 1963, with the merger of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and Northern Borneo (Sabah), Malaya changed its name into Malaysia. However, with internal issues, Singapore split from Malaysia and established its own independence in 1965.

A whole lot of hasty generalizations in the comment section... While I don't know the context, it's probably safe to assume these are the smartest and brightest kids from their respective countries, and perhaps from at least upper-middle class families? Hence this group of "kids" are *_not_* representative of the entire teenage population in 1958.

[@mareksicinski3726]

no, they are not 'the smartes and brightest' and 'upper-middle class' is meaningless except in a few societies Obviously pople don't represent others
