11 Summary Overall The Peace Corps is another way of seeing the world and living. You don’t do it for money, or anything like that, you’re simply just trying to help people out. The mindset of this organization is a lot like Morrie’s. Morrie tries to help people, consequently, he also studies people so he may sees things in people that no one else would see. The Peace Corps is something that could change the world.
