In an era where technological progress and social change occur at an amazing speed, it is shocking that wars continue to be a reality. War is a sad part of human history. Over time, wars have devastated the lives of millions of people and caused incalculable damage.
In this revolutionary era, a time of rapid progress and change, it might seem that war should be a relic of the past. However, wars continue to persist throughout the world. What is your personal opinion about the wars going on at the present time? Their role and reason!!! ~ curious about critical thinking.

Ok, i'm sorry about my mistake
Good question !
Purely my own opinion, but I think conflict is hard-wired into all forms of life on earth, and humans are no exception. When our predecessors were hunter-gatherers, conflict could be mitigated by the weaker tribe simply moving to a new hunting ground. But once we settled down and started farming, communities inevitably came into conflict over resources and land. The oldest defensive structure known to archaeology is a tower at Jericho, built around 8300 years ago, even before pottery came into use there.
As human populations grew, and as technology slowly needed more specialised materials, conflict only intensified. Almost all human conflicts, even up to the present day, are either an effort to secure control over more resources and land, or a pre-emptive effort for fear that someone is going to try to take your resources and land away from you.
So sadly, I think wars will not only persist, I think they will increase in frequency and intensity until (or unless) we learn to control our own population growth (or wars do it for us) or we learn to use and distribute resources effectively enough that no-one has reason to want to hoard them.
But although it is terrible to say, wars are not all bad. They can be a huge spur to technological improvement. Almost every invention came about as a result of war, being either directly derived from a military technology (e.g. anything made of bronze, iron or plastic), or developed to indirectly support or mitigate the effects of warfare (e.g. penicillin, most forms of surgery, writing instruments from pencils to biro's, etc). Additionally even without the developments in medicine due to warfare, wars are a method of natural selection and population control. All the people who died as a result of war would almost certainly have died of famine or plague due to over population instead. In most cases, that would be a far slower and worse way to die !
War is also a spur to social and governmental development; without war, Athens wouldn't have developed democracy and Rome wouldn't have developed the Republic. Societies wouldn't have needed to develop organisational structures at a higher level than the extended family.
So, awful as it might be, I believe war is a natural human behaviour that has both positive and negative aspects to it.
As for the claim that wars are a method of natural selection ~ I'm sorry, but i don't agree with that. It is true that wars lead to the death of some people, but it is difficult to say whether those people would have died anyway due to overpopulation or other factors. In general, through a war you produce a devastating impact on people and the environment. Wars lead to loss of human lives, injuries, trauma, destruction of property, a lot of pollution and last but not least... a lot of frustration that will persist over time ~ that frustration will generate other conflicts that will decimate other generations of human beings over time. Thank you very much for your opinion !PGM !LOOLZ !MEME
Look, for example, where the evolution of these wars caused by the primitive mentality of those warriors who had nothing else to do in life than destroy everything they found around them leads.

And the list can go on ~ mostly through these types of wars, evolution will be more and more destructive. Earth will look like the planet Mars if such primitive conflicts continue.

I'm actually sad about the wars that has been persistent for so long now and I just hope that we don't fight the third world war
I so much dislike war
It's about the insecurity that is offered around each of us (today is good, tomorrow may be worse or maybe better). It is extremely important to be aware of the reality around us. i'm against war, i don't like it and i hate the fact that many people seem to like to be spectators in front of such unfortunate events. I have always considered that with the passage of time, with the technological influences and the advance of science - in general with the freedom of knowledge and the fundamental rights of education... humanity will be more understanding with others on this planet but, as it seems those freedoms and benefits of this era that we were experiencing did not reach everyone. Unfortunately there are still many people who have the habit of behaving in a rather primitive way. There is only one step left to the third world war - I hope that China, India and Turkey manage to stay in pacifist mode as they have done so far (at the moment they are the only countries that seem to try to sit on the sidelines and mediate these types of conflicts) !PGM !LOOLZ !MEME !HUG
