Being the youth that we are, there are many things that we are left to be unknown of in this world called Earth, the past and the present that can soon be to come, colliding as one as none of us have done. In history, there are a lot of hidden messages, and meanings in the countless events that occurred that we may not have not even been aware of. Because of this let's go through a simple timeline, a timeline of events that tells a story, a lesson, and a journey through the pictures of the past, the events of the Cold War.

To be frank, conflicts are inevitable in our everyday society, even from the far past to the near future, there would be conflicts coming up left and right. At this point in our lives, everyone we see and know has been in a conflict one way or another, as now, it is part of our daily lives. Conflict on a small scale in our lives is used as a way of learning and rebuilding a new generation of relationships each time, learning from the last. But similarly to war, we are all human in fact, no matter how thoroughly we think things through there will always be something that we miss, just like how America tried its best to make resolutions to fit the Soviet Union as best as they could, but with the resources and information they had, it was true in itself to not uphold their part.

In general, it is a rare occurrence for something specific to happen twice, but something as general as conflicts or similar fights could happen a plethora of times in our lives. Sometimes we don't realize it but the more we live out this life of ours, the more we'll notice how we've already done this or already been here so to say, as time goes on it will be inevitable that somewhere in our lives we are to have the same old conflict that we had when we were young. Looking at the Space Race, it really isn't as competitive or agitated as in the Cold War, but learning from the past, the rockets and space expeditions we have now are nothing but for the benefit of the whole world itself, just like the International Space Station, this conflict turned into a form of work where everyone could work for a common cause instead of against each other.

Conflicts are born to be resolved, if a conflict goes on and on that's not even a conflict anymore, it's just a catastrophe. That aside conflicts can be resolved in numerous amount of ways, that above that, there are even ways to be able to prevent conflicts as a whole, which mainly is thinking about mutual interests, understanding, and agreements between two parties, but as we all know, conflict is indeed inevitable. But moving back to if conflicts can be resolved, it's as if there's a wall between two opinions, lobbing projectiles to the other side with no end in sight until one decides to tackle the situation head-on and break the wall separating these two opinions in order to come to a resolution with mutual agreement. Just like the Berlin wall, where the Soviet Union decided to block off the opinions and thoughts of all the people in Berlin until it was finally broken, where there was finally resolve and peace which ended this coldness of a Cold War.

As our own army of the youth, some actions we can take today to be a solution for the future is mainly of that to make sure to always take into consideration the opinions of not only yourself but other people. Just the extra thought helps us avoid useless conflict which we never know how could spiral out of control. In general, for us youthies, the best way to fight these conflicts is to spread awareness and support already known issues in our community, country, and even the world itself, support those and be a part of the cause. Just like the soldiers we see, despite the differences, we should act stewardly towards each other because nobody truly wants to fight, it's just a side-effect to standing for what you think is right, which is a good enough trait already on its own.

In scales such as WWI and the Cold war, it would be obvious that conflicts such as these are what must be prevented at all costs. Conflicts that cause people utter pain and destruction end up having a purely negative result for both parties in fact, but not all conflicts are like this. Regular conflicts in human society are generally positive, although some people don't see it that way, it's like shedding skin, where in order to let go of what's on the surface, there's a much more beautiful layer below the last. But in general, the lasting effect that conflict could have on society itself is generally poor as it leaves a scar on whoever is involved, just like in the Arms Race where they left a mark of terror as new weapons and similar were developed as the days went by. People say though that scars are a mark of overcoming your challenges, that throughout it you were strong and endured it all, but to be frank, that was just the inevitability of conflict.

To conclude, as we are still young, we have to build up our morals and be responsible for the responsibility that we have for the future. Looking at the past, we can see the countless struggles that our ancestors, of country or not, have gone through, and the weight that we carry along to live on their legacy. Despite being inevitable, there are ways in which we should live out in order to truly be off ourselves and our country. We shouldn't be harsh and we shouldn't be rash with our decisions and actions because as we all know the line, the snake will always bite back.
