W.I.L.D. week correct way to protest, promote peace
Published:
Thursday, April 17, 2003
As countries endure an unfortunate and stressful war, everyone from passers-by to figures of authority have a stance on the controversial subject.
Whether you are for, against or neutral to the war, everyone has a way of promoting their stance. The most popular way to promote a stance against the war is to protest. Signs, buttons and standing in groups in public places are among the most popular protests.
Here in the University Chronicle newsroom, as well as various other places, a common topic of discussion about those taking a stance against the war is that they should stop what they are doing and promote peace in other ways.
Among such ways is just plain coming to the realization that we are in war and there is nothing anyone can do about it now; support our country and our troops and wish the safest, quickest and most peaceful trip back home.
The most effective way of promoting peace is being educated. From there, people can rightfully take a stance and in the most peaceful way possible.
This isn't to say, however, that those protesting obtrusively aren't educated; they are not realizing, though, that there are better ways to promote peace and their stance on war other than standing outside with signs, buttons and other visual and vocal efforts.
W.I.L.D. week is this week and it's the most educated, peaceful effort one can make when taking a stance on anything. Those involved with, or attending, the events of W.I.L.D. week may not all have the same stances on all the different issues about the world. They are, however, making an altruistic effort to save the public by making sure they are aware of and educated on the various issues that affect their world daily.
No matter what your stance is on the war, abortion, poverty and other world issues, be sure to make an effort to be educated and/or educate. Also be sure to congratulate those around you for making an effort to spread and/or gain awareness. It is the most peaceful way to take a stance on any issue in this world.
