Posting by Gyeong Don Lee(W11)


W11 talks about the causes of war and conflict theory. In this posting, I will only talk about the causes of war.

Summary

Read this article to see what scholars think about war.

Historians say that war is like a traffic accident. Because war is hard to predict.

Psychologists argue that men are violent when they are born, there is a high probability that the outbreak of war if the leader is a man, not a woman.

Anthropologists have a different view of war than historians or psychologists. They argue that war will disappear if human society is reformed. In order for the war to disappear, we must give us a religious, ideological, and nationalistic environment.

Sociologists are concerned about the origins of war. They argue that statistical analysis of the war can predict when and where the war outbreak.

Now I want to talk about the theory of war.

Information theory argues that all wars are based on a lack of information. It also argues that the difference of Intelligence capabilities will divide the victory and defeat of the war.

Economic theory argues that war originated in confused economic competition. It also argues that war is an industry and that it can bring enormous wealth to the nation.

The Marxist theories argue that all wars grow in the class war. It also argues that war does not disappear unless the world revolution takes place.

Question

Why does war have to kill people?

As a digital age, can not it be replaced by simulation war?

  1. Your question is interesting.
    As we entered the digital age, all lifestyles changed. It will not be different from the war.
    Of course, there are still countries where physical war takes place.
    But there are also wars in the digital world, such as cyberwar.
    Now that cyber space is playing an important role in society as a whole, cyberwar can be enough damage for each other.
    But all the wars will not be replaced by simulation war unless all the physical war supporters who want to make a direct sacrifice are gone.

  2. It is difficult to understand your question. Answer the question as I understand, simulation is different from real world. I think purposes of the war are to get something (resources, territory and something different). But in virtual world, getting something is almost impossible excluding data. And if war occur, no damage of human life is also impossible.

  3. I think that the cause of killing people is ostentation of power and evitbable behavior.
    And, I think that simulation war is uselss thing.
    Can you explain the simulation war's feature and result?
