- peace is freedom from civil disturbance (
- a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity
- harmony in personal relations
The Global Peace Index chart for internal conflicts, showing the countries defined as having 'no conflict' in dark green (IEP)
The image above I find to be inaccurate because the US constantly suffers from internal conflicts such as still prevalent acts of racial discrimination/the occasional Neo-Nazi/KKK Outbreak, the problem of many incoming migrants, school shootings and the granting of human rights. The Democrats and Republican politicians are always 'bashing' each other (I find it amusing).The US has not learnt as yet how to deal with such conflicts successfully.
I do agree with the point that possibly in the near future Brazil will encounter civil unrest, especially after such a devastating defeat at the FIFA World Cup 2014 in their home country and as the host. From my understanding, personal and shared knowledge, football is life in South and Central America. This will likely affect their economy and crime rates to an extent.
Personally, I do not think any country is fully at peace-free of disharmony. There will always be an opposing force, whether it be a sect, "terrorist"/radical or an idea. Is there such a thing as peace generally speaking?
