Talking Peace: A Vision for the Next Generation

Rating:
Summary: informative
Review: Jimmy Carter is able to bring the world's current issues to the youth of America in Talking Peace. His smooth flowing, usage of word is simple to comprehend and easy to follow. As Carter writes he pulls from his own experience and does not lead the reader on that the topics being discussed are not acheivable. He is helping countries all over the world with personal contributions and foundations set up by him and his wife. The issues that confront people of the world today are not passive and demand attention. Carter suggests, "Talking Peace" will ease the strain and will produce answers and solutions.

Summary: Misunderstood Former President's Masterpiece of Hope
Review: Jimmy Carter's words allowed me to see the world from another angle. Too often I become trapped in the comforts of this country and I neglect to think about the millions of people who are suffering around the world. In the United States, we concern ourselves over minimal things, such as a surplus of taxes, while citizens of third world countries are wondering if there will be food today. Reading Talking Peace was a wake-up call for me. The mediation skills I learned from the unselfish Jimmy Carter will be useful in my future days of politics. Although mediation is not the major theme of the book, I gained knowledge from former President Carter's skill of being impartial in order to resolve conflicts with various countries of the world. I will remember former President Carter's words when I am in the Oval Office one day. Hopefully great changes will occur thanks to the concepts shared in this book.

Summary: Talking Peace
Review: This book is an awesome book because it not only mentions the various conflicts around the world that Americans are unaware of, but it goes into depth about struggles and the interventions by Jimmy Carter to solve these conflicts. This book is an eye-opener to the numerous freedoms and priveleges we often take for granted and that others strive for. Jimmy Carter discusses the attempts of organizations such as the Carter Center and the UNICEF to establish peace and suitable living conditions around the world. Jimmy Carter does not neglect the potential of young Americans and encourages them to do what they can do to make the world a better place for everyone.
