John Lennon is a British celebrity who was one of the founding members of The Beatles. He is a singer, songwriter, author and most importantly a peace activist. Yoko Ono is a Japanese-American avant-garde artist and musician who met Lennon on business occation and married him a few years later. They were both very anti-war and conducted a peace demonstrations. The first which was in a hotel on their honeymoon in 1969 and the second one a hotel room in Canada. It was to promote peace and protest against violence. He did so by saying people should stay in bed and grow their hair so they won't be doing violent things else where. He claims no one ever gave peace a complete chance and believed in using non-violent ways to achieve is since using violence only promotes more violence. They gained many supporters globally as the story had worldwide media coverage.
It is a demonstration of the importance of us to start taking action and move towards peace is like a peace of art not meant to be just read directly. However i still think about the fact of the lethargy of peace. Can people be peaceful if they are doing something, such as work or trying to get something for themselves like food and money.
