Review
Whenever you hear the word “peace,” do you immediately think of “war,” and men? To many people, “peace” is often an antonym to “war.” “Peace” events we see in the media often involve leaders of various nations shaking hands or signing peace treaties. Sometimes, United Nations envoys are shown diligently resolving conflicts among ethnic groups or nations. The envoys and leaders in those scenarios are usually men, as if they were the only ones who make peace after wars are started —- by men.
