Building Peace: Central Asia Institute

Peace is something that cannot just happen overnight. Greg Mortenson is one of those special people that dedicates there whole life to help other people. That is the only way that peace will ever come. It will take many people like Greg Mortenson to make a difference in the world. I think what he is doing is a great thing. I agree with him in that to bring about peace, you must start with education. This allows for children to learn a variety of concepts at an early age and can grow up with these concepts of learning and other cultures throughout their lives. Especially for women. When a child is born, he or she cannot tell the difference between male and female or doesn't know about segregation towards women. As the child grows up, these notions are all that the child is being taught. That is a bad way to start growing up.

Peace

When I think of peace, I think of people living and enjoying their lives without worrying about dangers that someone else can put on you. Peace is something that is rare in the world. However, during 9/11 peace was brought between everyone everyone on the United States. People from all kinds of different backgrounds, different colors, different origins came together to help each other. I love to play baseball; ever since I was 4 years old and when I think of peace, I think of me playing, without a care in the world. No matter what was bothering me or something that was bad that had happened, I could always enjoy a few hours of doing what I love with my friends. Not very many things brought me greater peace than that. When I think of peace I think of families and friends together, enjoying each others company and enjoying life. Some families are unfortunate to be in situations where peace may not exist in a family, but it is something that everyone should have and experience because it gives a sense of security that you will always have family and friends behind you in life.
