...Written by Anis Ahmed Quest for peace and justice is perhaps a core issue and a major shared aspiration in most of the world religions. However, a more realistic analysis will show that even for the Secularist thinkers peace has been a major concern, though, their basic assumptions and the motivating force behind it may be totally different. The post-capitalism mind set, with its deep commitment to economic development, individualism and ethical relativism, gradually developed a belief that war, can not help, in the long run, in achieving the social and economic targets of the industrialized world. Pacifism, in due course, as an individual commitment to non-violence was projected further and extended to other areas of concern. The strategic use of armed conflicts and wars, directly related with the capitalist urge to control sources of raw material and to create markets for its products, was reconsidered. A new strategic thinking put forward the thesis that peace and pacifism can also pave the way for free trade movement and help the capitalist powers in achieving their objectives, for which, conventionally, bloody wars were waged. In the post-world wars era, a functional approach of trade, travel, and democracy was considered as basis for internationalism. In an era of search for peace, efforts were made to avoid physical wars, considered enemy of free trade and travel. The age of cold war offered new opportunities for development of regional economies, mutual understanding...

...Among world leaders, the 14th Dalai Lama is one of the most interesting and significant public figures of this time. There is no one quite like the Dalai Lama, political and spiritual leader and Nobel Peace Prize Winner. Born in 1935 to a family of poor farmers in Taktser, a small village of what was then known as Tibet, he was found by Tibetan monks at age two and declared the “new incarnation” of the Dalai Lama when he was not quite three years old. He had an unusual childhood, becoming a monk at age six and head of the state of Tibet at age 16, but was later forced into exile by the Chinese government and had to flee to India in 1959. Since that time, he has traveled around the world, spreading his message of peace, equality, compassion, love, nonviolence and advocating for the welfare of Tibetans....

...democrats Aung San Suu Kyi and Anwar Sadat both explore the prospect for peace, equality and tolerance within the conflicts that were current to the time of their delivery. The speech ‘Keynote Address at the Beijing World Conference on Women’ 1995, and ‘Statement to the Knesset’ 1977, reveal to responders the power of speeches to correlate the actual and the possible through a promotion of ethical values, unity and hope. Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the National League for Democracy conveys the impact of barriers between tolerance, and conflict. Her speech addresses not only those at the Beijing conference, but the international community to urge for gender equality and tolerance. Aung San Suu Kyi informs that 1995 is the “International year for Tolerance" to directly engage her audience. With her appeal Kyi’s political passions are highlighted in her critical assertion, “insecure people tend to be intolerant…where there is no security there can be no lasting peace.” This contrast confronts the impediment of political tensions, claiming through the anaphora of “it is want”, “it is fear” that liberation from political desires can achieve peace. Thus her speech is integral to not only the Burmese democratic issue in 1995, but upon reflection of the ongoing obstacles of human security and militarisation that tolerance incorporated the need to “understand the point of view of others.” Unity and peace are the aspirations and principles endorsed in Anwar Sadat’s speech in Israel...

...Running head: CASE STUDY 4 FINAL ESSAY Jessica Miller CJ430 Conflict Management March 4, 2012 CASE STUDY 4 FINAL ESSAY 1 What is this world all about? Is it the money, power, fame, intellect or politics? If you ask me, I believe that in terms, it is all the above. If you have a lot of money, which it basically says “money talks and bull crap walks” and to be power and politics goes hand in hand. There isn’t one without the other. This world that we live in today is all about politics, where it seems that you have to bend over and kiss butts just to get by or to keep your job. In order to get this or that in life, sometimes you have to know the “right” people in “higher” places. It’s not right but unfortunately that is how it is. With politics, comes along with conflicts. There are debates when it comes down to it. During the Presidential campaigning, there are debates between two people address the nation with a lot of problem solving concerning the issues of the world. One party is stating what they believe that is better for the world while the other party will beg the difference. Both parties will make each other out to be liars but in all reality, Politian’s are just that; liars. Debates are great to have to know which party will win, back down and which party will get caught up in a lie. My all time favorite of listening to Politian’s is that when they are debating, they will refuse to answer a question and will...

...ASEAN’s achievements and contribution to its members Since its inception in 1967, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has made a number of achievements towards regional peace, stability, and prosperity. Thailand has played an active role in ASEAN from the very beginning. Thailand is one of the founding members of ASEAN, together with Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore. The ASEAN Declaration or Bangkok Declaration was signed on 8 August 1967 at Saranrom Palace, Bangkok. As stipulated in the Bangkok Declaration, ASEAN was established with an aim to promote peace and stability, and accelerate economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region through joint endeavors in a spirit of equality and partnership. Over the years, ASEAN has gradually evolved and expanded to include Brunei Darussalam (1984), Viet Nam (1995), Lao PDR and Myanmar (1997), and Cambodia (1999). The peace and stability that the Southeast Asian countries have been enjoying today to a large extent, largely due to ASEAN's role as a forum that promotes and fosters trust and confidence amongst its Member States.

...“American people are self-centered; they're concerned only with their personal interest, not caring enough about the interest or sharing an interest with other countries." Senior Chief Correspondent and journalist, Hidetoshi Fujisawa concludes a theme that has been a concerning issue, circulating over and over again. This statement is well relevant in the novel, 1984, written by George Orwell; he concludes the paradoxical phrase “War is Peace” as an attempt to warn readers of the dangers of totalitarian government. This slogan is lived by and sworn by, and the essence of everything that the Party represents, having a double meaning; one for the Party and one for the people as a whole.

...Culture Diversity in Criminal Justice Elaine Ramon CJA/344 November 15, 2011 Sherry Caperton Culture Diversity in Criminal Justice Culture diversity is one of the many issues facing the criminal justice department, including police departments. Culture diversity is important to get over because of the cultural and religious differences it brings. Socializing and studying cultural diversity brings about a better understanding. The more we understand other cultures and religions, the more tolerant we become. Throughout history in law enforcement all policemen were white, and especially no police women. Before the 1960s police departments were guilty of employment discrimination by not hiring minorities and women. Police departments also required applicants to be a certain height to keep minorities from applying and didn’t hire nonwhites (cliffnotes.com, 2011). One of the first African Americans to be hired in the United States as police officer was in Jackson Tennessee in 1960. When James Cherry was hired as a police he was sure he would not be welcomed by the white community, but instead he was rejected by the black community. Although James Cherry was a police officer he still had to follow the segregation rules (Morris, 2003). The first woman police officer was discovered to be in Chicago. According to Feminist Majority Foundation women were often hired to protect and supervise other women and juveniles. In 1893 Mary Owens was the first woman to be hired by the Chicago...

Development on the other hand refers to the desired positive change that is aimed at improving the socio-economic, political and cultural situation of a society, or nation at large.
