Peace as dynamic reality

Peace as dynamic reality

Peace results from consciousness when we are mindful of our actions and of their impact on ourselves and on others. All walks of life are affected by peace and vice-versa. In order to be peaceful, our own basic needs of various kinds have to be fulfilled. For example, it cannot be imagined without physical health and wellbeing. It implies a positive attitude and desirable habits towards keeping oneself physically and mentally fit. Earlier, health used to mean the absence of disease but now it has taken on a more comprehensive meaning because the interrelationships between physical health and the other dimensions like mental, social and emotional wellbeing are part of the true meaning of health, that is, holistic health. Peace also depends on the external environment. Everyone at all times and in all places may not be able to maintain such a perfect state of peace within or outside. Yet, if we aspire to attain peace, we must voluntarily and continuously strive at the personal and social levels to maintain peace. We cannot claim to be peaceful within and with others all the time due to our needs, which are recurrent and changing. Our desires, needs and choices keep us wanting more and more, as some of these get fulfilled. Mindful awareness of what we really need and what can be dispensed with, is an essential pre-requisite to the peace process. Hence, peace involves voluntary restraint of our desires, as well as, accommodation and acknowledgement of others’ needs, views and aspirations. Peace is practicing certain attitudes and values in life which provide restraint and inner strength, maintain healthy relationships with others. Practicing positivity and staying focused on developing one’s own potential and contributing to the common good is a hallmark of peace

More precisely, subjects are the parts into which learning can be divided. It is a field or sphere of knowledge in which the learner has chosen to specialise. It can sometimes be used synonymously with the term ‘discipline’ and can be referred to as a systematic instruction given to the students in a particular area of learning that follows a specific code of conduct. Humanist educators argue that school subjects are created to provide students with “intrinsically rewarding experiences” that contribute to the pursuit of self actualization, personal growth, and individual freedom . School subjects, therefore, need to be formulated according to the interest, attitudes, and developmental stages...
