“Will you have peace, or war?” “I shall have war!”
War has been raged throughout history, from the dawn of early man
to today. From the desire of territory to religious ideology to the competition of power, the reasons for war are many. Is war and rivalry within the nature of man? I surely don’t want to believe
so. According to conflict theorists, wars are created to obtain resources by means of
force. If so, will there ever be peace? I believe wars are a fool’s game possibly
played by the greedy and arrogant. In such an age as today, I would think that those in
higher power would have a sense of rationality and logic to never come to the conclusion
that war is the only means necessary to achieve a solution. Surely there are ways to come
to resolution by means of rationality instead of force. Like children in a sandbox, it seems
logical to find ways in which everyone can share their toys and get along with
each other.
I strongly believe war should never be the answer; however, I did come up with
a justifiable reason in which wars should be necessary. I propose wars should only
be necessary if there is a tyrannical regime spreading its military power and
murdering innocent individuals. Such example can be seen throughout history, like Adolf Hitler in World War II. Such an action perhaps should be seen as necessary to restore peace and order.
