In A Separate Peace written during the Cold War primarily but set primarily in 1942 during World War 11, John Knowles presents a novel that looks at the positives and negatives of war and what it takes for young men to prepare to become soldiers. The novel portrays a man by the name of Gene Forrester who goes back to Devon, his hometown, and has a flashback on his high school years recalling how everything used to be. The flashbacks of his high school years start when he enters Devon School. He reminisces on what the school previously looked like, to what it looks like currently. The school was not modernized; it was just polished up. He thought it would have been worn out and falling apart, but instead it was really well taken care of, and

The twentieth century was a century characterized by war, technological advancements, and the formation of new relationships that to this day continue to shape and impact the world. Powerful countries used the world as their playground, making crucial decisions that had an impact all across the globe. Technological advancements transformed the concept of war, making it deadlier than before. Within this atmosphere, several events and movements occurred during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries that changed the face of history, either for worse or for better. Imperialism, the Great War, and the Cold War affected every corner of the globe and greatly impacted the twentieth century.

As Cierco(Source A) said to his son, “physical force… is characteristic of man.” Peace may last for some time, but differing views on complicated issues means fighting for what you believe is right. For example, the Cold War clearly supports this message because the US strongly believed in democratic values and they were fighting against the Soviet Union who desired to spread communism. The Cold War strengthened US politically because they maintained their democratic values and contained communism by helping out countries that were devastated after World War II. The US was strictly against communism because it harmed their democratic views and because this could not be solved through discussion, the Cold War was bound to happen. The US and USSR wanted to gain more allies through the spread of their own ideologies but, the Soviet Union clearly had a negative intent of spreading their power on the world. The US policy of containment weakened the Soviet Union because they were not able to spread communism and therefore led to the fall of their empire. This shows that war can either strengthen countries or weaken countries who abuse their use of power. Action must be taken against countries who have a negative purpose of spreading their power and if not resolved through discussion, this means going to

Is peace possible in the Middle East? This question weighs heavy on the minds of many individuals and international players. Turmoil and conflict in the Middle East not only affects the people inhabiting this region, but also has global consequences. To answer this question, one must analyze the sources of conflict in the Middle East, historically, currently, and in the future. The limited amount of natural resources in this region has arguably served as the most major source of conflict in the Middle East. Other contributing factors to conflict are the leadership styles of the key players in positions of power, and religious strife. History is often the best indicator for the future. Unfortunately, the Middle East has had a history of

Humans have hardly been in harmony from the spark of creation. As each century has passed, humans have seen violence and war fill each of the one hundred years. Today wars such as the one in Iraq, which according to IBC, has claimed 1,318 just in 2017 alone. And it is estimated to have killed 251,000-1,000,000 people throughout its course. The Iraq War is a constant reminder that humans destroy each other and contradict the basic necessity of a utopian society: peace.

There are moments in our history where the citizens of the world stand up and for their beliefs, their honor, and themselves. They come together to reform the existing government that is holding them back from achieving their desired lifestyle. When this occurs, most likely, war is inevitable to follow. When war comes to a country, death and destruction is destined. Leaders and rules change, but the pride of its citizens prevails and becomes

Another major difference between the two conflicts is the scale each one was fought on and its worldly impact. The Cold War was primarily fought between the US and Soviet Union, but it was very much a world wide war. To start, by the end of WWII, the US and Soviet Union were in control, or fighting for, most of the world countries. In addition, the US instituted the Truman Doctrine, which states that the US will assist any nation threatened by or fighting against communism (“The Truman Doctrine”). This policy opened up the war to the rest of the world and was the US policy for the next 45 years. This policy lead to multiple proxy wars and confrontations with communist forces and influence in every corner of the world. The Cold War became involved

As tensions continued to augment profoundly throughout the latter half of the Cold War period, they brought forth a movement from a previous bipolar conflicting course, to one of a more multipolar nature. These tensions were now not only restricted to the Soviet Union and United states, but amongst multiple other nations of the globe. It became a general consensus that a notion of ‘peace’ was sought globally, hence, the emergence of détente. The nature of this idea in the short term conveyed itself to be an act of change for the conflicting nations, however, in the long term it proved to be a blatant continuity, ultimately acting as a ‘mechanism for domestic fortification’ which prompted a more divisive tone. It became apparent that by the prime 1970’s Cold War countries were now seeking a state of relaxation in political and international tension, détente, through measures of diplomacy and negotiation. Actions, influences and treaties such as the Helsinki Final Act of 1975, the establishment of SALT 1, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty of 1972 and the Shanghai Communique of 1972 evidently help reinforce that the concept of détente brought a period focused on lessening the tensions of international relations and ultimately achieve political relation for the future of the Cold War, although the success and impact of this era is abhorred by many historians who have concluded that détente didn’t activate any positive changes to the cold war, and was conclusively a failure.

There is certainly no peace at all. But they don’t lose hope. They still fight for what is right, they still fight for peace and freedom. Striving for peace is not easy to achieve, but if you have the spirit and willingness, you will be able feel the power of peace. Instead of seeking inner peace, we seek to enforce peace on others. And that just doesn't work. Peace is a gift you can give to others and to yourself
