hey Mr. B!It's Kyla from sixth period.I really enjoyed this video.I thought his beliefs on the subject of global citizenship were great.I also thought that he presented everything with a lot of creativity.I would have never thought, if it weren't for doing this assignment last year, that having a video taken in an airport could actually impact the video.It really represented the diversity in our world well.I also really like hearing about him talk about some family traditions.I loved this video!

Hola Senor B! Its Ernesto. I agree with him 100% on just about everything he said. When he said be my brother or ill bash your skull in made me think.......are people so mean that they have to threaten each other to make friends? I like this guy's philosophy. you care about people and citizens but not to a level of any extremity. I think its kinda sad too that you see more people in an airport in one day than uncles or grandparents see you in your entire life.

Hello Mr. B. This is Carmen, and first I want to say that I am Mormon, and so, I view some things differently. This man stated some things that I am totally onboard with, like him saying that we should interact with everyone, not just a group of people. I am taught to love you neighbor as yourself, and so the phrase, "I would love for you to be my brother, but I will bash your head in if you don't follow me on my terms," is interesting. I believe that our first instinct is to say that, and.....

Hi Mr.B Its Jackie Wolfe.. I though that the man was professor was very i am not sure how to put this so i will say smart. i really liked the part where he was tlking about how eople always want people to be like tem. I find that very true with the most people in America. What he is saying is what i think should be what eveyone thinks. Common Sense i guess. I really enjoyed this video. I really like ll of what he said.

Thanks Carla Cassidi for attracting my attention on this video. How can one not agree with the way he says things... It seems common sense.

"Do not to the other what you don't want to be done to you..."

Who are we to make moral judgements

The only way is honest dialogue and a process onf understanding, without prejudice...
