Can social network support world peace?

Can social network support world peace?

This question, in reality, is a sum of many questions: can Web 2.0 promote real understanding among people? Will people decide to use technology to co-operate? Can automatic translation tools, socila bookmarks, news digging, etc. make communication easier?

A practical testbed for Web 2.0: can a site like http://www.mypacis.com/ , built as open source, integrated and localized social network platform, develop into a tool for peace?

Please reply to this question, your opinion can make a difference in identifying strenghts and weaknesses of Web 2.0 services at the service of peace and freedom.

THANKS!

Anything that promotes communication will help world peace. Without communication there can be no understanding. It is misunderstandings that cause the most disagreements and even wars.

Let us all strive for a greener/brighter future by helping to create a solid foundation for future generations to build upon, so we can hand them a beautiful world, filled with never ending awe and wonders!!

Where peoples differences and uniqueness are accepted, where we all live as one, helping one another so that we can all play our own mysteriously beautiful melodies in the never ending, awe inspiring, song of life :-)

I truly have faith in humanity and believe that someday our lives and the world in which we live will truly be transformed for the better.
Your idea is definitely good, and I did log on into your website, just wanted to know, will giving email info have a problem, as in...i dont know....anything...and also, how do u intend to really ''promote'' world peace through this site...just how would the whole process work ? Let me know.

Again, great idea, by linking people, you could definitely have some result, but ''how'' is what I was curious on...

good luck
No. Peace requires several factors.

1. A desire to cease hostilities.

2. A desire to stop judging others.

3. A desire to stop seeking revenge for current or past perceptions of injustice.

4. A desire to look at fairness from a different perspective.

Communication is only a tool that is only useful when these desires can be actualized. Technological communication carries the same problems.

1. The desire to be angry, hateful and hostile.

2. The desire to judge the actions and existence of others.

3. The desire to impose an artibitrary judgment of right and wrong.

4. The desire to consider fairness from the agrieved's perspective and not from all perspectives.
yes but having a common world language helps also to unite us as a species and once we're united we can finally find the closest thing to peace possible

but i agree that these are the first few steps
