As I was watching TheFineBros videos in Youtube, I saw this video listed with other videos. I watched it and was surprised about how kids reacted to The Olympics(2012). It is amazing how simple kids think about it.
As usual, the video was first shown to the kids. Afterwards, the Fine brothers ask them questions about the video the kids watched. What is it that they watched, do they know it, what they think about it or what is its purpose. Basically, some kids knew about The Olympics and some do not. This was not the fact that surprised me but, the fact that the kids knew what the true purpose of The Olympics is. One girl said that it is where different people meet and play games(sports). Another kid, a boy, said that it is the only good thing we do besides the fights that constantly happens. the kids also said that instead of money, medals are given to promote being a good sport. For them it is an important event were people, who do not know each other, play with their best ability and become amazed with each others talent.
This video can pose as an eyeopener for the adults who think too much about being in power. It is very evident in the kids that they do not see The Olympics as a contest. Like our lives, we should keep it simple and live our lives the most fun way we can think of. We may have to reflect on the true purposes of the things we do. We should be like the kids who live their lives with ease and believe that all of us have our good sides.
