Peace is elusive. Many strive to achieve peace. Five orientations or strategies to achieve peace are highlighted to provide every peace-maker a choice that fits his or her preferences and levels of commitment. Peace is widely envisioned as a state of absence of hostilities between nations. Many countries trade and have exchanges that are mutually beneficial. Treaties or mutual understandings allow for resolution of disputes. Martin Luther King gave a Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech on December 10, 1964 in Oslo, Norway. He accepted the Nobel Prize for Peace while millions of people were engaged in a creative battle to end the "long night of racial injustice" to establish a "reign of freedom and a rule of justice."
