American University Commencement Address

“World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor, it requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement.” World peace would be easy for this nation. If certain countries were to end their disputes, it would be easier for disagreements to get settled. Disagreements were one of the causes that led certain countries to go to war with each other. If certain countries were to agree on things instead of disagree, then this cause wouldn’t lead to war. Alliances being broken, was another cause of countries going to war. Each country should get along, we are one nation that should be on the same mutual terms. It doesn’t mean that every country has to become close together, it just means that every country should at least be on the same terms with each other to end war or certain disputes from happening. As stated in the pledge of allegiance, we are, “One nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” If we are one nation, then each nation should find a way to turn things for the better and make things between each country work out so that we can end the fights and make our nation better.
