"What is the role of conflict in peace?" Consider this question and write an approximately 250-
word response. American Literature is full of conflict because it chronicles the history of the
United States through independence from Britain, Native Americans and European settlers
sharing a vast land, and emerging ideas of leat creates a national identity, whether it's religious,
political or something else entirely (Not to mention the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the
Civil Rights era of the 1960s.)
Feel free to write openly and without regard to how many paragraphs you should have, whether
there should be an introduction or conclusion, or even how well you understand the question. If it
helps to write from a historical viewpoint, do it, if it helps to write from a personal point of view
(including the use of "I,” do it.)

Peace and conflict studies is a social science field that identifies and analyzes violent and nonviolent behaviours as well as the structural mechanisms attending conflicts (including social conflicts), with a view towards understanding those processes which lead to a more desirable human condition.[1] A variation on this, peace studies (irenology), is an interdisciplinary effort aiming at the prevention, de-escalation, and solution of conflicts by peaceful means, thereby seeking "victory" for all parties involved in the conflict.

This social science is in contrast to military studies, which has as its aim on the efficient attainment of victory in conflicts, primarily by violent means to the satisfaction of one or more, but not all, parties involved. Disciplines involved may include philosophy, political science, geography, economics, psychology, sociology, international relations, history, anthropology, religious studies, and gender studies, as well as a variety of others. Relevant sub-disciplines of such fields, such as peace economics, may be regarded as belonging to peace and conflict studies also.

Read this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence
"We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable
jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here.
We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our
common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and
correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore,
acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of
mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends."

Is this a good start to a story?
A little girl ducked in and through crowds. Her goal was to find food before the people she called VEPs (Very Experienced Police) could find her. She spotted bread hiding in a bag. A quick swipe and she ran. She heard the lady yelling behind her. Cars zoomed past her. She had gotten away! The police were no match for her, as she was a little speedy one. She laughed.
Steps behind her.
“Little s treet-roach!” a voice suddenly boomed, laughing hysterically.
No, she jinxed herself.
Then she heard the crackles and the whips. The police had whips. Electricity surged behind her. She had a huge scar on her back from one of those. She spotted the musty basement door, her escape. She sprinted and darted toward it. She knew there was another exit in this basement, as she had done this many times before. After staggering through the darkness a couple times, she finally found a sliver of light. She scurried towards it out the back, she sprinted to her home; an old car wreck next to an overfilled trash can. She hid in the car, panting. The AEPs ran past the alleyway, muttering to themselves. She sighed. At least her soul was not taken away by the police. At least, not yet. It was strange to her. The police controlled whether you kept your soul or not. No- your parents controlled it, if you had any of those. Many of the children had their souls sold and were on the other side of the wall that separated the soulless and the souled. You lived in the souled, if you were rich enough. The little girl was not rich at all, yet she still managed to survive with the souled. She chewed on her bread. She shivered at the thought of a VEP getting her soul.

Descending

From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris Once upon a time, when I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea. "It is empty," they said, "but you can easily furnish it." Empty! Yes, thank Heaven! Furnish it? Heaven forbid! Its floors were bare, its walls were bare, its tables there were only two in the house were bare. There was nothing in the closets but books; nothing in the bureau drawers but the smell of clean, fresh wood; nothing in the kitchen but an oil stove, and a few a very few dishes; nothing in the attic but rafters and sunshine, and a view of the sea. After I had been there an hour there descended upon me a great peace, a sense of freedom, of in finite leisure. In the twilight I sat before the flickering embers of the open fire, and looked out through the open door to the sea, and asked myself, "Why?" Then the answer came: I was emancipated from things. There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship. There was nothing but a shelter, and outside, the fields and marshes, the shore and the sea. These did not have to be taken down and put up and arranged and dusted and cared for. They were not things at all, they were powers, presences. And so I rested. While the spell was still unbroken, I came away. For broken it would have been, I know, had I not fled first. Even in this refuge the enemy would have pursued me, found me out, encompassed me. If we could but free ourselves once for all, how simple life might become! One of my friends, who, with six young children and only one servant, keeps a spotless house and a soul serene, told me once how she did it. "My dear, once a month I give away every single thing in the house that we do not imperatively need. It sounds wasteful, but I don’t believe it really is. Sometimes Jeremiah mourns over missing old clothes, or back numbers of the magazines, but I tell him if he doesn’t want to be mated to a gibbering maniac he will let me do as I like." The old monks knew all this very well. One wonders sometimes how they got their power; but go up to Fiesole, and sit a while in one of those little, bare, white-walled cells, and you will begin to understand. If there were any spiritual force in one, it would have to come out there. I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the invading host of things, making fitful resistance, but without any real steadiness of purpose. Yet never do I wholly give up the struggle, and in my heart I cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea. Which three statements from the essay illustrate how Morris feels about things? Choose one answer from each group. Type the LETTER ONLY for each answer in the correct blank. Type A, B, or C for Blank 1. Empty! Yes, thank Heaven It sounds wasteful, but I don’t believe it really is I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. Type D, E, or F for Blank 2. I cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea. One wonders sometimes how they got their power Even in this refuge the enemy would have pursued me, found me out, encompassed me. Type G, H, or I for Blank 3.
