essay on the power of unity in 500 words
Answers
In today’s times, where there is cut throat competition with every individual trying all his might and applying every method (fair or unfair) to reach the top, very few recognize the importance of the proverb, “Unity is Strength”. It has only become confined to motivational lectures and inspirational books. Very few people actually understand its importance and apply it in their lives. But those who do are actually more satisfied and content in every sphere of their life.
The proverb has been used at various places since centuries. It finds its origin in Dutch Republic where it was used for the first time. Presently, the national coat of the armed forces in Haiti and Bulgaria has this inscribed.
Belgium took this as their motto post the Revolution of 1830. Other countries that have used this proverb as their motto in the past include Greece, Netherlands, Canada, Georgia, South African Republic, Malaysia and United State
One of the famous stories explaining this proverb is that of a farmer and his sons. This farmer was very hard working. He toiled day and night to serve his family. He had four sons who always quarrelled with each other. The farmer was worried that if they continued to stand against each other people will easily take advantage of the situation.

Answer:
In order to get through anything big or small, we must unite. We live in an endless cycle of problem and despair, despair and solution, solution and action, and action and rebuilding. And then the cycle almost always starts up again, with more problems surfacing and more challenges to be dealt with. There are many things that get us through this neverending cycle; hope, the need to change, but most importantly, unity.
From a young age, we grow and develop in families. These families teach and nurture us. They prepare and support us. And eventually, we leave to test our independence in the real world. Unity is how we start, so it seems natural that it should be the key to an end to conflict.
After tragedy, we band together. When I lost a friend to a brain tumor, my remaining friends became more like siblings to me than mere friends. We chose unity and have become all the stronger because of it. The unity is what gets us through loss. After 9/11, the citizens of America felt shared loss and sorrow and a renewed Patriotism. We went through that together — that pain, that rebuilding, that renewed glad-to-be-an-American feeling, and that sense of comraderie and unity. Even in our literature this is apparent; when Harry Potter is called to fight Voldemort, his friends, peers, and any who have entered his life or Voldemort’s path come to keep evil at bay. And the outcome? Good ultimately triumphs over evil. Unity ultimately triumphs over division.
We look upon our differences too often. We are all different, inside and out. Our skin and hair, our background and race, our religion and morals keep us apart. We are segregated against, divided up, categorized, or discriminated against on the basis of…of what exactly? Differences? Intolerance? Tons of -Isms; sexism, racism, antisemitism. When it comes down to it, we are all mothers, fathers, children, siblings, scholars, laborers, and people just trying to make the best of life.
I believe in strength, I believe in standing up for what I believe in, but above all, I believe in the extroardinary power of unity.
