Hello everybody, this is the essay I wrote about world peace as an assignment in the first term of my freshman year at college.
The
Movements to the GARDEN of PEACE
Mankind perceptibly has made a big
leap in many areas including science and technology so far, and a great
progress has been made in the accumulation of extensive knowledge. The growth
of knowledge was an advantage for people, and it urged them to make use of it
in different areas. However, this advantage turned out something diabolical in
time because some people unconsciously or intentionally misused it, and became
too manipulative. Therefore, they tended to forget about humanitarian values,
which potentially leaded to chaos; still ongoing wars, conflicts, and violence
in the world. All these cost people to lose welfare, and long-term peace in the
world was adversely affected and destroyed. Now, world peace may seem so
utopian for many, it is not still concluded that global peace cannot be
rebuilt, though. Although, on the surface, it seems that it is out of the
question to achieve the world peace, we surely can get over it by taking steps
in disarmament, achieving unity for world civilization and resolving
governmental issues.
Initially, when it comes to world
peace, the crucial and efficient step for it is disarmament. As is known,
disarmament is “the act of reducing, limiting, or abolishing weapons.”[1] To
achieve this, some serious actions have been taken over time, however,
unfortunately, they did not last long as expected, and treaties even sometimes
backfired because some participants withdrew from the agreements at will.
Despite this, in the civilized and modern world, nationalities can still come
to compromise and mutual agreement at the issue of disarmament by providing and
enhancing security with cooperation in respect to political diplomacy and
international affairs. Thus, with a high degree of probability, we can have the
chance to abolish the most destructive arm type, nuclear weapon. According to a
report held in the Sabah newspaper, there are 438 nuclear power stations in 30
countries while there are 42 stations still built up now[2].
It can be concluded from the report that nuclear weapon is a huge privilege and
a powerful convention in the army, concurrently, it is explicitly something
essential for nationalities to stand tall and strong, as well. However, the
necessity of power can be annihilated, and this point can be truly obtained by
terminating invasions. If there were no invasions, there would not
correspondingly be power requirement. Considering the argument above, to have a
better and peaceful world, we are supposed to eternally
capitulate all kinds of weapons for the sake of world peace.
Secondly,
it is also crucial to achieve unity for world civilization for the benefit of
world peace. First primary solution for unity is that there should not be any
severe social, religious, ethnic segregation or any conflict of ideology in
public and on international field because these kinds of issues are very likely
to trigger an unending commotion. To quash the sense of discrimination and
increase the awareness of pluralism and egalitarianism, we are supposed to
elucidate one another that our fundamental desires and requires are the same as
human beings. Within this direction, we can effectively work off our energy to
conduct negotiations in an innovative way at intervals by making headway. There
appears then to be acceleration in the growth of technology, science and any
required area for the good of all mankind. Once, Henry Ford laid emphasis on
the importance of solidarity by saying that “coming together is a beginning; keeping
together is progress; working together is success.”[3] As
he outspokenly pointed out, it is momentous to confederate with one another in
point of civilization as for the belief in a perdurable world peace.
The last but not least step to sustain
world peace could be reviewing governmental issues extensively to make sure
that there is no any abetment triggering chaos within the countries. Each
government has the privilege to lead their own country as requested. However,
there should be some certain restraints on the rights of governments inspected
by International court of justice. Primal restriction is that no government can
exert authority over their people for its political expedience. In the contrary
case, civil war may be inevitable for certain as communities, to knowledgeable
extent, have adequately developed not to victimize themselves and to take a
stand against any tyrant sovereign. As an epitome for a rebel against
government can be ongoing civil war in Syria since 2011 and causing 470.000
people to die over the course of 5 years.[4] With
a view not to experiencing such a slaughter again, we, beforehand, are to work
this affair out in an official way rather than causing massacres and shedding
innocents’ blood. To achieve this scot-free with caution, and to obviate the
risk of serious civil war, there should be some written constitutions about
negligent governments to be over thrown. Under this circumstance, welfare would
not be lost in the countries because governors, perforce, are supposed to abide
by the rules. As it was previously stated, unrestricted prerogatives should not
be handed over to governments so as to establish peace in the world.
In epitome, the solutions that I
brought about at the threshold of the writing such as disarmament, achieving
unity and resolving governmental issues may finally turn out to be vital to
obtain world peace. To try our hand at achieving global peace with ease, we, as
a duty of each individual, can simply pacify our hearts so as to act en masse
as companions. Under this circumstance, we do not have to use guns against one
another, which simultaneously may carry out two principal points of cogitations
above and drive us to a comprehensive peace. The justification for this act is
that disarmament may take top priority to obtain world peace as violence is
mostly intensified by the usage of all kinds of weapons. The entire point is
that either we will learn -if fate secretly smiles on human kind- to live all
together in peace and contentment and to invigorate earth with love and radiant
beauty in the fullness of time or we will not have a tale to tail to our
grandchildren because there, beyond the shadow of a doubt, will be no man kind
on earth as we all come to an ineluctable and bitter end, decease.
