#The Causes of war
 

Why the war occur? There are good answer for this question.

1) Historians – Historians argue that war is coincidence.

2) Psychological theories – Some scholars argue that some people are violent from birth. This violence lead people to war.

3) Anthropological theories – Anthropologists’ view is that if societies reformed to good way war would disappear.

4) Sociological theories – There is no definite answer. Sociologists have divided to some group that have same think.

5) Information theories – They argue that war occur because of a lack of information.

6) Economic theories – In this theories, scholars argue that reason of the war is economic competition.

7) Marxist theories – This is a production of economic theories. They argue that wars are the way to enhance the power of high-ranking people.

#Conflict Theory
 

Basic logic of the conflict theory is that people (include any group) in society want to get profit as much. Resources are limited so conflict is created between people.

Conflict theory is developed as the times goes passes. Han Fei Tzu, Polybius, Marx and many scholars help developing conflict theory.

In modern society, examples of conflict theory can be found easily. That is ‘social stratification’, ‘wealth and power inequality’ and ‘drug abuse and crime’.

Mention & Question)

The views of war’s occur are very various. Maybe people have different ideas so there is difficult theories to agree. Especially psychological theories is difficult to understand. And most similar theory to my thought is HISTORIANS’ opinion. I think side of the accident in all historical event is bigger than any things. And ask you, your thought about war is what?
