possible results of war is always better than a war plan. As Fearon argues that war is always ex post inefficient. So a puzzle occurs, which is why rational countries choose to wage a war rather than considering a bargaining or negotiation to make a peace agreement. According to that, Fearon raised three rationalist explanations, namely information asymmetry, issue…
War throughout history has been limited as opposed to absolute. Limited war by its nature is the opposite of absolute war, and absolute war is a theory that fails as a construct. This essay discusses the two groups or types of war (absolute and limited) and the category subsets of those two groups that Carl von Clausewitz first discussed in his treatise On War. Categories of war, as defined by Carl von Clausewitz, are absolute war, ideal war, limited war, real war, war to disarm the enemy, war…
when he says”Have you ever seen a dear friend lying in the grass with his skull cut off, brain sliding out like wet oats?” but boy is it necessary. In actuality, war has been a vital part of the economy, the mindset that we are in peace, because without war, what is peace, it takes two polar opposites to make each other be important, or even exist. For example, what is kindness without harshness, stop without go. One would…
take examples like Rosa Parks, she stood up for herself and did not give up on what she believed in, in a time of racism and hate. Also Queen Elizabeth the Second, who has lead England with her husband for 64 years, but has her own job of keeping peace between other countries by hosting dinners and events. Oprah Winfrey, who has donated millions of dollars to different charities supporting various different causes, like raising awareness to HIV/AIDS, helping fight ALS, and starting her own…
Rhetoric Countering War Throughout history, war has become the only solution to resolving conflicts between nations or groups.

This simulation inspired me that, the balance of power can not simply explain the cause of World War I. By using Waltz’s three levels of analysis, the individual acts and beliefs, the collision of interest between states, as well as the anarchic nature of the international system could explain the outbreak of WWI. On the individual level, important figures significantly affected the possibility of war and the process of history. For example, Garivalo Princie was a Serbian nationalist who…
against an armed attack is justifiable. o Deaths and injury due to the reckless reasons are not morally justifiable so a just war should only be fought with a realistic chance of success. o Peace is the end goal of any just war so It has to be certain that the post war peace established is preferable to the peace that would…
Inner Peace I was 11 years old, living with my parents and two older siblings in a four story ranch house in the middle of Hartland, when I found my inner peace. At eleven I was a quiet girl stuck living in a loud house. I would sit still and let my mind wander off into the world of endless possibilities. I would search the sky for shapes, and scavenge through the dirt for rocks, but I would never allow noise while I was working. Until one day in the middle of May when I let mind wander back a…
Violence is also justified in war. Obviously, war tends to be very violent but sometimes people would say that violence in war has to have a limit. In actuality, there is no limit of violence in war. In the article “Hiroshima: Was It Necessary”, Doug Long (n.d.) writes about how there is no limit in war by using the bombing of Hiroshima as an example. Japan was fighting against the United States and had four years bombed Pearl Harbor. The United States fought back but Japan did not surrender.…
place.... It sounds like it could not be a true statement, I know. Although, what I tell you, is in fact a true statement. At one point in time, there was no major wars anywhere, throughout planet Earth.
