"This Troubled World" by Eleanor Roosevelt is a book from the late 1930s that considers the world's big problems at that time. It looks at the worries and fights between countries that were happening then, before World War II. Roosevelt writes about how important it is for countries to talk to each other and understand each other so they can solve their problems peacefully. She thought that there should be a way to decide who was starting trouble and to stop disagreements from turning into wars. Roosevelt also believed that teaching people to be kind and understanding was key to making the world a more harmonious place. She urges everyone to be more loving and respectful, because she felt that real peace needs both international cooperation and a change in how people think about each other.
