Child Soldier- The 4 C's

Connections- The main connection between the video and the article were Child Soldiers. Ishmael Beah was running from one village to another, looking for his family members or relatives. The connection between these both pieces of work would be cruelty and the minds way of maturing.  Whatever the eyes see, the mind captures forever and uses it again in the future. Just how Ishmael saw many kids pick up guns, he decided he could go it as well. People learn from what the eyes see, and weather it’s good or bad, it would always stay in the mind.

Challenges: Growing up with all the problems around is a hard thing; living up to the expectations of people is also hard. If a person’s family were to be hard on a child at birth, and childhood, they would grow up isolated and locked up inside in the world. The challenges with child soldier and teaching children how to kill would be the aspect they are being thought. Picking up a gun and shooting someone dead at the spot, is not a good thing. Video games or real life, any sort of Violence should be unaccepted, and considered dangerous. If a video about two guys fighting could do viral, the argument about video games being too dangerous should as well.

Concepts: How a child is, depends on the lifestyle they have adapted, the people they hang out with, the amount of society conscious are they. Picking up a gun and having the courage to do that is something no child should be learning before the age of 18, courage should be used in the right way. Can’t get up on stage and talk, use the courage, won’t go right on an interview use the courage. We don't need to misuse courage and the knowledge given to us; we could use it the right way and be able to change some things in the world.

Changes: Taking care of children is not only hard but giving them the right knowledge and aspect of the world is difficult when there are so many things out here telling them it’s better to be wrong. We should be aware of what is happening around us to the children of this world. Not only children of your families, but children all around the world. We could do so many things to change the way the world is right now. The way there are more bad things than good is something that would affect the kids and even teenagers.
