“Sustaining peace in the society is the biggest challenge for the modern world.” Discuss.

Answer:

Ans.

Peace is a state in which various elements function in harmonious relationship and grow without interference in each other’s activities.

At a societal level, peace is necessary for growth and development. Bringing in and sustaining peace in society demands many things in which the following are more important.

1.         Education of Peace:

Just as man learns to fight and go to war, he can also learn to live peacefully.

It is necessary to educate the public and particularly the young men and women to live in peace so that they may learn to look upon themselves as citizens to the world.

The teaching of Gandhi ji’s truth and non-violence are very much relevant nowadays to teach peace.

2.         Development of International Relations: The promoting conducive international relations, eliminating prejudices, stereotypes and discrimination will enhance international co-operation and people will get the opportunity of coming into contact with each other. Consequently, international objectives will be pursued and unity would improve.

3.         Social and Economic Welfare: Social and economic inequalities constitute the greatest single enemy of permanent peace. In most of the places, where war and conflict are taking places, poverty is very common. Therefore it is important that steps be taken up to bridge the gap between the ‘haves’ and ‘have nets’.
