End the Korean War

On December 3, 2009, I attended a conference given by the North American Network for Peace in Korea, which discussed ending the Korean War between America and North Korea. The conference began with the discussion that there’s a need for political leadership from the United States. The panelist explained the purpose of Korea’s launch of Galaxy II’s reflected Korea’s achievements in science and rebuilding of their economy. The Obama administration opposed the launch; and the panelist argued that without political activism, the Korean War would never end. Next a former US Korean War veteran spoke lamenting over, the US government never compensated for their illnesses caused by the Korean War. Currently, the US veteran involved with a group of veterans, who come together in the interest of peace, and wanting to end most wars.  Before this conference, I didn't know anything about Korean Culture. It was interesting to see from the Korean’s perspective on the tensions between American and North Korea. This workshop shows how important it is to incorporate different views on a topic into your lessons.  I never knew the North Korean’s opinion on nuclear weapons. I found the conference helpful in better understanding differing world affairs.
