Why is peace important!! • To develop respectful relations • Teaching students that peace starts with the individual • Building self esteem • Taking control of situations • We live in a world where conflict and violence continues to erupt. Because of the increased access to technology and through the media we are often overwhelmed by the images of war. Sadly their are many who have had firsthand experiences of these conflicts. Peace is important because without it we risk destroying the only world we have, we risk countries hating each other, international trade ceasing and many more wars breaking out. If we can lean learn to reject violence, endeavour to prevent conflicts by addressing the root causes and aim to solve problems through diologue and negotiation:and if we can learn the skills needed to have peaceful relationships we will increase the liklihood of peace occuring in the wider world in the future.
