1. In his essay, Where Do We Go From Here: Community or Chaos? Martin Luther King says that we mount a peace initiative. In order to transform the nuclear arms race into a peace race, it's going to take a lot of work. We need to find a way to combine as many countries as possible that also want world peace. First off, we can all try to make more organizations to inspire action for peace in our world such as the "IPI Core Program." This program stands for International Peace Initiativesm which is "a global network of individuals and organizations seeking innovative and alternative means of overcoming the devastation of disease, conflict, and poverty in the world today." Also, we can get schools to teach students how important world peace is so that they can teach the next generation the same thing. It is not going to be an easy accomplishment, but if our country tries to gather as many countries together to work together, we may have a chance for a better future!

2. Martin Luther King talks about "bridging our gulf between our scientific progress and our moral progress." The two realms he talks about are the spiritual ends expressed in art, literature, morals and religion, and complex devices, techniques, mechanism, and instrumentalities. As a nation, we can somehow balance our scientific and technological abundance with living a moral and spiritual life. There are many technological things that have been invented that have affected our life. For example, video games have inflluenced kids to use guns and knives as toys. People use ipods to listen to songs that are racist, graphic, and discriminating. More people should take their kids to church instead of letting them get into things that will get them into trouble.

I hadn't heard of IPI....sounds like a good organization. Yes, it is indeed about the balance of science and the spiritual. Does the spiritual always have to be about church or can it be about keeping one's life moral and ethical. There are a lot of atheists around who are good people. Nice post.
