And so the games begin!

Or something to that effect.

My name is Chris Dimock and, as one might infer from the title of the blog, I'm entering a class called Peace and Youth Culture. I personally... am very much disliking the fact that there is no way to automatically indent paragraphs. Thankfully doing so is fairly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Now where was I...? Ah. Yes. The reason I'm taking this class primarily for my writing. In fiction, conflicts are the way an authour can show the growth of a charactor and establish their beliefs. Therefore, a proper understanding of both conflict and the ways it is dealt with are vitally important.

Also, though I tend towards being a rather peaceful and even passive individual, being able to understand conflicts better is never a hinderance in attempting to end them in real life aswell. I'm not exactly what one would call 'influential' but I think this class will help me on an individual basis aswell.

On a much slightly less relevant note, I already have some fairly strong oppinions regarding peace and culture, however, I intend to savour the explanation of them until such a time as I discuss them in class.

... Of course all of this remains to be seen, as the class hasn't 'officially' started yet.
