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.
