Idea projektu

The problem we are facing on poor rejoin of veterans with their families peacefully and abuse of their life after combat. This project aims to solve the core problem by giving solutions to post-traumatic stress disorder using the recovery process and creating different spatial feelings.
Veterans are once upon a time they are soldiers who have experienced of a particular activity in the defense force and majorly they have experienced in war (battle) before. The term "veteran"
means a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable. They are who come back from the campaign. so, most veterans when they come back will be wounded, disabled, lose their previous positive personality, and experience post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD).
The primary cause for these problems is participating in war, war is an intense armed conflict between states, governments, societies, or paramilitaries groups such as mercenaries, insurgents, and militaries. When war happens, the soldiers have duties to participate in war for the reason of bringing peace.
According to this study, the core problem for driving war is people (the leader, society, groups, etc.) having negative egos so, when peoples have the behavior (character) of a negative ego they probably come into conflict.
The project mainly gives a solution to war-driven negative ego and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment or recovery center for soldiers who have experienced trauma or PTSD.
In the case of negative ego, the study indicates that when peoples (societies, leaders, diplomates, etc..) have to experience the bad feeling of the outcome of war they generate fear in their minds,
experience how war is bad, and also, they see on the shoe of soldiers. In the project, the fear generates space makes people feel fear of war and think of soldiers and immediately they ignore the concept of selfish “I” and think for others. Through this process, the probability of happening
war will be minimized. So, if war minimizes soldiers were minimized from participating in war, then at that time it is a little bit that soldiers experience a traumatic event that leads to PTSD.
In other cases, war will be mandatory for protecting the sovereignty, keeping the peace, etc. when such problems happen soldiers were active or participated in the war, this means they experience negative activities that harm their minds at that time they re-experience trauma and then translate to PTSD. So, this project gives a solution for PTSD for the soldiers who experience PTSD through the process of therapeutically treatment in the space which gives a healing feeling to their minds for
the sake of treatment by recovering their past image.
Finally, this project gives a solution by treating PTSD and creating fear feeling on war driving effect, then the veterans rejoin their loved ones peacefully and will be productive.
