Spectrum Series event

The Spectrum series event was a fantastic speech that effectively engaged the audience with the speaker. The goal of the speech was to try to display just how brutal the conditions are in places like Burundi, because of violent events such as civil unrest and ethnic conflict. Many people have probably never heard of this nation in Africa, and many more people are probably unaware of the conditions that exist there. Burundi is not a safe place, as many people are extremely sick, malnourished, and simply afraid. The speech definitely succeeded in both showing the audience what exactly is happening in places like Burundi, and inspiring the audience to help improve places similar to it.
This speech connects to what we have learned in our AMST 100 class in that racial and ethnic conflicts can terrorize any country and tear it apart. Racial conflicts exist everywhere in the world, and people should step up to help protect these places from civil unrest. Countries have literally been destroyed by the fighting of its own people, and learning from these past occurrences, the world can become a better and safer place.
