[VVP/Teen] Tuesday's Workshop
On Tuesday we voted once again on the topic we would like to choose for our final project. The two topics were global warming and child soldiers. We compare and contrast the two topics and discussed on how they are important, we asked questions like how would each reach out to the public?, how they could be shown in second life?, we brainstormed on the pro's and con's. 
We finally voted again and the majority voted for child soldiers. I am very excited about this topic. I think there could be a greater chance to get people interested in this topic and actually take action. I think it’s also a very good topic for teenagers since as a teenager myself sometimes I am not thankful for what I have, such as a home, clean clothing to wear everyday, a school, and most importantly my family. 
As we watched a documentary in machinima about child soldiers, its images were sad, but it also gave you a wake up call to the things as I said before, we sometimes don’t realize what we have. Most of us by looking at movies that show poverty, mistreatment, and violence, gives us feelings of sadness, but when it comes to the real question WOULD YOU GET INVOLVED IN THIS TOPIC? And WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET OTHERS interested? Well right now we might be unsure due to the fact that we know so little about this topic...DONT WORRY...WE ARE VERY EXCITED to start our research in this topic and begin to START OUR FINAL PROJECT! Mostly because we want to reach the public to become interested in this topic and take ACTION!!
