The causes of War
-Historians
Historically, causes of war couldn’t be
predicted as accidental accidents. But social scientists argue that some leader's decisions are causes of war so war is not accidental.

-Psychological theories
First theory : Human are violent, especially men. But in normal society, violence is suppressed. Violence are combined with bias and hatred. Then war is occured. But this theory can't explain when and how war is occured. Its solution is that peace doesn't really exist. Peaceful times are preparation time for next war. Hope for escaping it is war is not occured by female.
Second theory : Human occur war when their mental is unbalanced. But wan can be ended by screening process like election.
-Anthropological theories
War is nurture than nature. Human learned it culturally. Society reformation leads elimination of war. Violence is not linked with war. Each violence has each cause.
-Sociological theories
There are many advanced theories. Attempt to divide wars make mixed results. And sociology divides numbers of schools.
-Information theories
Information about causes of war is most important. It is based on that war is reciprocal. Interesting thing is that invasions and annexations don't occur war. War's result is not determined but fully determined to economics, power. Finding enemy's ability and intent is two objectives in gathering intelligence. Conflict in interest makes difficulty.-Economic theories
Wars are outgrowth of economic competition. Pursuit of new markets, natural resources and wealth are causes of war. pursuit of new markets, of natural resources, and of wealth
-Marxist theories
Class struggle is developed to war. High class occur war to enhance their power and divide proletariat. And wars are natural growth of free market. Wars will not disappear until world war occurs.
Opinion & Question
I didn't know that there are many theories about causes of war. I have thought that causes of war are conflict in ideology. But war is bad. Because War makes many victims and makes environment erupted. And I also think that war can be accidental. North Korea has threaten South Korea they will occur war. North Korea has invested a lot of money in weapons and training soldiers. So I have question in this. Do you think that war between Korea??
First, I disagree with your thinking that causes of war are conflict in ideology. There is the war that isn't be ideological. Think of the imperial war. They are human desire of territorial expansion, competitiveness through the war.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, I disagree with your thinking that war can be accidental. It is not a coincidence and there is reason for the war and the war is deeply associated with social structure of the time. But I agree with your opinion that war is bad. Especially World War I and World War II has many victim and they make people painful due to large amounts of chemical use. My opinion about your question is I think the war between korea should not be happen. If the war happens, it will create the worst situation to all korea. We will have to achieve peaceful unification.
