The cessation of global conflict, though desired by many, is probably unattainable.
Three major obstacles to world peace are conflict over natural resources, the uneven
distribution of wealth, and the mass media.
Many countries whose economies depend on natural resources, such as minerals,
are conflict-ridden. Income from these resources is often pocketed by corrupt
politicians, which creates discontent and leads to instability in society. Consequently,
resource-rich areas are seized by rebel groups, who use the profits to fund bloody
military campaigns that lead to civil wars.
Wealth inequality is another obstacle to world peace. The vast majority of the
world's wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. This creates economic crises
and breeds fundamentalist values in the public, and some individuals join terrorist
organizations. The desperate economic situation of these people makes them feel
they have nothing to lose, and they commit acts of violence.
Finally, the mass media makes peace unachievable. By focusing inordinately on
violence and war, it desensitizes the public to conflict and also solidifies the idea that
global conflict is inevitable. The media also presents small extremist groups as
representing entire nations or religions, creating false conceptions that breed hostility.
A path to world peace could only be forged if the abovementioned issues were to
be successfully tackled. Unfortunately, conflict in resource-rich areas, uneven wealth
distribution, and the power of the mass media are too entrenched for change to be
foreseeable.
