Current Briefing Activities
Your exploration of the History and Culture of Peace will take you through
many times and societies.
The Iriquios Nation in North America will be one example we study of
how people of different Nations, faced with on-going war, got together
and created a federation which lasted over 500 years and provided the
most important model for the shaping of the American Democratic Republic.
Many of the communities of people who shaped early America, such as the
Quakers and Menonites, will also be studied in this unit.
During our History of Peace study we will make a Timeline for the
study room.
Let us know where and when you
will begin your timeline. Leave your note here.
Peace is freedom
from war or hostility. Peace also implies a full stomach, a
roof to sleep under, educational opportunities, access to medicine,
and hope for the future.
It may seem as if world peace is unattainable, but you will
see triumph in the hungry person whose stomach was filled by
Mother Teresa, or the Vietnamese whose bombed village was rebuilt
by Buddhists.
Many peace organizations fit the true definition of a movement,
changing history, politics, and literature. Others may not have
had such a global impact, but deserve acknowledgement for their
struggle to bring peace to some small corner of the world.
