All You Need Is Love By Elizabeth Cobbs Hoffman

The idea of universal love is one that is prevalent in the media. With the news filled with grim stories and horror many people are calling to the idea of loving everyone. Tensions are high concerning race relations, gender discrimination, and sexual orientation. Many in the general public are calling for humanity to embrace humanity. Many in the general public are asking “why we can’t just love one another”? Stephen T. Asma tackles this idea of love in his article published in the New York Times. Asma discusses two different ideas about universal love before offering his own take on the subject. Just as Asma states, universal love is a myth and closer personal relationships should be favored.

promote friendship and world peace (Olugbemiga). The Peace Corps was so successful that it is

The Peace Corps, officially established on March 1st 1961, is a governmental agency devoted to world peace and progression. The Peace Corps was established by Senator John F. Kennedy when he inspired a group of students at the University of Michigan to work for their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing societies abroad. From that encouragement developed an agency of the federal government.

First I will start by telling what the peace corps the peace corps is a volunteer program run by the United States government. John F. Kennedy ( JFK) started the peace corps to help out the people in need and give them chance and is giving them technical assistance. They have helped several people in the united states that was in need for shelter and in need for technical assistance. The united states mission of the peace corps provides technical assistance also helping the people outside the united states to help them understand American culture and to help Americans understand other country culture.

The Peace Corps was a volunteer program

Cobbs-Hoffman opens the first chapter of her book by introducing John F. Kennedy giving speech to the students of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, a speech that would bring about change to the world starting in the 1960’s. Kennedy challenged the students “to undertake the adventure of a lifetime” in order to bring freedom to places like Africa, Latin America, and Asia on behalf of the United States, to work in foreign service and to help the United States compete as a free country . The vision of the Peace Corps is one to help the lesser developed countries while educating the American youth of the struggles of the people from these areas; while moving to become like the “ugly American”, who understands the people of the world and tries to help them achieve a better way of life but also learns from the people of the world in order to come a better Americans .

In the age of “Camelot,” President Kennedy was a young, fresh, opponent running against his off-putting fellow candidate Richard Nixon. Kennedy represented not only a fresh start to a rejuvenated government, but also provided a strong platform on which Americans could find a way to serve the nation themselves. Although the Peace Corps was an ideological call for Americans to serve their country, President Kennedy ultimately used it as an international propaganda tool.

The Peace Corps, formed in 1961, was a highly influential group of young Anti-Communist graduates who volunteered their time across the country to bring modernism and democracy to third world countries, stop communism from spreading, and changed the way the world thought about Americans. When World Wat II finally came to a close , many agreed that it would be a good idea to organize the youth of America and have them volunteer in foreign countries. Many bills had been proposed by the United State Congress, such as one early bill penned by Senator Hubert, although the idea was first credited by Senator Brian McMahan, who first had the idea of an "army" of young Americans to as "missionaries of democracy."

If it was not for Kennedy the Peace Corps would not have started how they did and they would not become what they are today. Kennedy was very persuasive and captured the American’s attention very fast. Before he was elected president, he was very interested in making the peace corps possible; A peace corps is designed to understand people from other places in the world, it is made up of volunteers. In the 1960’s The Peace Corps volunteers helped provide the development idea of “progress from tradition to modernity”(Fischer 3) The Peace corps volunteers were confronted with the huge task. Confronting how different

President Kennedy started the Peace Corps on September 22, 1961 because he believed that the purpose of higher education was to serve a greater purpose in the world. However, due to WWII, the US believed that putting young Americans in developing countries would spread our influence. Kennedy attempted to deny this by stating the Peace Corps was not propaganda or a tool for the Cold War. The Peace Corps has about 7,000 volunteers every year, but they need at least 100,000 to be truly effective. However, no one is ever able to gain the support necessary to increase the funding. In fact, more money is spent on the military bands than the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps barely has any trained volunteers, which are needed more than fresh-out-of- college students. The only goal that people believed was achieved by the Peace Corps was promoting a better understanding of Americans. The Peace Corps is no longer

Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick provides insight into the lives of North Korean defectors while in North Korea. Their accounts give inside information about the North Korean regime which makes it possible to analyze to what extent society was an egalitarian utopia. The interview reveals that people were discriminated by social class as evident by those who were richer, and thus in a higher social strata, having more opportunities for success. There was also economic inequity which was apparent by people having different degrees of struggle. However, the problems North Koreans faced was similar, which showed there was some equality from their struggles. Overall, the interviewees give accounts which contradict the idea that the North Korean regime was promoting egalitarianism through their accounts which give counterexamples regarding social class and economic status, so their claim of egalitarianism is mostly false.
