When one find's oneself in a hole of one's own making,
it is a good time to examine the quality of the workmanship.

The team that created this site, are students from NY, USA. At our High School, we decided that we ourselves did not know the cause of all the clonflict in the world or the reasons why we are al9igned with a religion, or no religion at all. Throughout the month of February 2006, we conducted a survey amongst varying grades and ages to see if our peers could help us. Some of the students did not understand why they celebrated holidays, some were knowledgeable about common crises in other countries, and some express feelings of prejudice which had conflicted them in the past. Below are the results of our poll conducted and some of the views expressed by students around the world.
