Is War Inevitable?

Is War Inevitable?

War has it's good points as well as bad points.

      

War was being fought for
 freedom and power.

     Some people say that war is inevitable.  They say this because as humans and like any living creature, we have the instincts to survive. Charles Darwin studied natural selection which created the belief of Darwinism, survival of the fittest. Humans would need to become strong and willing to protect themselves to survive. Conflicts between humans, usually countries, cause these wars as one side doesn't agree with the other or to fight for more due to greed or self defense. Wars are usually caused by the human instincts of wanting to be more powerful or to fight for existence. Even if war is not in every persons nature it will always be in the majority. War is everywhere on earth whether it comes to actual war or just conflict it will never vanish because part of human nature is to want power and control. War is the ultimate tool to obtain these goals, primarily over those who would resist. (4)

Andrew Bonar Law says that war isn't inevitable.

    While some say war is inevitable, others say the opposite. War is actually not inevitable because due to human nature, war is not in our genes. War is created based on their culture to decide how best to deal with other groups of people. Most people turn to war because they feel the need to protect those close to home. In addition to that, each society's values, size, resources, and so on decide whether they participate in war. (1)(2)(3)

    In my opinion, I think that war is not inevitable. I think this because we can always work things out. War is not necessary because we can always work things out with other countries. We can make peace treaties and compromise, and become good friends. War isn't necessary because it just leads people to get hurt and a lot of innocent people die because of wars. It also takes a great abundance of money for war and after wars, countries become poor and will eventually have to go to great lengths to earn money again. This is when they start taxing the people unfairly and this makes the country's people suffer due to the government's decisions of involving in wars. In addition to that, many countries create wars rationally without the intention to try to work things out. In my opinion, I think that hearing each other's thoughts and respecting each country and becoming allies and friends instead of foes is better because that way you can help each other out if you need something and this is helping out the world as a whole.
