Woodstock was like a completely distant world from the one we know. All the trouble of the real world was erased of people's minds. There were no worries or remorses; only happiness. Even those who weren't "hippies" were caught into that powerful joy coming from the music and people alike. "It was a sea of humanity," Bobbi said. All around the nation, people came swarming into the streets and on their way to the green hills of Catskills country. Even today, those who experienced that once in a lifetime event called Woodstock, continue to remember that rainy yet sunny day of August 15, 1969 with vivid memory; reviving all of those emotions felt on that day just by looking at photos like the iconic one taken by Uzzle. In depth, Woodstock opened up the curtains of humanity's blissful emotions with love and music.
Would events such as Woodstock decrease wars and violence throughout the globe if done once again?

Woodstock definitely could decrease wars and violence throughout the globe if done again. There's nothing that brings people together more than great music, joy, and love. The only thing to think about though, is whether something like Woodstock happening again would be any different than celebrating new years? Would it be any more special than that?
