Reflection on Walls
Welcome to Berlin, a city full of history and
culture! Did you know that for 28 years the city of Berlin was divided
by a large stone wall? Imagine, just for a moment, waking up in your
hometown to find that a huge wall was running through town and you weren’t
able to get to the other side. What if your best friend or grandparent’s
house was on the other side of the wall? How would you feel?
While learning about and experiencing Berlin, keep in mind that a wall
divided this city for almost 30 years. This is a very long time.
Spend some time thinking about walls.
Who uses walls? What are walls often used for? Do you ever
put up walls? Why? Why not? After reflecting on walls
and what they could represent, write a one page reflection on how you see
walls in our society. Also, include in the reflection how you
think walls can be broken down.
