Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s tone in his essay “Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community” begins as somewhat doubtful of peace. In his essay, King wrote about how many men and the wielders of power peace refuse to do what is required to actually accomplish peace. Also, world leader’s talk passionately about peace, however, those same leaders continue to per sure larger defense budgets, larger armies, and more devastating weapons. These same leaders meet at the peace table, ready to talk peace, but are bearing unsheathed swords. In addition, King delves into the conquerors of the past and also about the atrocities of Hitler and Vietnam.…

A wondrous thing is defying nature, which is the purpose of a device built to stop an egg from breaking at a height of 7 meters. The egg will fall onto a piece of paper, with cotton underneath, which is supported by a net of rubber bands, which are hoisted up by thick wood sticks. Also balloons are tied below to catch some of the force, and then just drop the egg. After the egg was dropped, it was a success; it landed smoothly and had no cracks. So this device catches the egg, and the force the egg brings so that it lands safely.…

Conflict is inevitable, and constantly present in life. Whether it’s obvious and right in front of your face or hidden beneath a pile of lies someone will always suffer because of it. Although that being said, without it- would we truly understand the importance of peace? There are some out there who believe that some of the greatest triumphs and acts of the human spirit were during times of great conflict such as wars and repression’s. But I believe that these events have caused the most horrific demonstrations of human nature in the act of killing the innocent.…
In 2012, it was estimated that more than 172 million people were affected by conflict worldwide. The effect of so many people being affected by conflicts is a way to respond to them. With all the conflicts in the world, people need to be able to respond and react to these conflicts in the best possible way.

“Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.” (Pico) is a wise adage once quoted by the famous Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I live the value of “making peace” on a daily basis in my career and personal life. I believe that it is important to live the value of “making the peace” along with teaching others that value especially in today’s society with all of the violent behaviors that young children and adults witness daily.

I teach my students a variety of skills including academic, social, emotional, and functional. Daily I strive to teach and model for my students the importance of developing…
As I get older I don't know how anyone could live without running. Some teenagers might look for confidence in other people, but for me, I rely on myself by exercising. I believe when you put yourself into the constant routine of running, your body no longer has control over your mind. Your mind has control over your body. I remember when I first started running, I would feel that shortness of breath and the throbbing pain in my muscles, I would have self doubt. My parents have always raised me to finish what I start. Because of that I promised myself that I would continue running so that I could one day call myself a runner. Now I am proud to say I am a runner. Running has not only given me the physical strength to do anything but also mental.…

We expect that peace to be omnipresent but what we need to realize is the fact that if we want peace- we have to live peacefully, love everyone, forgive, forget, etc.…
Water scarcity involves water stress, water deficits, water shortage and water crisis. The concept of water stress is relatively new. Water stress is the difficulty of obtaining sources of fresh water for use, because of depleting resources.Some have presented maps showing the physical existence of water in nature to show nations with lower or higher volumes of water available for use. Others have related water availability to population. A popular approach has been to rank countries according to the amount of annual water resources available per person. For example, according to the Falkenmark Water Stress Indicator a country or region is said to experience "water stress" when annual water supplies drop below 1,700 cubic metres per person per year. At levels between 1,700 and 1,000 cubic metres per person per year, periodic or limited water shortages can be expected. When water supplies drop below 1,000 cubic metres per person per year, the country faces "water scarcity"…
