Where is the Love?

Today we discussed what has been happening in the world- in politics and in the news- and the idea of speaking up and speaking out for what we stand for. We discussed how positivity and love can be a form a resistance and how it's an option for all of us. Maybe we are not so different from each other. Students had a lot of thoughtful things to say in response to these two videos.






This music video with the Black-Eyed Peas featuring the World asks "Where is the Love?".
