Over the centuries humanity dreamed to live in a lasting world peace. Being tired of wars, blooding conflicts and endless tensions, people began to propose different theories concerning the question of achieving the world peace. But what is the main idea of this concept? It is possible to say that it means freedom and happiness among and within all nations, their peaceful coexistence with the help of a planetary non-violence system of governance which prevents warfare. And nowadays a lot of theories, which aimed at brining peace in the world, exist and consequently there are a lot of supporters of this idea. But, in reality this concept is subjected to a sharp criticism by the people who believe that aggression and intolerance are rooted in human nature and there is nothing to be done to eliminate war. So, the question is that whether it's possible to achieve the world peace.

The main problem of this idea is that there is no a unified, common concept of it. Everyone has their own picture of it, their own opinion of how/ in what way it should be achieved/ materialized. I believe that war is not an innate part of human nature, and that this myth in fact prevents people from reaching for world peace. Besides, it is important to mention that lasting peace does not imply that the world has to be a utopia, or a perfect society. Lasting peace just means that all countries treat each other equally, no matter the religion, form of government, or size. In addition, I believe that a lasting peace can easily be achieved because a peace that is lasting does not have to be everlasting. As for me, a peace that lasts a few centuries can be considered lasting.

In conclusion I’d like to say that if all people work together to create a just system among us, lasting peace can and will be reached.
