Against a backdrop of an ever increasing number of internal conflicts and the crash of conventional means of conflict resolution to attain a resilient peace in divided societies, this paper presents a two-track approach to peacekeeping and conflict resolution. One track is represented by peacemaking, defined as endeavors at finding a resolution to the issues in conflict at the political leadership level. The other track, peacebuilding, refers to contact proposals at the grassroots level targeting at the enhancement of intergroup relations. After a conversation of role of grassroots peacebuilding in a peace process some groundwork findings on the bond between peacemaking and peacebuilding in two divided societies, Palestine and Israel, will be discussed.
While when discussing the history of the world’s power forces, violence makes for stimulating discussion, other tactics were put to good use, one of these alternatives being non-violence. With the guidance of three worldwide heroes - Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela - with contagious optimism and high spirits, it became apparent just how much of a difference could be made carried out through non-violent terms. Mankind was introduced to another way to resolve major problems just as effectively, if not more, than violence could.

In regard to staff involvement and responsibilities, the same guidelines and evaluation can and should be made with any organization and/or the program being evaluated. PEACE is an organization developed to cater to individuals who have been the victims of domestic violence or who have been involved with law enforcement and the judicial system as a result of abuse leading them into unlawful behavioral patterns. They may start to abuse drugs or alcohol to escape their pain or to fit in. They may run away from their homes, and end up on the streets commiting crimes as a means for survival.
Achieving peace required that all men and all nations move in the “direction of compassionate tending to citizens.” Addams maintained that as men and nations eneed to the needs of citizens the possibility of war become more remote, Addams understanding of peace was deeply rooted in her sense of optimism about human beings. Addams believed”human beings are more similar that they are different and what unites is stronger than what divides. Given these news, she maintained “war is not a natural activity for mankind” and that it was abnormal for men to fight against each other. The process of coming together into friendly relationships is at the heart of
Conflict Resolution is an essential element of life but a task filled with so many diverse issues that not many can engage it without feeling a bit unprepared.

Education is necessary to prevent wars. Zinn highlights a few intellectuals that are extremely opposed to war. To cultivate peace, people must understand each other culturally. Classes should teach about current events in other countries, as well as customs and beliefs. We as people, have to understand each other, and look at each other as equals. We also need to know how to solve conflicts and disputes, skills we often learn on the playground over trivial things like a ball or whose turn it is on the swing. These disputes are frivolous at the time, but they allow

My topic of World Peace began to develop as I felt the need to address the idea of World Peace. In addition, I selected this topic to confirm that the idea was impossible to achieve. Through a long period of research, I began to learn about World Peace. As I was studying the topic, I was lead to many websites and articles to support my claim, a possible way to achieve World peace was nonchalant. Scholarly articles, written news stories, and credible websites assisted me in learning more about the possible conflicts that can prevent this idea from becoming true. I learned how many of the
