Lets Work for World Peace :: Graduate College Admissions Essays

Lets Work for World Peace   In conducting research for an essay that I am writing on inferential approaches to the problems of war and peace, I read a short, notwithstanding thought-provoking fable by an unknown author. I would like to share that story with you, as advantageously as my idea as a possible solution for world peace.   Tell me the weight of a snowflake, a robin asked a wild dove. zipper more than nothing, was the answer. In that case I must tell you a marvelous story, the robin said. I sat on the branch of a fir, fast to its trunk, when it began to snow --not heavily, not in a raging blizzard, no, just like in a dream, without all violence. Since I didnt have anything better to do, I counted the snowflakes cave in on the twigs and needles of my branch. Their number was exactly 3,741,952. When the next snowflake dropped onto the branch -- nothing more than nothing, as you say --the branch broke off. Having said that the robin flew away. The dove, since No ahs clipping as authority on the matter, thought for awhile and finally said to herself Perhaps there is only one persons voice lacking for peace to amount to the world.   In contrast to the several books I read for my research that detailed the cost and carnage of war, this one simple story moved me to want to lead my voice for world peace and to think that whitethornbe one person can make a difference for peace to come to the world.   My generation may well be the generation that brings total destruction or total peace to the world. Therefore, the United Nations should think about working together with government and educational cabinet members to put together a unified educational program in the schools of every country in the world to teach constructive approaches to solution conflicts peacefully within the family, school, and community environments.   As a student in public schools, I have learned much about the military, nuclear weapons, and war, but very littl e about peace. Through special program, I have had the opportunity to Send a Mouse to College, Jump Rope For Heart, Prevent Aids, bring back The Environment, Just Say No to Drugs, Tell Someone About Abuse, and be a Student Against Drunk Driving. However, I have yet to be offered any kind of compressive and educational program promoting world peace.
