Camp Darfur

As I saw Josh Levy's 'Camp Darfur' segment, it really brought another light into my thinking. Honestly, when I first saw these clips in class, I really thought this whole 2nd Life thing was a joke and a waste of time. I still somewhat feel the same about it; however, I was humbled on how much the people cared for this cause to spend so much time and effort into making those things happen because I am here doing nothing and just judging them (like IN KENZO) for doing such things.

I do not know if I will now join activist groups to help this cause, persay, but it definitely was very informational where I learned a whole lot even if it was through the eyes & interpretations of Josh Levy. So I cannot say that it will induce physical change & action right away. However, it can totally bring about a emotional & spiritual movement to keep the victims, like in Darfur, in our prayers, which could definitely cajole into radical change in the long-run.

I believe for activist groups to be affective, they must be done in the virtual world where everyone can see and hear, first hand, on what is being said. One example, which I want mention that I do not follow, is the Gay Community. They protested their beliefs out in the open for everyone to hear. They held on to what they believed and as a result, the view of homosexuality has become less negative to the general public. It was because of their zeal and belief of having their voice heard that coming up to this point was even possible. The homosexual view is not something I agree with; However, I do have tremendous respect and love for them, for we are all brothers and sisters from one Creator to love one another as we love Him.
