PART ONE/ READING

Read the text carefully then do the activities.

Peace in the world has always stood
on a fragile balance. Since times immemorial, it has faced various dangers
which do not encourage the construction of a favourable environment for its
existence.

The main factor which acts against it is
linked with the economic and political interests that each nation pursues. As
all countries are animated with the same ambition which is to become wealthy
and powerful, they gradually build up an international context where
competition and incessant struggles dominate. The fact that the resources of
the planet are too limited to satisfy the increasing demands of all communities
in terms of food, clothes and other needs sometimes prepares the ground for
wars and armed conflicts.

Therefore, all efforts to protect
peace throughout the planet get insignificant in front of the strong desire of
human beings not only to keep alive but also to acquire better access to
material comfort whatever the price to pay for that. This attitude has often
created a climate of hostility and mistrust throughout every continent. The
result is that the gap separating nations has not ceased to widen and the
relations between them marked by violence, injustice and intolerance.
