Exploring Paths to World Peace: Government Responses and the Role of Truth and Reconciliation Commissions

This senior project in 2011 by Kenneth King delves into the complex topic of world peace, focusing on government actions and the impact of Truth and Reconciliation Commissions. The main emphasis is on whether governments play a positive or negative role in achieving peace. The project evaluates the effectiveness of Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, highlighting their controversial nature and mixed results. Inspired by these commissions, the project features an Apology Booth with Christianity as a focal point. Reflecting on the project, it achieved minor success but received positive feedback, suggesting the potential for greater impact through enhanced advertising and incorporating discussions on longevity and future developments.
