virtue of courage. Rather, Gandhi makes a normative commitment to nonviolence on the basis that it has epistemological value. Beitzel writes: For Gandhi, life is an experiment with Truth. That is, as we seek truth, we enter a process of moving toward it—a process we never cease because we never fully arrive. Because of our finitude, we must always be learning from others, including our adversaries. Truth is too big, and we are each to limited, to think that we may know the truth fully

Imperialism has increased peace and stability for various areas of the world through limiting slavery, improving land distribution and promoting different political systems. The first topic that I will be addressing is slavery. The goal of imperialism was to help areas who seem “uncivilized”, and from the start of this movement many people stated that they wanted to abolish slavery. Thomas Sowell (an american economist) once explained, “The anti-slavery movement was spearheaded by people who would

review its strategies for peace and security. In extremely complex internal conflicts, the peacekeeping operations seem unable to reach their objectives. The failure is a shared responsibility between the major powers, the peacekeepers and the UN. The permanent members of the Security Council

and decide if they legitimize our actions. After describing some compelling arguments, I will defend my own position that pacifism is the only ideal which mankind should embrace. According to traditional just war theory, a just cause must serve peace and not simply protect an unjust status quo. War must be used as a last resort and all pacifistic approaches must be

Introduction After the cold war humanitarian interventions has increased and since then they are more important when conducting peace operations. (Baylis, 2016, 266) Today there’s an ongoing debate on when to use military force and for what purpose. After the humanitarian intervention in Kosovo 1999 that was conducted without a mandate from the UN security council, Kofi Annan former Un security general subsidised to the debate on when to use military force.

slaughter dominates the minds of ethnic minorities. Minorities become the target by the impoverished majority. No one will be so confident to believe that every war is just and necessary. There is a common notion that under modern conditions peace cannot be guaranteed except on the basis of an equal scale of armaments and this may be the cause of stockpiling arms. Justice, common sense, and the recognition of man’s cry for dignity call for a cessation of arms and the decrease of violence.

The twin towers collapsing, the attack on the pentagon, and other attacks that day count as destruction to the environment.That’s not the best way to start a just war. A just war should start with a bribe of peace, a way for no one, especially civilians, to be hurt and for no one needed to even fight. For a war to be just before anything happens, there must be public authority for the war to commence. During a just war, the government and soldiers should avoid

Another major influence on the ability to institutionalize peace is the role of powerful national individuals. Many people will follow an influential figure and do whatever they say if they believe in what they are being told. This can be both good and bad depending on the situation. If the leader has radical views and wants change, they will often resort to violence to get what is desired. That is the worst case scenario because if peace is trying to be obtained, then fighting will only make the
