 1. Yes, because all the people in the village agree to kill or sacrifice the person who got picked.
 2. No, because nobody deserves to die even if it is good for others.
 3. No, because people have to change the old traditions if they are not okay according to the laws we have  now.

    This video is about soldiers' experiences at war, not war itself.The main idea of this video is that war is harder on the soldiers than most people know. According to the video, 99% of people only know about war from TV or video games, while only 1% of people actually go to war and many of these people have horrible experiences. 99% of us do not see the reality of war because TV and video games do not show us the real horrible experiences of war.
