A short term commitment that I would commit to would be based on the smallest things, such as, smiling to people that cross my path, I think that is an act of amability and it can make a person feel good, special or maybe even make their day, and I would have that feeling that I made someone feel happy and made them forget about that thing that was bothering them, and just on simple smile can make someone forget the bad things.
For a long term commitment, I think working for a charity or opening some kind of shelter for eihter animals, homeless people, abused women, or orphans, can bring peace to a person because it would be something that you know it is right and its a kind thing to do for others and you can have that feeling of satisfaction of helping those people that are vulnerable, and feel good about yourself to know that they feel safe and that you somehow brought some piece into their troubled life and made them forget their struggles.

Inner Peace
Inner peace is when you feel that you have no worries, you don't have anything pending in your private or work life, when you do not have anything left to do but just relax, enjoy your own time and get both mentally and spiritually in peace. But at the same time be strong in mind to not let anything bring you down or streess you out. To stay in peace with yourself there are many things that you can do such as practicing yoga, meditating, or like in some religions praying can be quite helpful. In my opinion, if you are a person with a job that stresses you out and has a busy life, you have to find that little time that you can possibly have to relax, and maybe if it is desired practice another religion such as Buddhism or Hinduism, sice their traditions is to meditate, pray to find the peace you need and to know yourself and find out who you really are and what you want.

Op-Ed, Audience: English 1311 Students
There are many elements that prevent the world from having peace, for example, greed,
lack of morality, ignorance and the lack of education, and poverty, but the main problem is war,
the thought that everything can be or has to be solved with violence. Under this huge problem all
the above mentioned falls right under it. War prevents having peace in a nation or globally when
there is constant fighting about something that can be fixed in a less violent way, maybe with
words but not with weapons. Even people who live in war regions cannot be in peace because
they can’t live in a place where violent acts rule and therefore cannot live a stable life in any
single way.
In the case of México, the president declared war to all Mexican cartels and the war has
not stopped, there have been dramatic increases on the number of deaths. The government has not been able to win this war they declared and its citizens have to deal with the fear that every day they feel. The war in México has mainly have to do with the greed of each cartel’s leader(s) or Capos who want to control more regions and get rid of their rivals, but also we deal with the greed of some members of the Mexican government who are corrupted because they agree to help this cartel’s or accept bribes from this men just to have more money in their pockets. This people have no morals and could care less about what is wrong and right, and their ignorance is the cause of why many people are suffering every day. It is because of them that so many people have been victims of acts of violence, have witnessed an act of violence that hurts them their victims, their town, and their country. Many of this drug cartel members might not have any other options but to join them because they are poor and need money, but also some lack an education. A possible solution to end with this is if every person had a chance to have a better education and that way they could have better jobs, and somehow reduce the poverty levels, and not have people have the necessity to feel that they have to work on an illegal act, for example in this case drug trafficking to win fast and dirty money . Without an education we are nothing, but with an education we can change so many things that will help improve our world.
