Personal or political wars may result ignorance in the human heart and result in inability to understand self and others. Furthermore, realities of life permeate and threaten peace in the world of youth as seen in the Devon School in A Separate Peace. War can hold strange parallels to sport as also in the Winter Carnival, and the atmosphere created can prevail in a time of war, along with the emotions, conflicts, and jealousy that can result…

    Kant’s vision for ‘perpetual peace’ as presented in his conditions and institutions contradicts modern notions of how perpetual peace should be achieved and hence his proposals are unlikely to be fully realised. Kant misjudged how his conditions, republican constitution, unarmed federation, cosmopolitan processes and the influence of nature would lead to eternal peace. His arguments are disproved by historical as well as recent political examples and thus his vision for achieving lasting peace can be regarded as immensely…

    “Does Peace Have a Chance?” written by John Horgan was published in Slate magazine in 2009 on the topic of war and human nature.

Although the author makes poor comparisons and lacks in some definitions, he successfully utilises narration and description to engage the audience, prove the credibility of both himself and his facts, and…
