Graduate Institute of Peace Studies

It is true that in the 21st century, all people including you and I are advanced by science and technology and most of the people believe that made us better lives because it made our world globally and eliminated boundaries among nations which made easier to increase materialism by international trade. The second cause is the reason that I don’t think people is living a better life. Because of its increase of materialism, the human dignity has fallen to the ground. People value materials than human rights, and this has been so long that we can easily see this world is a dehumanized society.
You already know the world is degrading and deep down in your heart, you also want peace. Everyone does! Many people are trying hard to make peace. I even saw a school in Korea that was established for the purpose of making peace. It is a graduate school of Kyung-Hee University, Graduate Institute of Peace Studies.

The school introduces itself:

Established to play a vital role in the creation of a new global society, one that will be spiritually beautiful, materially affluent and humanly rewarding-a society. The Institute's purpose is to educate and train able and peace-oriented international leaders for the future of mankind. The academic program is designed to meet future leadership demands by training students to be well-rounded leaders of the future with a focus on the following:

1. Understanding Human Nature and Societies

2. Building the Power of integrated Thinking

3. Pursuit of Practical Methods to Construct a New World Order

4. Nurturing Peace-oriented Human Nature

             I found this school amazing and was touched by the effort of human beings trying to make peace for the world. I hope many people will be touched by this also and try to put some effort on making world peace.
