IS PEACE POSSIBLE?

Peace. A word that is desired by many in the world today, yet no matter how easy it can be achieved by our leaders today, polarization, differences, unattainable measures has caused peace to falter throughout human history. Moreover, rather than striving for peace, many in our world today dedicate their position of power to causing instability. Everyday our world strives for greater understanding of each other in order to attempt to unify; many times, international gatherings and conferences are held in order for people to come together to achieve peace. Many international events like the Olympics, World Games, the World Cup, and the World Championships are held in order to bring people together. However, when you turn on the television, you hear about wars, famines, political gridlock, and the divisive topics that plague our world today. When our world looks in the mirror, can the leaders of today achieve the peace that has been debated since the beginning of human time?
