World Peace is a global challenge. The number of agents (companies, causes, charities, etc) that are working towards World Peace is not as big as it should be. At the moment, there are various causes promoting a healthier, more peaceful world but their audience (the people they directly reach) is usually limited to the nearby area. For instance a charity started in Moscow will rarely ever be heard of in Fiji. What World Peace needs is a globally uniting agent; something that can reach beyond borders and reach an audience of whatever race or creed.
What better such agent can there be than Facebook?
“Peace on Facebook” is Facebook’s attempt to spread awareness about World Peace and unite people from all over the world.
Peace on Facebook contains some amazing features which can give hope to people who think that World Peace is merely a utopian concept. Let’s take the friendship statistics for instance. Facebook provides a chart which lists the friendship connection made between peoples from opposing sides of under-war regions, of religions, and of politics. Take a look:
The tab on the top can change the category. The increasing graph values all suggest that Facebook has been directly responsible for providing people with colliding views a medium to be friends on.
Peace on Facebook also realizes that the first step towards achieving any goal is to realize that the goal is not impossible. There’s a global survey that Peace on Facebook conducts which collects data and tells how many people from a particular region believe that World Peace is an achievable goal. As of right now, the data shows this:
See how the chart asks how we can grow the number of people who do have hope for the future. This is a question that makes the user actively think of ways to spread cheer and faith, and make people believe that the future holds good things for everybody.
Peace on Facebook also has a forum for voicing your opinion. This forum can serve as an excellent tool to hear what people from the other side have to say. If not that, then Facebook users can use this forum to simply leave a word of hope or a message of positivity. Here’s how the forums looks like:
Peace on Facebook is an excellent idea by Facebook and should be supported by all Facebook users. Given the global usage of this amazing social networking website, its success in achieving a level of World Peace is inevitable.
