“Cultural/Historical Inventory”
This reading was really informative and yet realist to me. It is right that our culture and our past make us what and who we are today. When I was young I did not realize that where I live is part of my life. It is a certain true that we are influenced by our families but also by the people that surround us. It is said that the past is the key of the future. The history is very important because it teaches us the past and it keeps us from making the same mistakes we made in the past. I think without history the whole world would not be achieving all the success it achieving now.


Strategies.
All these poems were really sad and interesting. This whole war thing has not been welcomed in this world. Soldiers never like war. They are human beings and I believe that they feel something about killing or get killed.
Many young people join the army today just because they wanna make some money, others because it is said that by joining the army you will better serve your country. But it has turned out that joining the army is not all about making money or liking your country, now is about killing or get killed. We have lost a lot of our friends in Afghanistan, Kuwait, etc. Today most people like me are allergic to the word army but it doesn't have to be that way. In my opinion I think we should start voting for leaders who can solve their differences with other countries in a peaceful way. Even if I believe that those who fought in war war I had good reasons to fight, I guess if there were people who want peace, they would have achieved it. But back in time everyone wanted to show their belligerent potential, there was nobody to make the hostility stop so that they could avoid the death of thousands of thousands of people. It looks to me like today's leaders(some of them) are still living in the 20's or something and trying to fight for any little conflict, They are not making the difference. We should show that the world has grown up and we are not living in the 20's anymore.
