They ensured the children’s safety by ensuring the lifting height wouldn’t be too long either. They were successful to ensure unity by letting the children from different borders to enjoy one same activity together despite having a divider in the middle. They also painted the seesaws in pretty hot pink colour as a symbolic to remember the women killed in femicides or died from violence against women. Although some may view it as only a colour, it is nice that they had a purpose and inserted a hidden meaning by choosing the hot pink colour.]]> 2022-01-23 08:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/msansom2/4x8y8xaajng3kdaq/wish/2006941364 https://padlet.com/msansom2/4x8y8xaajng3kdaq/wish/2006941576 It truly gave me hope that there is still humanity these days. The wall was built with a negative intention to separate people. Hence, creates inequity and further conflict. With the Teeter-Totter, these young children can focus on building greater relationships despite their level of class, wealth or the background difference. Perhaps one day the children will grow into loving humans that strives for unity and harmony, it does give a good possibility that the relationship between the US and Mexico would be strengthen once again with the wall dismantled.]]> 2022-01-23 08:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/msansom2/4x8y8xaajng3kdaq/wish/2006941576 https://padlet.com/msansom2/4x8y8xaajng3kdaq/wish/2006942054 Although I understand that they had to hurry when placing and locking the seesaws onto the wall due to the border patrols, perhaps it would have been better to have more Teeter-Totters to allow more children to play. It is quite difficult to think of an improvement, considering that there is a possibility (unsure high or low possibility) that this wall would be one day be dismantled.

As the wall has caused distress to many of the citizens affected, being able to see it replaced by joy, even for a short while was really heartwarming.

This is because shorter teeter-totter provides people the opportunity to chit-chat and exchange opinions on some topics transnationally. Relationship among each other will be improved and it is a very good chance to understand about other country’s culture better. Besides that, the teeter-totter can be painted in various colours which represent certain meaning. For example, the teeter-totter can be painted in United Nations blue which represent peace.

The boarder wall between United States and Mexico gives people the impression that difference between the rich and the poor exists among the two countries. This will directly affect the relationship and peacefulness between the two countries as people in Mexico may not be happy about this wall. Through this teeter-totter wall concept, people will leave behind the ‘power’ which try to separate them, and the relationship will be strengthen in the next few generations as more kids are attracted. Unity and equity can be achieved and balanced in an indirect way. Besides that, the colour of the teeter-totter is a reminder for people to avoid tragedy which may bring tremendous impacts.
