Canada has been the main reason why peacekeeping is even a thing, Canada 's role as a peacekeeper throughout the world began in the 50 's when Lester Pearson, Canada 's ambassador to the UN suggested that the organization might create a peace…

“Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time”(Lyndon B. Johnson). The United Nations was founded in 1945 by 51 different states including the United Kingdom. The UN was formed to unite the world and establish world peace. The UN formed the Security Council to take responsibility of world peace and security.

with extreme pain. According to Dr. Philip Nitscke from CNN news on november 27th, 2013, he wrote “a peaceful death is everybody 's right” (par.16). Basically, what this foundation is saying is that everyone has the right to die and with that, at peace. I believe this statement to be factual because I agree each person should have the right to end their suffering at their own discretion. I feel it is barbarrack to force people to suffer and linger through a painful end of life when there is a…

Then, out of nowhere, someone storms into your house waving a gun around and threatening to kill your family. What do you do? Do you grab a gun, or if you do not have one, do you storm the intruder and try to stop him from hurting your family?

to protect the people from atrocities inflicted by their own countrymen. Use of military force can be very costly in terms of casualties both civilian and of security forces. The benefits can be attributed to whether an intervention has restored peace, saved lives and provided long-term stability. Cost of intervention can be high and benefits minimum but by not intervening, countries may face even higher costs and risks due to spillover effects. The question should not be whether an…

Now that super-human AI seems plausible, some of us have become worried about safety regarding the future AI development. They typically come in two forms. The first concern is that due to our inability to understanding the technical issues involved in complex systems, an AI system may end up exhibiting behavior or achieving a goal much different than what the designer purported. If the capabilities of this system are super-human in most aspects, it may end up unintentionally being dangerous to…

The idea of peace is an ever changing concept that is influenced by the society of the time. In early ideas of peace, some philosophers concluded that peace is whatever God wills it to be and other believed that because peace is not something that is natural to humans and therefor peace is unattainable.
