WHAT's INSIDE?

New City Magazine - June 2010

Cover: Education that Bridges Diversity
 
 

James Cameron’s movie, Avatar, delighted us. Its 3D effects were breathtaking and its message, timely. It is a story of two worldviews in conflict: that of the people of Earth who need Pandora’s forest resources and that of the indigenous Na’vi whose lives depend on oneness with their environment. In such a conflict, it takes a person like Jake Sully to enter the Na’vi world and learn at their feet. The lesson of Avatar reflects such a conflict today even in the Philippines with its abundant biodiversity. An example is that of powerful mining companies which threaten the “lumads” (natives) in Mindanao and other ethnic groups elsewhere in their drive to exploit their natural resources. We need an educational system that teaches respect and appreciation for the values, the culture and the natural resources of our indigenous peoples to conserve our rich culture and preserve our ecosystem.

I am not so young but I always read your Direct Line section and I wish to share a thought that came to me a little bit stronger in these days: the pressing desire to work for the Church, to know Jesus. I said yes with apprehension and also joy even if I don’t know how to do it. It was a desire that I have been feeling for a long time but in these days it is pressing and becoming stronger.

I am 14 years old and I often read New City especially your Direct Line. I am writing to you because in these last days in my family, I am a bit in a particular situation. It could be because of my actual age and for my character that there is never a day that I don’t fight and quarrel with my parents. Many are telling me that it is the age of fighting with them and everything will just pass as I grow up, but I believe that under all these there is something else. What should I do to minimize these fights with them?
