Hi, I am currently doing a literature paper and i have an opening sentence here.

Love; a word that symbolizes the actions and emotions of humans in harmony.

It is a fragment, how can I reword it to not be? Or is it ok that it is a fragment because of the semi colon?

Good evening.

What about,

"Love: a word that symbolizes the actions and emotions of humans in harmony. "

That should work.

Without seeing the context these sentences are in, I'm not sure how much help I can be.

"1- The desire of all humankind to live in peace and freedom; f or example...
2-Although people want to believe that all men are created equal, ..."

[Moved from]: "This year's math and physics classes..." - grammar

Is this sentence correct?

This year's math and physics classes were the detonators, but the process of me applying to the MIT began many years ago.

thank you for your help

This year's math and physics classes were the detonators, but the process(Do you mean the actual application process, or the desire to attend this institution? If the latter, you should change "process" to "fire": "...but the fire for me to attend MIT was lit many years ago.") of me applying to MIT began many years ago.

violence increases in our country day by day. <this fits here as a stand alone sentence.
if you have something else like, i want to stop the violence increase in our country day by day...then maybe the second? but stick with the violence increases~
