Global peace; an indication of reformation if cultural aspect takes a solid hold on.

  Global Peace Index for this year indicates that "The results of the 2018 GIP find that the global level of peace has deteriorated by 0.27 % in the last year, marking the fourth successive year of deteriorations. Ninety-two countries deteriorated, while 71 countries improved."  

The report continues addressing the level of peacefulness retreated, "As a result of growing authoritarianism, unresolved conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, and increased political instability across the world."

I want to jump over these statements and take a deeper look into the real factors behind these conflicts, which many are found, like dehumanization, sectarianism, the plague of dominance, chauvinism ... etc. which lead those people to fight bloody battles. As I think, the attempt to tackle this isn´t taken advantage of significantly, ignoring the fact that global societies if managed wisely, could play a role to eliminate the so-called conflict phenomenon by strengthening cultural ties. How this occurs?

First of all, languages constitute a bridge to melting pot with the cultures of other nations, which is a strong way to incentify people to stand up and see the others from different perspectives. As the world's affairs are being interwoven more than ever in this technological era, globalizing cultures could be employed to get lots of societies out of the cycle of violence-agitated incitement; as well as, stereotypes that enhance misconception.

To carry this out, media outlets should be employed to deviate from incitement or other hate/filled forms, as they are quite biased in the world over, especially the platforms of freelance media whose reporters transfer a totally different reality from societies where they report, as they only capture testimonies that don't necessarily represent the public opinion of the vast majority on certain issues. Therefore, the revolution of freelance reporters on media has taken a spacious place, which spills over into the well-known international media platforms. Not to mention, social media is skyrocketing in transferring the domestic knowledge out without considering that each society has both negativity and positivity in many matters, which this doesn't highlight that doesn't represent the vast majority, resulting in dehumanization within the receptive communities whose individuals don't try out exploring the facts by their own eyes, either.

Therefore, expanding cultural exchange out and globalizing it to reach even remote communities can play a good role in restraining misconception towards other nations. The matter must not be responded with fighting to overcome these conflicts or instability, in general. 
In today's world, national boundaries should welcome diversity, as GIP also states that, "In the globalized world, the sources of many of these challenges are multidimensional, increasingly complex and span national borders. For this reason, finding solutions to these unprecedented challenges requires fundamentally new ways of thinking."

These ways of thinking should include strategies to gather cultural elites in all communities and agree on the process of global cooperation to spread out a message of understanding through learning the others' languages to achieve peace. Moreover, the success of this process can be achieved by exerting the efforts of the international organizations that are staunch tools to build on. 

"Without peace, it won't be possible to achieve the levels of trust, cooperation or inclusiveness necessary to solve these challenges, let alone empower the international institutions and organizations necessary to help address them." GIP

A big role is placed on government who must accept the reality of globalizing new cultures in their lands and set up projects for this. Undoubtedly, the conflict of identity and ideologies stand out to fight all kinds of such reformations for our global community; as we see authoritarian regimes vs. democratic regime, which put this process into a closed cycle eroding openness towards the world. This can be tackled with more initiatives to overcome fanaticism that has recently been dominating in the world, especially in Europe where the rise of populists led many governments to be ruled by them, who have anti-globalization agenda. This populist sensation is increasingly growing and reaching out almost all walks of social life.  
Of course, this leads people to dehumanizing others and despising their cultures. Therefore, the growing global community should work hard to hold off this by opening up more communication channels in order to bridge understanding.
