Peace Tree Research Paper
Every year the hospitals auxiliary board puts up this pretty tree next to my desk, the Tree of Peace. There are volunteers that set up next to it selling Christmas ornaments and with a purchase you get a tag to hang on the tree, your choice of tag could be “ In memory of” or “ In honor of” and there is a tree light celebration and with a few carols, and punch and cookies afterwards. It is a beautiful way to start the holiday season here and spread some holiday cheer. This year, I bought two, one in memory of my good pal Nicholas and one for my Dad. Merry early Christmas too you guys in heaven & I miss you every day. Your memory makes the peace tree all the more brighter.

    A Separate Peace Research Paper

    Friendship is a special bond between two people; a bond that depends on one important element, trust. The book A Separate Peace focuses on the relationship between two adolescent boys in prep school. Phineas and Gene had two completely different personalities. Phineas, athletic and adventurous, had a wild imagination, and never followed tradition. Gene, smart in academics, conservative, and hard working, would have preferred to follow the rules. It hardly seems that the two could become friends, being so different from each other; having little in common, what time could they possibly spend together? When Phineas persuaded Gene into biking to the beach with him, Gene thought of several reasons not to go, still he went with Phineas. Much of…

    Robert Peace Research Paper

    One of the strongest people’s aberration is that all of us were born equal, that there is no difference between us. There are millions of people still believe, that the baby which was born in Sudan amount the tents and destitution is equal to the baby that was born in Manhattan with mommy and daddy who is working on the Wall-street. They have equal rights to live, but is it the thing that makes us equal? Is it truly doesn’t matter who your parents are or in what place on the Earth you were born? The short and tragic life of Robert Peace demonstrates, that the environment where you were born affect greatly on your future life. In my opinion, since the day you were brought into life you get your ceiling - you can’t jump higher. You can’t run off your roots.…

    Analysis: The Sacralization Of Christmas

    Hey Virginia, there is more than just a Santa Claus. Nowadays, Americans have either forgotten or ignored Christmas traditions put in place over 1500 years ago. They would rather indulge in the gifts and shopping to please their family than sit back and enjoy the holiday. This new mindset has led Christmas, Hanukkah, and other seasonal festivals to lose their religious intent through the past centuries by the hands of both people and markets. The original purpose of Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, has been trampled and overshadowed by a marketeer’s interpretation of how to represent the holiday. Santa and snowmen have become the faces of Christmas, instead of the Son…

    Washington Park Research Paper

    Take a deep breath and picture this. You’re standing in the middle of a desert landscape. The sun is beating down on your back, and the only sound is that of a gentle breeze blowing from the North keeping you cool. The wind has a fascinating mineral smell that seems to calm the vast surroundings. You begin to look around at the scenery made from a strange red clay and dotted with small green bushes. The red soil rises into hills and far off in the distance there are elegant snow-capped mountains. As you are enjoying the peaceful view you see something from the corner of your eye. It’s a Mojave Desert Tortoise moseying along at his slow pace. In this small paradise, time seems to stand still. It brings a unique sense…

    Personal Narrative: Joining The Local American Legion

    I do thing like this because, it is the right thing to do. I give a lot of credit to the military for stressing community service. I of course chose the American Legion to help out because they support veterans which is very important to me but they also help others. This is a vital thing especially at this time of year when there are so many that need help. No matter which way you look at Christmas, form the religious aspect or more of secular, it is still about helping each other. Jesus was definitely a helper of poor and needy and Santa Claus represents that of…

    Tree Is Nice By Janice May Udry: Integrated Study

    We chose to do our integrated study plan project on nature as the season change. We felt this topic was appropriate because the children seemed really interested in the outdoors at the beginning of the semester. We split our main topic into three parts- animals, trees, and weather. I was in charge of the trees and implemented six different activities about trees throughout the semester. My outcomes for each activity were met. For my Literacy activity I read the book Tree Is Nice by Janice May Udry , after reading the book the children were able to learn why is the tree is important in our life. For the Math lesson plan the children were able to match trees with some shapes. For the Science lesson the children learn about animals…

    The Evil Oak Tree Research Paper

    “Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree”. This proverb from the country Ethiopia is not a very nice or light hearted proverb. It basically means that evil can come in unnoticed but if you wait long enough it will spread into something massive that can’t be stopped. This proverb has proven to be true in many places such as germany or in modern day islam with ISIS. This essay will prove that this proverb can still be true in modern times and in literature with using ISIS, Hitler, Stalin, and the Witch and Wizard series.…

    The Jungle Research Paper

    In Thomas Paine’s 1791 book Rights of Man, he paints an idyllic, almost naive sense of peace and cordiality throughout America. However, by the time one century has passed, corruption and social castes have inevitably settled over the country, ultimately disproving almost everything Paine had lauded America for. This is evidenced by Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel, The Jungle, and the Eric Schlosser’s 2003 book, Fast Food Nation.…

    Why Do Traditions Ruining Christmas?

    With all the traditions that come with this time of year, there is one in particular that my friends and I have not celebrated since we started having kids and the holidays became all about them (thanks for ruining Christmas, kids). Every year, after the Rockefeller Center tree went up, we would gather as many of us as we could and venture into New York City. Some years we had as many as forty people; friends of friends added to the crowd. Our tradition was to first go down to Greenwich Village for a few drinks then uptown to Rockefeller Center, fighting holiday crowds all along the way. Afterwards we would cross over 5th avenue and go into St. Patrick's Cathedral for the pageantry that was Christmas.…

The holiday season is a very special time of year filled with laughter, joy and anticipation. Children dream of having a gift to open, however many children of veterans experience the holidays without a gift or a nice Christmas dinner.…

    Reflection On Meals On Wheels

    I changed my service project to something that I did recently in girl scouts that I loved. For this project, my Girl Scout troop and I spent four meetings, a total of six hours, making ornaments for Alachua County Meals on Wheels. Meals on Wheels is an organization that provides meals for the elderly or people that are unable to access meals. In total we made 150 Christmas ornaments. The ornaments were given with meals during the month of December. The reason why I enjoyed this project was because I knew receiving a handmade ornament would give people who may be going through hard times, joy. For this project I was responsible for creating “pom-pom ornaments.” For this ornament, I took a Styrofoam ball and glued little pom-poms all around…

    Peace Building in West Pokot

    Peace and stability are significant components of development in all spheres across the globe. These necessitated the emergence and growth of peace building and conflict management efforts world over. However, conflict related challenges continue to threaten the survival and continued existence of many groups, communities, states and regions in the world. In Kenya, an analysis of West Pokot Sub-County reveals the existence of multiple intervention efforts by the Government and several stakeholders in peace building and conflict management. However, little has been achieved so far as a result of these efforts. This study therefore examined peace building and conflict management programs in West Pokot Sub-County within the Republic of Kenya, and the residents’ perceptions on the effectiveness of these programs in the Sub-County. Its justification was based on an argument that West Pokot conflicts have had far reaching consequences to the residents of this study area and country at large. This study further focused on the Pokot-Turkana conflicts and the subsequent peace building and conflict management initiatives in the area. Based on the outcome of this study, there were several peace building and conflict management programs in West Pokot Sub-County, many of which were carried out concurrently. Disarmament program was found to be unpopular with majority of respondents expressing disapproval due to its involvement of force and brutality, while the peace committee model was highly rated with most of the respondents approving it as largely inclusive. In conclusion, the Government should adopt a wholistic approach that incorporates all approaches and stakeholders, especially the local communities. In addition, the Government should also address social issues that escalate conflicts.…

    PEACE BUILDING PROCESS

    Conflict refers to the state of opposition, disagreement or incompatibility between two or more people which is sometimes characterized by physical violence. Conflict occur in different forms such as boundary and territorial conflicts, civil wars and internal conflicts having international repercussions, succession conflicts in territories decolonized and political ideological conflicts. In the other hand post conflict is the situation in which open warfare has come to an end. Such situation remains tense for years and can easily relapse into large scale violence. Peace building describes interventions that are designed to prevent the start of violent conflict by creating sustainable peace. This start before conflict starts or it ends. Post conflict peace building means action to identify and support structures which will tend to strengthen and solidify peace in order to avoid relapse into conflict. Peace building process takes different dimensions according to scholars. According to Barnett et al. post peace building process follows three dimensions that is stabilizing post conflict zone; restoring state institutions and dealing with social and economic issues.…
