 [206]   [2013-2 B] Can world peace ever be achieved?
Throughout world history, people fought with each other and killed one another. Even in today's world, there are always wars being waged in some parts of the globe, and terrorist attacks threaten us anytime all over the world. Considering the fact, I hate to say this, but it is impossible to achieve world peace.
 
First, people are arrogant and greedy in nature, and it is very difficult to make a compromise to be equal to all. On an individual level, we all want to get richer and have a better life. In order to achieve the goal, we must have to compete with others. In order to go ahead of others, we have to beat them in some way or other. In this sense, completion, or fight, is commonplace in human society, and it is part of our instinct which actually has helped build human civilization as it is today.
 
Second, countries around the world are so different from each other that they hardly get along. For example, some believe in one religion and others believe another, which often causes conflicts. Throughout history, many people fought because of difference in religion, and many were killed due to religious conflicts. Also, just like people, or individuals, one country wants to be better, richer, and stronger than another, and in order to achieve the goal again, they invade other countries to expand their territory or to obtain more resources.
 
For these reasons, I believe world peace could NOT ever be achieved. Nevertheless, there are a lot of lessons we must learn from history. Although world peace is not achievable, we must make the best effort to reduce conflicts with others and try to make compromises as best we can.
