" identity crisis - if war and peace met accidentially "

That´s my second comic strip.
Technically it´s Quite simple, but the thought behind it is quite complex...
We were discussing the term "peace" in politics lesson today. I had several arguments with my classmates and even with my teacher. It sometimes even became a bit impolite, but still funny...:aww:

Is peace really the absence of war?
What about the terms "negative peace" and "positive peace"?
"Negative peace" means that there´s no war. However that does not mean that people live in peace. Just have a look at segregation or unequalities between the sexes.
"Positive peace" means a total absence of structural violence in any sense: The guarantee of peace, rights and equality.


I hope you like this little conversation...

I have to say that war isn´t that polite.
I like peace better. It´s friendly.

:hug:

I cried because I had no shoes.
Then I met a man who had no class.

It was really discouraging to be one of the two students who think that peace is possible (out of 25!!!) ...I became so freaking angry.
:icondobbyknits:
:jawdrop: That is *very* worrisome. With that kind of thinking... :sadangel: it doesn't seem very likely, does it?

:(

I hope and pray that there are more people like you and that one other classmate than there happen to be in your class.

It reminds me of the Christmas song that John Lennon and Yoko Ono recorded so very long ago:
"War is over...
     if you want it."

I love the symbology of this, how you made war an unruly and violent looking black blotch, while peace was a graceful figure, clothed in white.

but it's also very ironic, is it really always peaceful if there is no war?

I found an island in your arms,
A country in your eyes,
Arms that chained us, eyes that lied.
Break on through to the other side.

I love it! I would say though that neither is the absence of the other, in that it is possible to have neither peace nor war; that peace is greater than the absence of war. (And war is the pursuit of conflict against an enemy, so it isn't the absence of peace...)

wow ich find das ne ziemlich geniale idee.. vor allem die simple umsetzung macht es eigentlich noch spannender. Ich finds auch shcön gemacht.. die struktur des papiers macht eine ganze menge aus.. weils deshalb fertig und ganz wirkt.. auf weißem papier würde es unfertig wirken
also insgesamt find ich auch die darstellung von krieg und frieden gut.. hach einfach super
