What Is the “New Cold War,” and How Can We Choose Peace Instead

Posted on by

By Dee Knight, Have you ever had a battle with a companion and, after that, halted talking to them for a long time? Possibly you didn’t shout or hit, but there was still pressure. You might have given them mean looks or talked behind their back. That kind of quiet fight is a lot like what’s called a Cold War.

 

A long time ago, the United States and a country called the Soviet Union (now mostly Russia) were in a Cold War. They didn’t fight with bombs or soldiers. Instead, they were both scared of each other. They built lots of weapons and tried to show who was stronger. People all around the world felt worried. The Cold War lasted for many years.

 

Now, some people say we are in a “New Cold War.” But what does that mean? And what can we do about it?

 

What Is the New Cold War?

 

The New Cold War is kind of like the old one. This time, it’s mostly between the United States, Russia, and China. These countries don’t want to fight directly. But they are acting like enemies. They spy on each other, build more weapons, and don’t trust one another. Sometimes, they argue about who should be in charge in places like Ukraine, Taiwan, or the Middle East.

 

The news talks about these things a lot. Grown-ups argue about who is right or wrong. But the truth is, when big countries fight, whether it’s a real war or a Cold War, regular people like you and me get hurt.

 

Who Gets Hurt?

 

When countries fight, kids can’t go to school. Families lose their homes. People don’t have enough food or clean water. Soldiers fight and die. Sometimes, even people far away feel the pain, like when food or gas prices go up.

 

War, even a cold war, hurts everyone.

 

But here’s the good news: we can choose peace. We don’t have to follow the same path of fear, hate, and fighting. We can do something better.

 

What Can We Do?

 

Indeed, on the off chance that you’re a fair kid, you’ll be able to offer assistance to construct peace. Here are some ways:

  •  Learn About Others:

 

Read stories from kids in other countries. Try to understand their lives. You’ll see that most people, no matter where they live, want the same things:

cherish, security, nourishment, and fun.

  •  Be Kind to Everybody:

 

Indeed, in case somebody looks or talks in an unexpected way, treat them with benevolence. Companionship is the most perfect way to halt abhorrence. Some time recently, it began.

  •  Inquiry Questions:

 

On the off chance that you hear something frightening on the news, ask a grown-up to clarify it. Attempt to get why individuals are disturbed. Asking questions is how we learn, not by being afraid.

  •  Share Peaceful Ideas:

 

Talk to your friends about peace. Write stories or draw pictures showing people getting along. Your voice matters!

 

5) Talk Up for Decency:

 

If you see somebody being treated unreasonably, say something. Peace starts with justice. If everyone is treated fairly, there’s less reason to fight.

 

What Grown-Ups Can Do

 

Grown-ups have more power to change big things. They can vote, talk to leaders, and write letters. But they require offering assistance in recalling what things truly are. That’s where you come in.

 

Tell your guardians, instructors, and neighbors that peace is vital to you. Remind them that war isn’t the reply. Tell them that working together is better than fighting. They’ll listen, because you’re the future.

 

Building a Better Future

The New Cold War doesn’t have to stay cold or turn hot. We don’t have to let fear or anger grow. Able to make better choices.

 

Rather than building bombs, be ready to construct bridges, ways for individuals to get to each other. Rather than sending troopers, we will send instructors, specialists, and builders. Rather than beginning battles, we will begin fellowships.

 

It all starts with little steps. One kind word. One question. One peaceful idea. When we all work together, we are able to halt the Unused Cold War and make a world where kids all over feel secure and upbeat.

 

Let’s Make Peace Prevalent

 

Peace isn’t boring. It’s energizing! It implies music, moving, sharing nourishment, and giggling with individuals from all over the world. It means building cool things like schools and play areas rather than weapons.

 

So let’s make peace prevalent! Let’s be the era that says “No” to war and “Yes” to fellowship, decency, and fun.

 

We can do it. We’re strong. We’re smart. And we care.

 

Let’s choose peace, together.
