The Pros And Cons Of World Peace

1969 Words8 Pages

“A grasp: an act of faith, but not a blind grasp; a wary but hopeful act of faith; a careful, hopeful grasp of faith.” Anonymous A solution exists and hides underneath the grasp of our hands, which we have yet to open our minds to. World peace can be achieved by means of fixing flaws in the current world organization, United Nations, which would potentially restore balance to the scale, allow the enforcer better utilities to enforce the rules, and to allow it to stand independently regardless of the worldly influences which might cause it to disband. Hence, the question begins: Is there a better solution to world peace? A better solution might already rest in our hands, just not used correctly. The current world organization, the United Nations already provides us with a basic concept and a theoretical solution to solve problems and negotiate terms without resorting to violence. Yet it is flawed; not in the minor details that could easily be fixed but, the sentiment and the structure itself. Although it tried to mend the problems of the previously unsuccessful world organization, The League of Nations, some of the problems remain with the latter. Flaws of both organizations include a certain slant in the decision making process which does not provide a fair share of power to everyone. The League of Nations set a precedent with a ‘Western-Oriented’ Security Council whose policy of requiring unanimous decisions made it near impossible for decisions to get across or the

    Precisely, as stated by Irreconcilable William Borah in a speech to the Senate in 1918, the League of Nations in particular stands no chance at imposition, and certainly does not stand on its own, for it clearly, contradictorily advocates for the very measures that it seemingly goes against: “The first proposition connected with the proposed league is that of a tribunal to settle the matters of controversy which may arise between the different nations. Will anyone advocate that those matters which are of vital importance to our people shall be submitted to a tribunal created other than by our own people and give it an international army subject to its direction and control to enforce its decrees? I doubt if anyone will advocate that … if you do not do so, Mr. President, what will your league amount to? … In its last analysis the proposition is force to destroy force, conflict to prevent conflict, militarism to destroy militarism, war to prevent war. In its last analysis it must be that if it has any sanction behind its judgment at all.

  • 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.

Many countries also ended up not joining, which meant that they didn’t have to follow the rules that were made by the League of Nations.

    Carr emphasises the naivety to base the study of international politics on an imaginary view of how we like to see the world. One such naivety I understood from the text was the establishment of The League of Nations, a collective security instrument. A Utopian concept, Carr is critical of the League due somewhat to his belief that it was trying to generalise world politics between “sixty known states differing widely in size, in power, and in political, economic, and cultural development” (Carr, 1939 p. 30). Another criticism of Carr’s toward the League was the notion that more powerful states would use the League as means to ensure their own interests were
