Kite Flying

Kite flying has a great deal of importance on the Afghani people. As the reporter in the video said, kite flying can serve as a temporary means of escape from the violence constantly going on in the country. It serves as a symbol of unity for those torn apart by violence and turmoil. In our country a rodeo could serve a similar purpose. It is really an escape from reality, as well as a little dangerous. Also, rodeos aren't extremely regulated - similar to kite flying.
