Personal Definition Of Peace

According to Webster Dictionary, conformity is defined as, “in compliance of rules, laws, or standards.” Mark Twain’s, “Cone-pone Opinions,” demonstrates how society reacts to new conformities; individuals eventually conform to popular ideas and inevitably abandon these ideas for something greater. Twain states, “It is our nature to conform; it is force which not many can successfully resist.” (Twain 2). The reason people conform is not for self-approval, but rather, for the approval of others.

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.

The study of peace can often be complex and multifaceted due to its multidimensional outlook on certain cultural, political and environmental influences. As the United States entered the spring of 2017 it saw itself becoming more polarized and conflicted. The election of Donald J. Trump has provoked many emotions for Americans but whether good or bad, republican, or democrat, it has most noticeably been a year of difficulty. Unity is an aspect that people from both sides of the isle have been questioning and trying to address. In Trump’s first extended statement as president-elect, he used unity as a deliberate theme, stating:

War is Peace – If there was no war the citizens would not have peace, war is used as a way to control and regulate peace.

Violence is not always the answer to the world’s problems, but it is a great way bring attention to the cause of the problem. Peaceful negotiations is the only way to ensure that the aggressors and opposition both come to an agreement about the best outcome of their situation. Violence creates hate and hate in turn leads to more violence in the long-run thus continuing humanities cycle of self

“A Separate Peace” is more than just a book about war and stressful times. It is about maturation; in the case of Gene and Phineas, this couldn’t be truer. The two best friends who attend Devon Boarding School have to deal with a stressful time in their lives, growing up and having responsibilities, and the looming idea that draft age is not far. Throughout the book, the two go through a chain of events leading to loss of innocence, building up anger and stress, and eventually: accepting the reality of the situation. Their lives, dreams and ideals won’t be same afterwords.

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

Throughout the book, there are many different possible meanings for the title,“A Separate Peace.” One example includes references to Finny and Gene’s relationship, they seem to both have personal peace, but this peace seems to be separate. Another possible meaning of the title is the relation to the war term, when one nation forms an alliance with another but refuses to fight for that other country, forming a separate peace. Also, another relation with war is how the story was set during world war II but Finny and Gene were not affected very much, allowing them to be at peace. A Separate Peace is an appropriate title and suits the story well.

Law and order is a synonym for peace; however often to obtain peace law and order must be broken. Though this is true, peace is not all encompassing. Not only can peace can be found in some parts of life and lacking in others, but peace has many types that affect each part of daily life. A Separate Peace by John Knowles explores the relationship between external and internal peace. When external societal peace is disrupted people become willing to commit a kind of suicide by breaking the rules in an effort to obtain inner peace.

A Separate Peace, written by John Knowles, is a very complex book, which truly makes you think about the relationships you share. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to challenge their thinking or anyone looking for a great read.

Though the well known wars are occuring in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, there are many other wars occurring across the globe.How many innocents’ lives does society have to lose before we settle our agreements? If society continues on the path of war and destruction to settle their disputes the world will end in “bombardment, barrage, curtain-fire, mines, gas, tanks, machine guns, hand-grenades” all that “hold the horror of the world” (Remarque 132) much like the setting in All Quiet on the Western Front. With continuous warfare the world is far from perfect utopia but in distress. Though not all of society experiences bombs going off at their front doorstep and many can safely sleep, this is not the case for everyone. Society must begin to not characterize the world with only their lives but the lives of

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
