Pangea Day!

The point of Pangea Day relates to the ability to really start to understand what life is like in different parts of the world. Personally, I believe that the idea to start celebrating the day was very good. On Pangea Day people from all over the world basically have an online video conference through videos taken of everyday life. No matter who you are, or where you are from, you don't have to speak the language that the documentary is broad casted in, as most of the actual footage speaks for itself. Everyone understands emotions, and no one should say that someone can not feel something because they have differences in beliefs or lifestyles. Everyone feels love, dislike, desperation, happiness and sadness. Emotions are basically a universal language, and Pangea Day helps people to understand that.

Pangea Day is not NECESSARY, but it helps the world a lot. People should understand that everyone shares something in common and that all people have emotions. If Pangea Day were to become more popular, many more people would watch and contribute to the activities involved in the day. If EVERYONE in the world were able to watch the Pangea Day videos, I believe that a lot of misconceptions and prejudices would be cleared away and forgotten. Many people do not understand where their prejudices even come from, and fail to realize that everyone lives differently. Just because someone is different from other people, they should not be criticized or shunned. Pangea Day represents Global Alliance and friendship. Everyone should be able see the Pangea Day videos, and no one should turn down the opportunity. People that have prejudices against people that are different than themselves are shallow-minded, and something like Pangea Day should help everyone to see that no one is a horrible person just because they are different.
