Reactions to an incomprehensible war.
A teacher’s view: It’s been almost a month from the day the Ukrainian war started. I asked my students to write a few things about the war and the feelings they had. These are a few statements:
I can’t understand it. Seems incomprehensible.
A war in the 21st century, in Europe? How can it be possible?
People should invest in piece, not make war.
Many more thoughts like these arise in every lesson.. but one thing was never thought: that war has never stopped. Where? Western Africa countries, Yemen, Syria -less than a semester ago- Ethiopia, the list can be changing every day.
Economic wars, territorial, religion, civil, nationalism, political revolution. You name it, we make it.
Food for thought..
