Peace is another faction of human psychology. When one expresses peaceful behavior, then it signifies that he/she is in a state of spiritual peace and has sufficient knowledge of peaceful qualities with proper endurance of staying clam at any situation.Well it may be defined as
the absence of violence and also the presence of states of mind and of society such as harmony, security accord, and mutual understanding. In order to better understand how to achieve peace on the global level, it can be marked as the absence of violent conflicts or wars between nations, states,
and communities. It is equally important for us to examine the personal attitudes, values, and knowledge that provide the basis for working toward peace making and keeping it.While almost all of us want peace and prefer to live and work in a peaceful situation, there are some who wants
to lead an anarchical life, since they are ignorant about the values of peace in their lives. The elements of peace must be explored and incorporated in the language we use in our discussions. Tolerance, understanding, empathy, cooperation, respect and gratitude are at the core of our peaceful
coexistence on earth, but each of us may interpret these concepts somewhat differently based on our social and cultural values, our life experiences, and our beliefs about the world.Students and the peers are the building blocks of each and every generation and hence they must be equipped
with various peaceful qualities such that they can carry this exclusive thought forward in the near future. For reflecting ideas, beliefs and concepts, children are encouraged to cooperate with peers to share information. Students are left to discuss, comment or decide about the solution to
the problems regarding unethical activities. Students are also invited to ask questions throughout the peace education classes.We are growing up in a world where the remedy of every problem; may it be political or racial or religious or otherwise, tends to be solved through means of violence
or unethical means. We have fallen prey to numerous World Wars, countless rebellions and mass massacres which ultimately leads to mass murders or genocide. These phenomenon have increased generation wise and now we are standing on the grounds of the 21st century. To maintain peace all over
the world, several nations have indulged in making peace treaties to maintain international relations among them. Well, a better solution to maintain peace at high grounds is peace education which is a bright and innovative step to equip the countrymen with sufficient knowledge and different
values of peace. It is a fact that peace education is one of the most planned processes to raise the learners ‘critical and psychic consciousness. Mostly peace educators believe that it provides students with a better understanding of their social, cultural as well as political contexts
while at the same time considering the possibilities for action and change.Therefore, in our paper we would like to discuss on why and how language is the core requirement for peace education at both academic and international level.
