  • Hinduism, Tolerance, and Individuality

    1686 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Hinduism, people are born into their respective caste, determined by parentage. The four main castes are: Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (common people), or Shudras(servants). Each caste has its own duties to attend to, and each is expected to do so without regard to personal thought or choice. If duties are not attended to in the way befitting one’s caste, it is thought that the individual would suffer from bad karma. If an individual responds to situations in a way befitting of their caste, they are likewise rewarded with good karma. This insinuates an easy way to manipulate people into behaving in ways that they might not otherwise behave.

    1678 Words  | 4 Pages

    In a world that is being changed every minute by technology, the view of who and what people are, is changing just as quickly. In all of this change where is world peace? The world is a place of constant change and a large part of this change comes from the machine of war and the advance of technology. Some of humankind’s greatest innovations have come from the need to defend the rights and freedom of different people. Armed forces are not only used in the protection of others, but are also applied in an effort to rule over or eliminate what is perceived as weaker or inferior races. For centuries there has been conflict between tribes, countries and nations. If humankind continues to travel this path he/she will no longer be the controlling entity on this planet. In a famous quote Benjamin Franklin said “Even peace may be purchased at too high a price”. What this says is that any life lost in war is a price too high to pay. Over the time that mankind has been on this planet this price been paid time and time again to no avail? Wars are still being fought in many countries all over the world today. When will it end, when will there finally be World peace? Many things will need to change in order to achieve this noble goal. The goal of world peace is a possibility and may even happen in the near future, as more countries find freedom, self-government and become part of the global community. A global community that not only serves itself but also aids in stabilizing the world community. All these things are only part of what it takes to secure global peace. What will it take to achieve a true, lasting, stable peace?

    871 Words  | 2 Pages

    We all hear the word peace, but can we define the word peace? Sounds easy but is more difficult than that, we can’t just have a blunt answer. I believe my view of peace would be a Marxist and Realism view. Which is the control should be given to us and not government and realism which is to see the actual truth. I believe peace in our society should be as a negative peace with no violence and basically a pacifist type which would be no war against all means of violence. This is hard to see in our age of society, might not even be possible but I think it should be like this. I chose this definition because it best describes to me how the society I live in will best function without violence.
