WW3 or World Peace?
There are
two types of people in this world, people who want world peace, and people who
want to help out other countries even though it is through violence. Let's take
into consideration the United States at the moment. Right now, this country has
a lot of dangerous enemies. Within those enemies, you could find Russia, North
Korea, and some terrorist groups from the Middle East. After reading the
article from the Huffington Post about the possibility of a third World War, I
realized that for the upcoming future decades, there would be no World Peace. This
article talks about how during the Cold War, World War Three almost breaks out
between the United States and Russia. It also talks about how throughout the
years after the Cold War up to today; the US has kept their same type of
relationship with Russia. To make the situation worse, the threat level of
terrorist groups in the Middle East has risen. If someone asked me (before
reading this article) if I believed that world peace would be possible in the near
future, I would’ve said yes. Now, after reading this, my views have changed
completely. As negative and pessimistic as I sound, the reality is that with
all these problems going on at the same time, world peace is impossible. After
watching the Ted Talk on world peace, I looked back into a part of the script
that said “More police, more military soldiers, but for defense.” This makes
sense, but at the moment, there are other bigger problems in the world where
the help of the military is needed. This is one of the main reasons why world
peace is out of reach at the moment. I hope that in the further future, world
peace is one day achieved. I want my children to live in a world full of peace.
Me too! Well done!
