After watching "Years of Living Dangerously" in science class and at home, I began to truly understand the Syrian Revolution. When Syria was in a drought, all of the crops began to fail. This caused many people to be very hungry. As a result, the Syrian farmers and other Syrians turned to the government for help. Syria's government didn't help them, told them to go away, and as a result the citizens rebelled. Many were so hungry that they smuggled food on a regular basis. The government didn't like this, (which personally is a little hypocritical of them, since they put themselves in this predicament). Now the whole country is at war.
This was an upsetting moment of comprehension. Its one of those moments where you feel like your protective little bubble world just popped. It's really sad, thinking how humans beings are evil and sinful enough to sit in gold palaces while fellow beings starve. (The "gold palace" part was a slight exaggeration, but that is basically what is happening in Syria.) It is so depressing. Why can't humans live in peace?
Overall, the episode of "Years if Living Dangerously" was a highly educational video that helped me understand more about the world's current state and climate change.
