Creating Tolerance and World Peace

Posts Tagged ‘Canada’

World peace has been a dream of people as far back as we know. Unfortunately, no one has come to a conclusion yet on how to attain world peace. Many people have their opinions on how to accomplish this, but until there is more tolerance of differences world-wide, there simply cannot be world peace.

It sounds nice to think that by simply “learning to get along” or by everyone becoming tolerant of each other’s differences, that it would be enough. But, the reality is that the world is run by governments, each one wanting to be the controlling factor. There needs to be a form of government instituted that will actually become a “world” government. Because of the differences in cultures and people, there continues to be miscommunications, intolerance of other’s beliefs, cultures, and practices, etc. This continues to spark conflicts and incite wars against nations.

People all over the world have their opinions on how to achieve world peace, but the governing factors of the world, who are really the only ones who can achieve world peace, are not taking the necessary steps towards that goal. So long as each government continues to try to be a controlling factor, rather than working together to make the world as a whole a better place, the goal at a world-wide truce and in turn world peace, continues to be an unobtainable dream.

By becoming more tolerant and peaceful people ourselves, we can work together towards world peace. If enough private citizens of the world work together, eventually the governments of the world will have to start bending to the will of the people and may actually come around and start coming up with some solutions that will bring us closer to a world-wide peaceful solution to live together in harmony. Well, if nothing else, we can continue to dream that someday this could really happen and we will live to see peace throughout the world!

To work toward world peace, you must first know what world peace really and truly is. World peace, in a simple state, is the ideal of peace, freedom and happiness among all peoples and all nations. The idea of world peace is a utopian theory where non-violence exists across the planet, and by which every nation in the world cooperates willingly. This may be either by a system of governance preventing warfare or by voluntary measures. The term of world peace is sometimes used in order to refer to the end of all hostility among every individual, though the term is more commonly used for the purpose of referring to a complete and permanent end to all regional and global wars as well as future conflicts being solved through only non violent means.

There are many different theories regarding how people can achieve world peace, and they can differ significantly from one country to the next. For example, the theories regarding world peace in Canada will differ from the United States. A little bit of Canada 411 will show you that some countries are better at being peaceful than others.

There are a wide variety of political ideologies regarding world peace such as the capitalism peace theory, the democratic peace theory, cobdenism, mutual assured destruction, globalization, isolationism, non-interventionism, self-organized peace and the economic norms theory. There are also religious views regarding world peace such as Buddhism, baha’i faith, Sikhism, Christianity ideal, Hinduism, Islam theory and Judaism theory.

Each of these faiths and political theories offers different ideas for how to obtain world peace. Unfortunately, none is yet complete nor capable of helping to achieve world peace on its own. It will be a combined effort of these theories and ideas that will eventually bring about world peace, assuming that it is eventually a possibility.
