Now technology is becoming more and more advanced.The weapon is becoming more and more dangerous.Though the world is in the peace by the large,the conflicts between countries have never died out.Amrica and Irap,China and Japan,Japan and Korea and so on.Besides those conflicts,the terrorist,activitist,it all proved that human beings are in danger.Facing those satuation,we should think some problems:how we can get a better life?how we can prevent the wars?
What do you think of it?Do you think some people who like to start the wars?

ok I THINK
stop wars is a romantic idea with noble reasons,but thinking in a way can prevent is a good issue.

to prevent wars ,we shouldn't be one nation because this is just a very theoritical idea can't come true in any age or under any circumistances(unless one strong FORCE other nations to join it, i think way need no discuss)

so maybe every nation keep its unique identity but it should admit the same right for the others

the topic is very big really and needs a lot

I think that a world without wars can be posible, but maybe I believe that due to the fact that I still believe in people (maybe I do because I�m still young). It would take years to build a whole new peaceful world, but it is posible by making great organizations (like the United Nations)get to an agreement. Unfortunately, the United Nations are only a big lie.

what a weapon does all depends on the man who holds it

i don't think that the human world can exist without here and there some crisis or even war. that's sad but, if we'd live in total peace, with never ever a war or an invasion, that would be like if you lived in total peace with your friends/family etc. consider, how long was the longest time space in which you weren't mad at somebody or didn't had a little argument with friends or family? even if it was not really serious, it was an argument.

what i think is as long as humans live together there will be always some little or even big arguments. the point is how we handle them...

i for myself couldn't stand to be always peaceful and agreeing and helping and so on, i need sometimes a nice fair little argument to clear differences and then it's fine Wink

good idea - and you're on the winning side because you're trained Mr. Green

'course we could blame Einstein, but without the theory of relativity we wouldn't have many technologies which help us in our everyday life or which are very useful in a medical way. and without Einsteins ideas there would probably be no abomb but there are still the other "normal" bombs which are very cruel and horrible, too.

i think diplomacy would be a good solution. one can win a lot with just talking Wink

and there were already many crises due to misunderstandings that could may be prevented by more talking..

greets Very Happy

and you think after having beaten each other up the problem is solved?! Laughing

i don't think so.. talking is the better way, of course some wars can't be prevented only by talking but it would be a start.

If two people have been educated in different countries, and they have developed different beliefs, it is natural that they may have very different, even conflicting, ideas. So, it can be very difficult for them to agree with each other about many things. In most cases, probably neither one is completely right, or neither one is completely wrong. What they can do, or should do, is to be patient to each other, and to find a compromising point where the two sides can at least put up with so that they won�t go into a conflict.

It�s very difficult topic to answer. If one who loves peace, however, I believe he or she can try to communicate with other people.

Peace is the greatest dream that humanity must achieve.It can only be done by peace lovers. As Lennon said: you may say I�m a dreamer, but I�m not the only one...
