What would the world be like if there was no war? If every person lived with peace in their hearts? What kind of impact would that have on the environment, both personal and global? While it’s hard to say what the future would look like if there was peace on earth, we do know that the world would be much different than it is today. People would undoubtedly live healthier, happier lives, and the way the earth functions might change completely with our absence of aggression and hostility. But how can we make peace possible in an unstable world?

Number 1: Keeping People Safe

The Secret to Making Everyone Happy and Safe is Education. By making sure everyone can read, write, and understand, you’re not only improving literacy rates in your country, but also ensuring children grow up with higher education—meaning that they’ll be able to work jobs that pay well. Having people go to school and getting more opportunities means they won’t be so desperate for money; making sure there are enough jobs available means citizens won’t have to turn to crime as often. It all adds up to one thing: peace.

Number 2: Building Trust with Citizens

When it comes to people’s emotional responses, trust is an important factor. People are more likely to respond positively to your call for action if they believe that you have their best interests at heart and that you share their same values. The challenge here is making sure that government initiatives and policies are in-line with citizens’ sense of fairness. It takes more than security checkpoints to create an atmosphere of safety and trust. It’s important to build relationships with citizens, letting them know you will look out for their best interests. It doesn’t hurt to ask what their needs are so you can ensure you provide services accordingly. When residents feel taken care of, they are less likely to make trouble in your community or be drawn into crime by others around them. A strong relationship between citizens and law enforcement creates a peaceful environment all round.

Number 3: Ensuring Justice Is Fair and Fairly Implemented

One of our most important national priorities should be ensuring that justice is fairly and equitably administered. It’s an uncomfortable fact that some people are unfairly targeted by law enforcement, but it happens. One way to ensure these individuals receive their due process is to require police officers to wear body cameras while on duty—but not just any kind of camera. We need police body cameras that are outfitted with facial recognition technology. Not only will such cameras deter police brutality, they’ll also help identify those who do commit crimes. And if we can reduce crime in America, there will be fewer victims of injustice. This would help create a more peaceful nation.

Number 4: Freedom of Speech and Press Should Not Be Threatened

Freedom of speech and press is one of our most fundamental rights. Without it, we can’t ensure that our government is acting in our best interests. Of course, we also want to foster an environment where each person’s ideas are respected and protected. In order to do so, we must protect their freedom to express those ideas as well. A free society can’t survive without both freedom of speech and freedom of press—they go hand-in-hand. If people aren’t able to speak freely about their views on issues or if journalists aren’t able to investigate them thoroughly, then we won’t be able to make good decisions on how to move forward. It may seem like something you shouldn’t have to worry about here in America (after all, isn’t everyone entitled to his or her own opinion?), but it happens more often than you might think—and censorship of any kind is something no country should allow within its borders.

Number 5: International Relations Are a Priority

Being involved in various global organizations not only gives you insight into diplomatic relations but also puts you in touch with professionals and stakeholders who can help advance your career. The more you know about other cultures, philosophies, and business practices, the better equipped you’ll be to build solid relationships at home and abroad. Being actively engaged in international affairs also has another benefit: It helps keep you alert to outside developments that could affect your company or industry. For example, did you know that China surpassed Japan as America’s largest trading partner in 2009? And did you realize how quickly India is developing economically? These are just two examples of trends that may have a significant impact on U.S. businesses over time—and being aware of them now can help ensure your company stays competitive down the road.

Number 6: Leaders should always put their citizens first, because they are the leaders’ number one job.

It is important to keep in mind that citizens are your number one priority. You need to always put them first, as you are ultimately responsible for their safety and well-being. Sometimes that may mean having to make difficult decisions, but being a leader means you must set aside your own interests at times for those of your people. If a country’s citizens aren’t safe or if they feel oppressed by their government, then it will be hard to have stability within that nation. A good leader knows how to balance his or her duties with his or her own needs while still keeping everything else in check. And remember: sometimes you have to do things that don’t feel right just because they are what is best for everyone involved; there isn’t always an easy answer when it comes to leading a country.

Section 7: Securing Free Education through All Stages of Life

In developed countries, education is compulsory for at least 9 years starting at age 6 or 7. In some countries, education is compulsory until people reach a certain age (e.g., 17 or 18). There are also many international organizations that have a focus on educational development, most notably UNESCO and UNICEF. Each country aims to provide free primary and secondary education to its citizens. The right to education has been recognized by some governments as a fundamental human right, and is included in Article 26 of both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Free public schools exist in some states in India, but there are often long queues with thousands of children attending them every day. Some children cannot attend school because their parents cannot afford fees or uniforms; others may be excluded because they live too far away from schools.

Section 8: Providing Employment Opportunities for Citizens at Home/Abroad & Promoting Small Businesses

As president, I will establish goals to help America’s youth acquire workplace skills and develop strong work ethics. Young people looking for employment opportunities must feel confident that their job applications will be viewed in an unbiased manner with equal opportunity for all. This is why I support legislation to prevent nepotism in hiring, especially in Congress and at Federal agencies. The appearance of favouritism discourages qualified individuals from serving our great nation. Domestic and international business opportunities will create job opportunities at home. A peaceful nation is one that allows its citizens to have jobs, and promotes small businesses through tax incentives.

Section 9: Foreign Aid Is Important When Appropriate (E.g.: Easing Foreign Debt)

In order to create peace, it is essential to address issues that nations face. If a country has high foreign debt, economic aid in the form of loans and/or donations can help them free up resources to spend on internal matters like improving infrastructure and building schools. While not every nation should receive foreign aid, those who do should be given an opportunity to become more stable before considering other options.

Section 10: Advocating For Climate Change Solutions to Protect Our Environment & All Life on This Planet

As humans, we must advocate for climate change solutions. We are one people, one world and one planet. The more connected we become to each other and all life on our planet, will increase peace in our hearts. To learn more about my thoughts and ideas on how to better advocate for climate change solutions, please read my personal profile or visit some of my blogs to view my blogs. I look forward to hearing from you! In peace & with love, Joanna (Wattles) Albertson ~~~ My vision is to build a peaceful society that works towards climate justice and environmental sustainability by educating children at an early age on ways they can make small changes at home to help preserve our environment while advocating for global actions as well. ~~~ My writing is primarily focused on what I feel is most important: educating children and adults alike about why it’s so important to protect our environment & stop global warming now.
