Helgegren, who is a current reporter and a lecturer of university, has two sons. He visited Syria and Israel with his two sons where dangerous fights have still broken out. He decided to visit such dangerous places because his children are addicted to ‘CALL OF DUTY (FPS game)’ that kills enemy troops with many weapons.
He knows well about truth of war because he had made a report at Middle East areas. So he wanted to teach their children that war is not adorable thing but dangerous thing. He saw terrible scenes due to wars and met a lot of soldiers, patients, refugees with his two sons. And he taught them that all of these miserable are resulted from ‘guns’. Their trip ended safely and his sons no longer play ‘CALL OF DUTY’. They realized the cause of war and what will remain if it happens. But, many people blame Helgegren for putting their children into war zone. For this matter, Helgegren says that while one child enjoys the war game with shooting the missile, other children including Palestine lose their life due to the real missiles.
Even though his behavior produces good results as he wished, but I feel some lack of his behavior. Why doesn’t he teach peace to his sons even though he showed them the scenes of war? It would be better for him to join the ‘World Alliance of Religions for Peace Summit’ which IPYG is along with. Though his behavior may seem to be foolhardy, I can feel that he really wants to transmit peace to their descendent as same as IPYG does. For the day when everyone on the world becomes happy, go for it, IPYG!
