what would it take to achieve world peace?

Answer 1

David Hume had an answer for this one. He speculated that the only thing that would unite the nations of this world would be an attack upon it from another world. This is paramount to saying that nothing will unite this world.

Answer 2

Because of Individualism, there would not be world peace. Would you really want a world where everyone was the same as everyone else, completely docile by nature? To achieve world peace would be impossible, unless of course every American Citizen gave up their own free will to become a drone.

Answer 3

Rules Needed for World Peace:

1. Nonviolence - No one has the right to kill anyone else. Groups of people have no more right to kill than individuals have. Governments have no right to kill anyone.
2. No Aggression - Lives and land are sacred. Nations have no right to invade another, kill the people or take their land.
3. Defense - A nation that has a non-repressive government has a right to defend itself from an invasion or revolution.
4. Guilt - The nation that initiates or supports an invasion, revolution or terrorism is the guilty party. If their army is on another nation's land they are the guilty party.

The best system for defense is collective defense.

... the United Nations ...

Peace Defense basic tenets:

1. No one has the right to kill for any reason except as immediately and unavoidably required to protect human life or national borders.
2 & 3. Adequate defensive forces, in combination with rule number 3, are necessary to prevent aggression and repel the invaders. A world mutual defense pact (as expressed in the U.N. Charter) and a firm resolve by all members to join together to repel aggression (against any nation that complies with rule number 1) are essential.
4. Citizens must withdraw support for any leader that violates rule number 1.
5. Capital punishment is to be replaced with permanent life imprisonments.

Answer 4

According to one theory I learned in Political Science, the division of two equally powerful world superpowers could acheive these ends because each power would be equally hesitant to attack eachother.

Another theory would be the Democratic Peace Theory, which notes that no two democratic states have ever gone to war with one another, thus, some kind of world democracy would achieve this reusult as well.

But aside from the theories, I just don't know.

Answer 5

In order to have world peace, you would need to have every country in the world stop threatening other countries, stop coveting the resources of other countries, accept different religious beliefs, and much more. Unfortunately that is never going to happen. World peace is a pipe dream that is not realistically achievable.

Answer 6

In the army, I was always told there is always one percent of people who will cause 90 percent of the trouble in order to benifit themselves.

This is very true in the world population. The solution is be rid of these people or neutralize them to the point where their behavior and schemes would hold no threat and tus not ruin it for the rest of us.

The other thing is gear our educational system on socializing people. How many peope you know how to peacefully get what they want without screaming, lying, stealing or any other type of anti social behavior? Transform the human beast into a noble human being and I think it would be a good start to lessening conflict.
The other thing is to keep a check on world human population. THe less people there are, the less wars result from competition over resources, plus less people means less people causing problems.

Answer 7

as soon as the guy next door starts his mower early Sunday
morning, the peace is disturbed. My girlfriend says,"If every
body is happy, someone is lying." Universal peace, sounds
like, rest in peace. NO WAR! that I march for. NO WAR!
except perhaps on a video game, fantasy, last century stuff
drop some nice people, instead of bombs, some food, drugs
communication devices, information, etc. I'm done for now.
PEACE in the WORLD, or the WORLD in PIECES

Answer 8

Governing bodies that have a vested interest in peaceful relations, such as those that would be employed in a purely free market system.

Any provider faced with competition and aiming to maximize profits will minimize risk through arbitration. Thus, you have a dependable and sustainable solution for peaceful relations.

Answer 9

You'd have to define "peace." It's in human nature to express opinion and feeling...if any sort of disagreement disrupts your vision of "peace," then you'll never see it.
If you mean declared military action of any sort, then you're out of luck, too.
The peace you seek lies within you. You control your actions and REactions, and be content with that. If others follow your example, that's gravy.

Answer 10

Based on my observations and life experiences? Probably nothing short of the complete annihilation of the human race.

But then........ Even the animals don't live together in peace and harmony. There are predators and prey. And the herbivores tend to destroy their own pasture lands before they move on........

I guess --all-- life would have to be eliminated.

Sounds like a plan ☺
