However, while these movies, games, and pictures focused primarily on peace and justice, it goes without saying that peace and justice are not really bizarre or strange perceptions to any of us. We, as humans, already know how to allow peace to manifest itself in our lives. Really, it's more the question of whether or not we allow the elements of peace and justice to do so. The Peace and Justice Retreat focused not on problems in the world and how to solve these problems, but rather how you as an individual can live your life in a peaceful manner.
In the end, the retreat accomplished its goals of providing a dialogue for peace and justice by the nature of the retreat itself. The simple existence of the Peace and Justice retreat proved itself by the number of participants whom each not only poured themselves into the ideologies of peace, but poured their souls into the ideology of peace as well. If there is enough student interest in another Peace and Justice retreat sometime next semester, the Peace and Justice Department team will consider doing so. However, until then, you can expect another retreat in October 2009! See you all there!
