Ex-37 Violence in Today’s World

(Kar) We are luckily living in Hong Kong. It is one of the safest places in the world. Although there intermingle with different people from different nations, they are to live together in peace. There is less racial discrimination since Hong Kong people want peace and respect others.

For example: there were 20 Hong Kong tourists and a tour guide who were hijacked by a gunman, the Philippine National Police who had been dismissed, in Manila, Philippines, on Aug 23, 2010. Yet the Manila Police District SWAT team was so stupid to manage the hostage crisis. Unfortunately, eventually eight hostages were shot dead, four were slightly injured and three were seriously. We felt very sad to learn the news on TV and quite angry with the Manila Police. Even some local employers fried their Filipino helpers to show that how they were wrathful to the Philippine Government. However, the survivor, Lee Ying- Chuen of the Manila bloodbath said we should not angry with Filipinos living and working in Hong Kong since they were also victims of an “incapable government”. On the other hand, other survivors, Mrs. Leung and Mrs. Fu, thanked to Hong Kong citizens’ care and encouraged them living as same as before and should not sad for the past. See! They are very brave, wise, and be tolerance for others. I am proud of them and should learn from them.

Nevertheless, nowadays we still see the war or civil war in other countries such as Lebanon, Iraq and Thailand and so on. People living those places are less safe and suffer from the consequences of corrupt systems of their Governments. The innocent civilians often face hardship that there is less food for them and water is also not clean enough for drink. In the meantime, some Chinese colonies in those countries worry that their properties will be robbed.

If peoples of all nations had wanted peace, the World War One or civil war would not have happened. Also, there would be less violence in today’s world.
