Final blog post

Something that really resonated with me was the video we watched instructing kids on what to do in the case of a nuclear bomb attack (I think it was a commercial during the 60s?). It reminded me of what it was like to be in Israel two summers ago. There was a period of a few months where rockets were fired into cities every day and the sirens were going off all the time (and people had anywhere from 5-30 seconds to get to the nearest bomb shelter or safe area depending on what city they were in). There was also a commercial and a song taught to young kids in school (similar to the commercial we saw in class) that taught them what to do in the case of a "red alarm" or "red siren". It was interesting because to most people, watching that commercial in black and white seemed so crazy and outdated, but in other places in the world it is still a reality today.
