World Peace

I do not think true, 100% world peace is possible. It is in human nature to ignite conflict. Since the beginning of time, mankind has always been in some sort of conflict, whether it be person vs person, self, or the world at large. This is evident in literature, as all stories revolve around conflict. There are things we can do to bring about greater peace, but widespread peace will never be achieved. Social stratification and conflict is the greatest barrier, as it is out of social constructs and differences that war most often results. Promoting the acceptance of different cultures and ideals is a good way to promote peace. Countries can work to promote diplomatic relations among one another to increase peace as well.

To promote peace, I think people should learn better conflict resolution. World peace is not possible, but promoting constructive ways to solve conflict is a good step in the right direction. The world population is increasing at a rapid rate, and saying that zero conflict is achievable is a bit out there. By teaching young people constructive ways to solve conflict, increased peace tomorrow is possible. But there is always going to be conflict.

Caine's Arcade

Caine Monroy is a little boy who built his own arcade out of cardboard. He built it over summer in his dad's shop. He waited the whole summer for a customer. One day, a directer came in the shop and changed his world. He made a short documentary about the arcade, and spread awareness of the arcade by creating a sort of "flash mob" event at the arcade. Overnight, Caine's arcade had tons of visitors. People in different states knew about his arcade and were talking about it. The internet spread his idea, and with that knowledge of him. By becoming connected on the internet, Caine was able to spread awareness of his idea. Being connected to the right people is key in getting a message seen by the right people. By meeting the director, Caine's life was changed. The internet is a great tool to further one's brand, because it allows information to be disseminated to copious amounts of people. The internet is a great tool to utilize in order to get your idea sent out to the world. Social network sites are a good way to come into contact with people in your field.
