Causes of war
When trying to understand international relations,
There is something that we should not miss.
It is war.
So this article explains the various
1.1Historians
Social scientists have argued that not all wars are an accidental decision of leaders.
Social scientists have argued that all wars are not an accidental decision of leaders.
And They criticized the traffic accidents theory of A. J. P. Taylord.
1.2Psychological theories
Psychologists say that the cause of war is the violence that people have.
human are inherently violent.
Commonly this violence is repressed in normal society,
However this violence is induce something that bias and hatred against other ethnic groups, nations, or ideologies.
And finally this led to the outbreak of war.
And there are theories.
It is argued that a male activity and if human leadership was in female hands wars would not occur.
And another Psychologist argued that they only do so when mentally unbalanced men are in control of a nation.
1.3Anthropological theories
Anthropologists have a very different view of war.
They understand the cause of war as a cultural factor, learnt by nurture rather than nature.
So They argue that human societies could be reformed war would disappear.
And Theorists such as Ashley Montagu emphasize the top down nature of war.
1.4 Sociological theories
Because we are a student that have learned a Sociological, I studied and read this part more carefully.
To predict when and where war will take place, They use detailed formulas that take into account hundreds of demographic and economic values .
On the other hand, democratic peace theory is reluctant to talk about war.
1.5Information theories
Information theory claims that all wars were caused a lack of information.
There are two main purposes about gathering information.
The first is to find out the ability of an enemy, the second their intent.
Through a real example, They explained the importance of information to all wars.
1.6Economic theories
1.7Marxist theories
My opinion&question.
I was very interesting.
Because in this weekend,I learned Various studies of on one subject.
It was one topic that explains the cause of the war,
But They all had different opinions.
All other theories were logical, but I most agree with psychological theory.
I think most people have violence.
So They want to achieve something that they thinks most ideal.
And To get it, they fight..and they cause war, from their violence.
What kind of theories do you like best?
And Why is that?
I was most interested in Anthropological theories. Because, contrary to psychological theories, this theory has focused on the traits of human beings. For example, social characteristics. I oppose that human beings are essentially violent. This is the result of acquired learning. So I am most reminded of the theory of anthropological theories.
ReplyDeleteI feel Psychological theories the most impressive.
ReplyDeleteBecause it is interesting to try to find the cause of the war from human nature.
And it is convincing because all the actions are triggered by psychological factors.
