Remembering

1)  What does Obama think Mandela’s death should prompt people to do?

 Although Mandela did pass away, his lessons did not.  Obama said that we should use what Mandela left for us to reflect on ourselves.  

2)  What does Obama mean when he says, 
     “We cannot allow our progress to cloud the fact that our work is not yet done?”

Obama is essentially saying that we can not always put ourselves first.  You have to help others, donate money and think of people other that you. 

3) When Obama says, 
     “Young people around the world – you, too, can make his life’s work your own,” 
     What does he mean?  How did Obama do this?  How might you do this?

He means that we should be inspired to make changes just like Mandela did.  It does not matter your age, as long as you are aware and are open to help.

4)  What are some of the problems the world faces today?  How can people stop them?

Some problems are poverty, hunger and multiple types of inequality.  We can try to stop it by donationg to different organizations that help.  If there are little things happeneding, you can be the one to try and stop them.  A lot of people think that if there are some organizations out there, they will stop poverty, but that is not true.  It depends on everyone working together.
