What do you think about the topic of the animation?

This topic its amazing, that is a important example of the life and in a lot of cases many people feel like a Zero, at work, at Family and in the life.

How do you think we could teach tolerance and respect towards the difference?

We could teach the tolerance since at home, the first topic will be respects the others regardless of color, race or difficulties and we need we must learn to help others with heart.

Are you tolerant and respectful to people that think different from you?

I learned, If you respect to people that think different or act differently for me, respect me as. I always try to learn from others in order to improve my way of thinking and sharing good times because i hate the difference and a little tolerance on my life.

I think it's the harsh reality, today we judge other people by their social strata, even the society and state we sectorizan by socioeconomic strata.
our is difficult to help those pernonas we see on the street in need, hungry and with nothing to wear, and perhaps one reason is that we distrust everything and everyone, if someone who smells bad to ask us about money , our first thought is, sure we want to steal that person and the second thing we think is that the money we are asking is probably smoking drugs, the demoas judge people by the money they have and how to dress.

it is sad that our society every day we want to win more money and less help to others.

I think it is a good video because it shows the indifference of a person because of his color, whether fat, beautiful or ugly, that exists worldwide. You could teach from home because it is the center of education one has and is formed to address the people around you, if I am tolerant and respectful of other people because it is a way of showing the personality you have and that one has learned in life.

Some people confuse the anime when they talk about animation if the animation is also what makes Dreamworks, Pixar, Disney and others. I think this is incredibly amazing what can be done with an animation and how to give life to these characters.

I think the animation if teaches us tolerance and respect and above all always leaves us a story, just as are the values that our parents teach us at home.

I think I am tolerant and respectful of people who think differently to me, as each have our point of view and we are free to say what they see fit.

On the other hand, I found very interesting the day's activity from English, since the anime was amazing I mean by Saint Seiya, when I was younger I loved watching this series. I think I relived my childhood. : )

Thank teacher Lina

I think in this video shows us some realities that society today on day practice very very often with people that we believe are less than we, by their low social condition.
We Colombians, in his minority we assess the people for your money or apparent presentation.
The video is an example so that we follow the values ​​of respect and equality from our childhood,

The animations for me are an art that makes life better see and when expersar something, you better do it through an animation.

The best example for us all to be tolerant is to teach and do any act, is to start with oneself. the best example for us all to be tolerant is to teach and do any act, is to start with oneself, in situations irespeten others.

I think that in situations where people are different from my religion, my culture and myregion, and who think differently to me, just try to avoid comments that are leaving theLimete of respect.

This film is amazing, the graphics, the history, the characters, is really good. at the beginning of the film I did think that it was a film about racism and also I remembered the movie the scarlet letter, but these film show the message mainly the lack of tolerance, respect, indifference and pain to other people . But the film shows us if we keep the hope with joy our dreams will never fall.

I like the topic is interesting and creative. It is sad to think that after losing so many lives in wars not yet accept others that are different from us in many ways.When lack of tolencia directamenta affects us or impact us much, we react to our benefit, but if we play we remain indifferent to us and sometimes we think: These things happen!. We can help reduce intolenrancia from our house, first accepting ourselves as we are and respecting our differences and that spreads out. Guiovanna

Hi, about the english festival, the animations was great, they remembered me when i used to see the first Saint Seiya, that was a great experience.

In regard to the short movie of "Zero" I think that we must respect the differences between each of us and meaby we can learn something new from something unknown. Some times the unknown or unnatural don´t means that is a bad thing.

I always respect the other people because the life has teached me that.

Watching this video "Zero" remember me that I´m "these" Zero....

In fact I feel great the idea that in the university are developing this type of activity, as it promotes the cultural feedback, hopefully this will continue to promote activities in the different institutional days, on the other hand I loved my participation in the development of the promotional poster of the English Day, it really was a good project.

I had never seen anything regarding this as Zero, I really enjoyed: both in animation and creativity are good contributions.

JUANITA said...

It is a very painful situation, but at the end it is beautiful, to see as each person learns how to accept that we should not be same that we all are different and we think different, I don't need to discuss on what another person thinks or she wants, that is respect to understand and to accept the thought of the other one.
the end is pretty, the love of a human being passes above many situations

we are living a moment in which tolerance is taught from an early age to get to a better person in society.

I believe that tolerate has become one of the qualities with greater virtue, how difficult is to possess and even more to practice.

I want to share: a foundation working with and for young and children where my work on instilling values ​​(a somewhat difficult task sometimes, but lovely that fills me as a person)

But I want to clarify one thing is tolerated and quite another to endure.
tolerate is able to understand and understand.
hold has an end of exploitation and this brings nothing good

I think that this video is very very good for its originality, for its graphic quality, but above all the message that makes every one who seen it. I consider myself a man tolerant of people who think differently to me, regardless of race, color, religion, sex or social class, provided they have grounds to speak it their minds.

Hi everyone!!!

What do you think about the topic of the animation?

I think that it is a interesting topic, and the way that the Director exposed this is very creative, although it is just an animation you can see a hard truth of this world and is that we are so selfish and surface, that we don't really care about like the others are, what they feel or think and just for that simple reason most of the time we reject the people who are different to us.

How do you think we could teach tolerance and respect towards the difference?

The tolerance is not a subject that you can learn in your home or in the schools, I think that the people must to realize that each one of the people that live in the world is different, no all of us think on the same way, we don't have the same cultures, is just that we are so different from each other that is impossible to be so irrational and pretend to classify people in categories as if we are just a number.

Are you tolerant and respectful to people that think different from you?
Although sometimes they piss me off I try to understand their point of view and see the things from their perspective, because the reason that my point of view is valid for my it doesn't means that the other don't have a point to see it on in a different way. Actually, sometimes is great to share different ideas about a topic and finally get a general conclusion.

ANGIE BUITRAGO said...

is a good topic because it deals with what is experienced very often in families, most of all the poor, will always be a discrimination to many people for their economic stratum, for a defect that has the person if thereof. But it shows that there are more defects than we have there will always be someone who will love us as we are, and every suffering we have experienced in the past was offset by an eternity of happiness that will come for the future .

we could learn to be tolerant of faults of others if we look at our own faults that no one in this world is perfect.

I've always been a very supportive and I have my own flaws and based on that is that if I judge a person by a defect you have, at some point someone is going to judge me.

This video is very tenacious truth I do not like this kind of animation showing intolerance and in addition is a bad example for many users, like form must be very tolerant and demonstrate that although we think different should respect the opinion of each being one example.

What do you think about the topic of the animation?

the animation is an added value is innovation in the market, is a more visual display and things but now we live in a world of change.
It is necessary and obligatory.

How do you think we could teach tolerance and respect towards the difference?

I think you must first learn to respect each other and know that we are born unique, different from others and we live together.

Are you tolerant and respectful to people that think different from you?

honestly I'm not tolerant, it is sometimes difficult to accept that mistake and try to avoid those situations.
We are working to improve this difficulty.

•I think the issue of the animation is very good because nowadays tolerance is a topic so we can all dream about having respect for other ideas.
•I think that tolerance can be achieved by having respect and understanding what the other person express are around us every day
•If you respect the ideas and what they can get other people think about my point of view
