World Peace is achieveable

Pro mentioned that some kind of educational program would make it possible for a new generation to wage peace among themselves instead of war. It is theoretically sound, however not only does it require a lot of groundwork, it is also very costly, especially when one tries to do that for 7 billion people. One nation may not agree to this kind of program simply because they can't afford the cost. Unlike the US, most people in other nations have to pay to go to school, even public school. There is no guarantee that everyone can afford the costs of an educational program like this. There are more crimes and riots in poorer countries because these countries can't afford to educate their population. What about free education? US can afford to provide free education because they don't actually invest much on K-12 education. When it comes to education in grades K-12, out of 21 industrialized countries, US is ranked 19th in math, 16th in science, and last in advanced physics which is really bad compared to other industrialized countries. So what about the colleges? US college hold 8 out of 10 top schools in the world, the other 2 being in the UK. What's the cost of getting into these colleges? $50,000 as tuition fee, not including costs for housing. Making matters worse, they charge lots of money for you to live on campus. So in the end, you are paying at least $100,000 at year to go to these schools. Why are these schools so expensive? The US invests at least $1 trillion on colleges but not primary schools. In other words, for anyone to receive a good education on waging peace instead of war, one would have to invest thousands on the person. So the costs of doing that to 7 billion people would be more than the GDP of all countries combined. Let's talk about habit. Good habits are hard to gain and bad habits are easy to gain, and therefore, it is much easier to gain a habit of saying "ITS WAR!" than solving a dispute diplomatically. Another thing about habits is that its easy to lose a good habit but not easy to lose a bad habit. Therefore, for someone to not have a bad habit is almost impossible. And therefore, someone who reacts violently to situations will often stay that way, especially if that person is surrounded by other people who react violently. Society nowadays allows anyone to be nominated leader of a country. Even if they don't know how to do anything. In the US, you can be as dumb as you want, as long as your promise looks appealing, you could be president. However, a leader who doesn't know how to handle disputes will often try to enforce their ideas by war. To get rid of these bad leaders, we would actually need an intelligence test for leaders but in civilized society, that is considered discrimination. So leaders have advisers to help them govern their nation. But when leaders are arrogant or advisers are also ignorant, such as if an ignorant leader appoints his friends who may also be ignorant as his advisers, world peace might be crippled. So to guarantee world peace, 7 billion people would have to be educated Pro mentioned how the weapons industrial complex is not interested in the security of the nation but merely in making profits. This is true, however this kind of exploitation can also be applied for many other companies. This is often why many companies today have horrible costumer service. Like other companies, it is not easy to out the weapons industrial complex out of business. And therefore, the solution would not be to try to put the weapons industrial complex out of business. Banning open carry weapons does not address the military and therefore may not prevent a war nor would it put the weapons industrial complex out of business. If the weapons industrial complex can't make money out of the US people, they can make money simply by selling weapons to the US government and other countries. Also, the weapons industrial complex is not the greatest enemy to world peace. That greatest enemy is actually a human mind because only a human mind would think about misusing the weapons.
