Wars Are Like Tornadoes



This photo demonstrates how people in the world must work together to fight against wars. This image causes us to reflect on so many things that need mending in our world today, and one of those pending problems is war. Wars always end with a chaotic after effect. No matter how long they last, no matter how many countries are involved in it. Innocent humans die for misunderstandings of others, it’s unjust how many people have to suffer from wars. Peace is worth fighting for. And taking a stand against wars takes us one step closer to a world beholding peace.


Wars are cruel, soldiers fight for their country, but many aren’t even recognized for their actions. Confused new borns, awake to the booms of a bomb blast, crying for their mommy not knowing that their moms won’t be coming back. Wars are unjustice so many people receive the full blow of the war and lose their loved ones. During World War 2 17 million soldiers died from 6 years of war many who still have family with sleepless nights. And millions of civilians and families died from bomb attacks. Do you really think sacrificing such a huge amount of people is worth the fight? I certainly don’t and if you want to look further in to World War two you can click here.


Wars are like tornadoes that come across in the most unexpected times, and sweeps everything with them when it ends. But for many when the war ends it’s actually the beginning. After Japan were defeated in a war and left the country of Vietnam, the French tried to take over Vietnam again. At the end of this war, and after the French were kicked out of the country Vietnam was not the same. Vietnam was divided in to two parts, people believed in different things and they were having a war within themselves. Families also faced starvation or illnesses that they usually couldn’t overcome. This wasn’t the only affect the war had on Vietnam, the chemicals permanently destroyed the land. Many of the survivors also went insane, after the gruesome days they’ve been through. We don’t want this to live on, we should put a stop to it.


I am not the only one out there who believes that wars should come to an end. The people who lived through such terrible wars also took a stand. Such as the situation in World War 2, once the American civilians realized that the war was bad many started uprisings and took a stand. At the end after many uprisings and persuasions the government had to withdraw all the American soldiers back from Vietnam. See how powerful it could be? When so many individuals take a stand it can make a difference. So join us and take a stand against wars.



If we did not fight for peace then the world would suffer from so many casualties. Without peace the world would be a spinning sphere of chaos. This is inspirational because the world could come together and take a stand. Peace is inspirational because it creates a domino effect. When one follows peace everyone does.
