The Importance Of World Peace

806 Words4 Pages

Jealousy, robbery, murder, and war are constant and people ask why we can’t just get along and have world peace. Well, no matter what you try, world peace is impossible to truly obtain. There are many factors to this but the main factors are; people are different, people are emotional, and even if people were all the same they still would perceive themselves either superior or inferior to others.
We live in a world with 6.5 Billion different people. Let us put that into perspective by writing it out, 6,500,000,000 different people, which is grand number of people. Now with these 6.5 billion people, every single one is different. There is not a single person on this planet that is exactly the same as another person. This difference no matter how small will cause friction between people. Take this small amount of friction between people and increase it by a magnitude of 6.5 billion and you are bound to some fire. Not only are people different by person they are also different by social statues. Some people are born into this world or even achieve greatness and wealth were many are not. This will cause, fair or not, jealousy from others. The envy of wanting what others have even if you really don’t want or need it. People just want what everyone else has simply because it is in our human nature. Some people believe that we can overcome our human nature but fail to see what will always bring out our true nature, fear. Fear is one of the biggest reason why true peace can never

    Conflict can change interaction between people, escalate, and lead towards violence when people within a community express intolerance and restrict others. Some leaders of a community confine others who are different from them, conveying their intolerance; this usually creates more conflict and perpetuates negative opinions. The article “In the City of Brotherly Love” is a clear example of this. After a wave of Irish Catholic immigrants began arriving in the U.S. in the 1820s given the impression that it was a land of opportunity, they unexpectedly received a bitter welcome from the Anglo-Saxon Protestant community. Since they are looked down upon and given no control regarding their rights (including education, religion, and employment),

    999 Words  | 4 Pages

    Rules and Subjectivity Society is fundamentally built upon rigid structure and control using rules to attempt to maintain order amongst a society comprised of many individuals. Inherently rules put at expense the freedom of individuals to achieve personal happiness in order to build a society comprised of more equally achieving individuals. Ayn Rand’s novella Anthem builds a society in which rules restrict all individual freedoms and force a more collective ideal. The rules put in place by the society are meant to make everybody collectively more happy and prevent inherent human subjectivity; however, inherent to human nature, rules can be subjectively interpreted. In contrast to the pre-existing society presented by Rand, Equality 7-2521 seeks

  • A Separate Peace Strengths And Weaknesses

    Strength develops in someone through their experiences which have the ability to make them an emotionally stronger person. A quote by Ernest Hemingway presents that “the world breaks everyone, then some become strong at the broken places.” Even those who suffer the most will have the ability to bounce back at a stronger state. This theme reveals its relevance in A Separate Peace by John Knowles as we analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the main characters, Finny and Gene. Although some may insist that Finny’s emotional state fits the mold of a weak character, I have confidence that Finny has the most inner strength out of the two boys given his description and actions throughout the novel.
