WARS
For many years , wars have been in the world . War is any large scale, violent conflict. Although nowadays the meaning of the war is changing , the importance of war is the same. Samuel indicates in his article ‘WAR’ that “War is a state of conflict involving two or more groups of creatures attacking each other in an attempt to destroy the opposing force , to capture the resources of the other side, or to defend resources of their own from capture.”(2007) It is considered to be an important issue which has some controversies. Although some people assert that wars can be necessary, they are not necessary because they create loss of confidence, trigger economic depression, create health problems and becoming of competition over humanity.
Even though it may be asserted that wars are necessary for security in the world , they create loss of confidence between countries. Some people claim that wars are important to get their social freedom. It is also argued that any people may benefit from human rights. However, wars are very harmful for human rights because at the same time a lot of people lose their freedom. Moreover, wars cause loss of confidence between countries. For example, USA lost people’s confidence because USA started Iraq War. This results in other big problems such as wars.
It may be asserted that wars may be necessary for economic benefits ; however, wars trigger economic depression. Some people claim that wars can be very important opportunity to get economic benefits such as resources and geopolitical position of countries. Hanson claims in his article ‘THE SECRET: Oil Crunch is Coming’ that Muslim countries stress economies of Western countries because Muslim nations have 60 percent of oil market in the world by 2010.(2002)However , wars have far more crucial consequences on economy which lead people to poverty. Wars result in economic depression. Thus , lack of investment and production occurs because war expenses very high. As Brouwer explains ,the biggest financial cost of the First World War is for Germany with 37.775.000.000 Dollars, second one is Great Britain with 35.334.012.000 Dollars lost.(2001)
It may be claimed that wars can be necessary for political gains, but wars create health problems. Some people claim that causes about religion may lead governments to involve in wars. It is asserted that people may want to get control of holy areas. For example, pope arranged the Crusades to get Jerusalem. This position goes on further argue that some may use wars to spread their religion. It is also asserted that ambition to be the dominant power in the world is may be another reason such as USA. However, any religion doesn’t want people to have been died and also a country which isn’t liked by people can’t be the dominant power. Moreover, wars result in serious health problems. By end of war there are a lot of deaths. As pointed out in the chart ‘WAR DEATHS per Century’ ,there were 2 million deaths because of war in 1500s,in 1600s,the number of deaths increased to 6 million. In 1700s, the number of deaths remained the same. From 1700s to 1900s , there was sharp increase in the number of deaths.(1995).Furthermore, wars result in illness and also cause epidemic. By end of the wars there are a lot of woundeds.
Finally, some claim that wars are necessary to improve technology with competition ,but competition becomes over humanity. Some claim that war speeds up technology. It is also asserted wars result in important developments because people want to win any war ,so they must improve their science. However, wars are very harmful for science and technology because they destroy them at the same time. Moreover ,if there is a war in a country , this country does not do any experiment. Furthermore , aggressively competition become over humanity because people forget that they will use this technology to kill people.
In conclusion, wars are not necessary because they result in loss of confidence , economic depression , health problems and aggressively competition. If wars are finished in the world , people become more happier.
