Ke aʻo ʻana i ke kaua, no laila

Ua hoʻopau wale nā ​​haumāna i kahi ʻāpana aʻo ʻekolu pule e kia ana i nā nīnau pono ʻelua: He aha ke kaua kūpono? Pehea mākou e hoʻopau ai i ke kaua? ʻO kā lāua kumu a me kaʻu i hana pū ai i ka ʻāpana ʻelua hoihoi i ka nānā ʻana i ka loiloi a me ke kūpaʻa ʻana i ke kaua e hoʻoikaika ai i ka manaʻo o nā haumāna, kōkua iā lākou e hoʻomōhala i kahi kuanaʻike koʻikoʻi o ke kaua a kōkua i nā haumāna e hoʻomaopopo i ke kaua hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia e ka hana a me nā kamaʻāina paʻa. I ka hopena o kēia anakahi, ʻaʻole maopopo loa nā haumāna.

“Kāhāhā mau wau i ke aʻo ʻana o nā kula ma ʻAmelika. ʻO wau paha he mau kaua a puni mākou a hana like nā kumu ma aneʻi ʻaʻohe a laila ʻaʻole aʻo pololei i nā kaua a lākou e aʻo ai. ” ʻAe nā haumāna ʻē aʻe i ke kūkā kamaʻilio. "ʻAe, e like me ke aʻo ʻana he maikaʻi ʻole ke kaua ... akā ua ʻike mākou i kēlā ... ʻaʻole mākou e aʻo hohonu. Makemake wau ʻike wau i ka 1939 a me Eisenhower a me nā mea āpau ...

"I ko mākou aʻo ʻana i ka Bom Atomic e hoʻokau ʻia ana ma Iāpana, loaʻa iā mākou kahi seminar lā he ʻelua mau lā e nānā ana i nā palapala akā ʻaʻole ia he mea ʻokoʻa loa i ka mea i loko o kā mākou puke puke.

ʻO nā kī ʻana ma Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School a me ka hoʻouluulu ʻana i hala i hala. Ua komo kekahi mau haumāna ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Stephens kahi aʻu e alakaʻi nei i ke aʻo ʻana a me ke aʻo pū ʻana i ka hui i komo i kahi haumāna i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i waho a ua komo kekahi helu liʻiliʻi i ka hanana holo wāwae he 17 mau minuke kahi e heluhelu ai nā haumāna i nā inoa o 17 mau mea i hōʻeha ʻia i ka Stoneman Douglas e kī kī ʻana i ka hāmau. E like me ka hapa nui o nā kula, ua hoʻohanohano ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Stephens i ka hele wāwae ʻana he 17 mau minuke e ʻae ana i nā haumāna e koho e komo, nā kumu inā he wā kaʻawale ia a i hele paha kā lākou papa holoʻokoʻa. Makaʻu i ka hana ʻino, ua hele aku nā haumāna o Stephens i ka hanana me kahi palekana palekana loa. Ua huikau nā manaʻo o nā haumāna. "ʻO ʻoe ke kumu o ka ʻaha?" ua pane mai kahi haumāna ke nīnau wau iā ia inā ua hele ʻo ia. "ʻO ke kumu o kāu hana kaiaulu i koi ʻia?" 'ōlelo hou kekahi. ʻO nā manaʻo o nā haumāna ma nā hana kaiaulu ʻelua (hoʻonohonoho ka haumāna a hoʻonohonoho ʻia ke kula) nui mai nā hanana e pono ai e disorganised (ka hanana haumāna) e hoʻoikaika (ka hanana kula).

Ua manaʻo wau ʻo ka activism i hōʻike ʻia e Emma Gonzalez, David Hogg, a me nā haumāna ʻē aʻe i puka aʻe mai ka pana ʻana iā Douglas e hōʻike ana i nā haumāna Stephens i ke ala. ʻOiai ʻo ke kī ʻana a me ka activism pāʻani nui i ka pāpāho no nā mahina ma hope a ʻoiai mākou e aʻo nei me ke kūlana activist, ʻaʻohe haumāna i hoʻopili i nā mea a mākou i aʻo aku ai i ka poʻe activist Stoneman a hiki i koʻu hāpai ʻana iā lākou i ke kūkā kamaʻilio. Nui nā kumu aʻu i kamaʻilio pū ai a puni ka mokuʻāina ʻo North Carolina i hōʻike i nā pane a nā haumāna i hoʻohoka ʻia. Hoʻokahi kumu, kahi mea i komo i kahi noi nui aʻe aʻu e alakaʻi nei i ke aʻo ʻana o ke kaua i aʻo ʻia i kahi hui pōkole e pili ana i ka hoʻolohe kīwila, kūʻē a me ka hoʻouluulu i nā lā ma mua o ka Stoneman Douglas 17 minuke. Ke lana nei ka manaʻo e hele i ka rally ʻo ia iho (hiki iā ia ke hele inā hele aku kāna mau haumāna āpau) he pīhoihoi ke koho wale ʻekolu o kāna mau haumāna e "hele i waho" no ka ʻāpono kula. I kona nīnau ʻana no ke aha i hele ʻole ai nā haumāna ua hoʻokipa ʻia ʻo ia me ka mea maʻamau, "17 mau minuke wale nō ia," ʻo ka mea koʻikoʻi, "ʻAʻole ia e hana i kekahi mea," i ka mea i hāʻawi pinepine ʻia, "ʻAʻole wau makemake e haʻalele i ka haʻi ʻōlelo… he aha ke kumuhana… ʻo ka hoʻolohe pono kīwila? " ʻO ka kū ʻana o ka makaʻāinana o ka haumāna i ka hana kūʻē i ka hana kipi ʻaʻole he mea i hana ʻia e hoʻonāukiuki ai i kēia mau haumāna aʻu i manaʻo ai i kēlā manawa. ʻO ka mea aʻu i wehewehe ai i ke kūpaʻa a me ka hōʻowahāwahā ʻole i nā haumāna Stoneman-Douglas he manaʻo nui loa ia o ka hugeness o ka pilikia (o ka hoʻopau ʻana i ke kaua) a me ka manaʻo ʻole kahi e hoʻomaka ai. No ka mea i loko o kā mākou ʻāpana aʻo e pili ana i ka poʻe i kū ʻole i ke kaua i ka mōʻaukala, ua hoʻolauna ʻia nā haumāna i ka poʻe, nā neʻe, a me nā akeakamai akā ʻaʻole ka mea a nā ʻanuʻu kikoʻī e kūʻē maoli ai, i kumu maoli ai ka loli.

Hoʻomaka ka ʻaoʻao aʻo ma ka nīnau ʻana i nā haumāna "He aha ke kaua kūpono?" Ua wehewehe mākou iā ia, e noi ana i nā haumāna e wehewehe i ka mea a lākou e makemake ai e hele i ke kaua no lākou iho, kā lākou mau hoaaloha a me ko lākou ʻohana. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē, ʻaʻole ia he mea ʻē aʻe, na lākou ia e hakakā, ke hakakā, ka ʻeha a me ka make. Ua loaʻa i nā haumāna nā pane anuu e holo ana i ka pae i manaʻo ʻia e kū mai ana nā haumāna o ke kula kiʻekiʻe. Pākuʻi ʻia nā pane a nā haumāna: “inā e hoʻouka kaua ʻia mākou,” “inā no ko mākou lāhui pono,” “inā hoʻouka kaua ʻia kahi hoa pili ... a he kuʻikahi pū kā mākou me lākou,” i “inā like me kahi hui i pepehi ʻia ua ʻike ʻoe e like me ka Holocaust, "I" ʻaʻohe kaua kūpono. " Ua kamaʻilio a pīhoihoi nā haumāna i kā lākou kūlana a me nā manaʻo, e hōʻike maikaʻi ana iā lākou. Maikaʻi lākou i kā lākou lawe ʻana a hiki i nā haumāna ke hoʻohana i kekahi ʻoiaʻiʻo e like me ke laʻana kākoʻo, akā ʻo kekahi wale nō. Ua hoʻohana nā haumāna i nā hanana mōʻaukala ma ke ʻano he pono ʻole i nā mea kani hiki ʻole ke kikoʻī a i ʻole hele i waho o "Ua hoʻouka kaua ʻo Iapana iā mākou!" a i ʻole ʻo "The Holocaust." Me he mea lā ua ʻimi nā haumāna i ka hapanui o ke Kaua Honua II no kā lākou hiʻohiʻona mōʻaukala i hōʻoia i ke kaua, a me nā haumāna i kū kūʻē i ke kaua a i ʻole e hōʻino ana iā ia. ʻO ke Kaua Honua II ka mea i hāʻawi ʻia e kahi haumāna, ʻo "ke kaua maikaʻi."

Ua hoʻomau ka hui e nānā pehea i hoʻomaka ai kēlā me kēia kaua a ʻAmelika e hoʻomaka ai mai ka American Revolution ma o nā kaua ma Iraq a me Afghanistan. Ua pīhoihoi nā haumāna i nā kumu i hōʻike. "ʻO wau paha e hele mai ... ua ʻike lākou i hea ka palena i ka wā i hoʻouna ai lākou iā Taylor ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka muliwai" wahi a kahi haumāna. "ʻO ka Adimarala Stockwell maoli i ka mokulele ma luna o ke awāwa o Tonkin ʻaʻole manaʻo he moku ʻAmelika i hoʻouka kaua ʻia?" wahi a kahi haumāna i nīnau aku ai me ke ʻano ʻū. ʻAʻole i alakaʻi nā ʻike i ka loli i ka noʻonoʻo. "ʻAe, he poʻe ʻAmelika mākou e nānā nei i ka mea a mākou i hana ai me ka ʻāina (lawe ʻia mai Mekiko)" a "he komunista ʻo Vietnam ʻaʻole pono mākou e hoʻouka kaua ʻia me lākou." Ua nānā mākou i ke Kaua Honua II a me ke Kaua Vietnam ma ke ʻano he noiʻi hihia e hoʻohālikelike ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā kaua, pehea ke kaua ʻana a me ke kūʻē ʻana iā lākou. Ua ʻike nui nā haumāna i ka neʻe kaua anti-kaua i Vietnam, "e like me nā hippies a me nā mea pono?" akā pīhoihoi i ke kūʻē ʻana i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua II. Ua kahaha nui loa lākou i ka ʻike ʻana he moʻolelo lōʻihi o ke kūʻē ʻana i ke kaua ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe. Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā haumāna e nā moʻolelo o ka poʻe hoʻouluulu, nā palapala a mākou i heluhelu ai e pili ana i kā lākou hana, ʻo Jeanette Rankin e koho kūʻē nei i ke kaua ma mua o ke Kaua Honua Honua ʻelua a me ke Kaua Honua II, o nā huakaʻi, nā haʻiʻōlelo, nā boycotts, a me nā hana i hoʻonohonoho ʻia a pūʻiwa ʻia e ka helu o nā wahine i pili, "ua nui loa nā wahine" i ʻōlelo ʻia e ka haumāna wahine ke kahaha.

Ua hele aku nā haumāna mai ke anakahi me ka ʻike hohonu o nā kaua a ʻAmelika a me ka ʻike anu hou o ke Kaua Honua II a me Vietnam. Ua hoʻomaopopo pū nā haumāna aia kekahi moʻolelo o ka anti-war activism a loaʻa iā lākou nā ala ākea a nā mea hoʻouluulu i hana ai iā lākou. Eia naʻe, ua kaumaha a nalo hoʻi lākou. "Nui loa kēia (kaua) ... nui loa ... ke manaʻo nei wau ma hea wau e hoʻomaka ai" i haʻi ʻia kahi haumāna i ka wā e ninaninau ʻia ai. "Manaʻo wau e holo kēia (haumāna activism), pono nā papa hou aʻe e like me kēia ... a ʻaʻole hiki ia no nā pule ʻelua a me ka hapa wale" i haʻi aku ai kekahi haumāna. "Ma nā kamaʻāina ʻike mākou i nā mea āpau e pili ana i nā hōʻoia a me nā kaulike, pehea e lilo ai kahi pila i kānāwai, he leo ko nā kamaʻāina ... akā ʻaʻole loa mākou e aʻo pehea e hoʻonohonoho ai a makemake e hana i kahi loli. ʻLelo ʻia iā mākou he leo ko mākou akā ʻaʻole au i aʻo i ka hoʻohana ʻana ia mea, ”haʻi mai kekahi haumāna. Kūʻē kekahi haumāna ʻē aʻe inā e hoʻopaʻapaʻa ana, "paʻakikī kēia ... ʻelua wale nō a me ka hapa wale nō o nā pule? Makemake wau e like me ka mea hou aʻe.

Mai nā hanana o Sepatemaba 11, 2001 ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kahi ʻano mau o ke kaua. Pono e aʻo ʻia nā haumāna i kahi moʻolelo nuanced a piha hoʻi i nā kaua a ʻAmelika i komo ai.
