summary

 

 

Experts in various fields tried to explain the causes of the war.

A historian tends to avoid a full explanation of all the wars.

A.J.P.T Taylor described the war as a car accident.

 

 

I have summarized theories about psychology theory, anthropology theory, and Marx's theories.

Psychological theories

 

The psychologist explained that the intrinsic nature of the man is related to war.

These violent characteristics explain that a war can occur when combined with other nations, such as ideology and nationality.

These theories can explain why the war occurs.

However, it does not explain when and how the war happens.

Other psychologists explain that human nature can cause war.

But it asserts that an emotionally unbalanced person can control the nation.

 

 

Anthropological theories

 

Anthropology has a very different view.

Anthropologists in theory emphasize the top down nature of the war.

That means war is not waged by the public.

The war is that the leaders are committed to maintaining the legitimacy of their ideology.

 

 

Marxist theories

 

Marxist theory explains that the war strengthens the power of the ruling class.

It also explains that war is a natural phenomenon of free markets and class systems.

That means that the war does not disappear until the world revolution occurs.

 

 

my opinion 

 

It was an opportunity to think about war.

I found out that there are various positions to see the war.

It was interesting to realize that each theory has different opinions about war.

I was especially interested in Marxist's theory.

It is interesting that the war is essential in society, such as a hierarchy of contemporary society.

I think this is a reflection of the modern society.
