Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream



Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

  • Do you think it's possible that mankind will ever be able to achieve this in reality?  Why or why not?


Remember, a good critical response explains your opinions, uses ideas from the video, and makes connections to your own life and experience.

I don't think this can't be achieved because there are wars over everything and is somebody won't sign the paper they might start a war or fight over that.

I do not think mankind will be able to see it because I don't think people would want to go outside when people are holding swords and guns and I dont think that kind of dream would become true I don't know if people would want their friends and family dieing.

No I don't think this could happen because no matter what people want, there will always be a place where they wil fight for peace and thats just how it is. People can dream about that happening but I don't think it's actually possible.

I think it's not possible because people are to absest with more money and land and everything that no one is ready to actually give some of there land for there to be peace on earth.

Yes I do think that it is possible for the world to stop war and put our differences a side and stop attacking eachother. And if they don't cannad has the best army.

I don't think that mankind will be able to achieve this goal, because there will always be unhappy people no matter where in the world you are, there will always be countries unhappy with other countries and wanting to fight each other.

I think it is possible for there to be a world without war, but like everybody always says, nobody is perfect. There will always be those people who are greedy, almost everybody is. Just look at big name chocolate companies. They buy chocolate from low priced coacoa farms that have children slaves, or all those rich people who have a ton of money, but don't donate. All I think they should do is at least try.

I don't think they ever will because war is kind of a part of life flr people to have free land and rights. People can dream it and it might come true in some countries but in others it's kinda of impossible with out people having there own rights in there own country. Like Russia and Ukraine are at war because they don't have there own rights.

I know that war all over will not end it is a part of the world I hade some family members in the British navy for a little while a go but he is back and no my family is safe and sound.

Moyo said...

No i don't think it would happen because no matter what people do there is never going to be peace in this world,people always want to have the biggest land in the country so there fight for it.

To me if we ever do agree to put a stop to war that decision won't be made by a governor or president, or by any system of government. If only a hundred people out of a several billion make a decision to put an end to war then that won't be the world putting an end to war. That's why it is possible, but only if we all agree.

I don't think this could ever happen it's the hard reality it's the way humans have evolved think about ever war gave us new inventions phones, rare materials founded on the battlefield,U.S, all these inventions came from war. It is also the human nature we are violent creatures we like or not, even a pacifist can be violent.

We don't beleive we could have a world without war, because so many people have died senselessly already. World leaders cannot agree to live peacefully.

Kaitlin said...

I don't think this can be achieved in reality because some countries will always have enemies that they can't agree with and if they had to sign something to end all wars they might argue over that and start another war which other countries will participate in.

Marisa said...

I think it is possible for there to be a world without any wars,like most people say that nobody is perfect nobody can ever be perfect. Look there are some people that are greedy. There are some chocolate companies that buy cocoa beans form low priced cocoa farms that have children slaves, all the rich people have a lot of money but they don't donate. I think they should at least try just once.
