The lack of Mutual Understanding my exacerbate problems between countries but most conflicts between countries are over distinct Geopolitical goals.  Sometimes it is just to remain the power in an area.\n\nI am also not sure what your definition of "mutual understanding" is if we all thought the same, and understand the same there would be no conflict, but who's way of thinking or culture is correct.\n\nIf you mean understanding each other I don't think that the Israelis and Palestinians have any trouble understanding that they both want the same land and they both believe that it is "their" even if they understood each other better their will be conflict.\n\nI think this is a promising topic for a paper, If you define all your terms, put in examples and come to come conclusions you should do very well.

I am not going to write your essay, but would advise you to read up on the "Blank Cheque". Look at the gap between the shooting and the start of the war. Look at how war unites a country which is in trouble internally.

One topic that has been discussed a great deal in recent months would be the mysteries surrounding Leonardo da Vinci.  How about the effects of the Internet on society and culture?  How is a country that invokes the death penalty different from a country that doesn't?  The pros and cons of decriminalizing marijuana would be an interesting topic.  Or consider the issue of the use of medicinal marijuana.  Is the world really over-populated or is that thought an urban myth?  You can find a wealth of information on various aspects of global warming.   Is there intelligent life on other planets?  Does the full moon really affect behavior?  Is there such a thing as a "right to die"?  I hope this helps.  Good luck with it.

I asked a question not too different from yours not long ago. In a way I got the answer, not directly from any of the answers made, though some were very good answers. The answer came from a commonality that all the answerers had. This aspect I found in the worst, best and all the answers inbetween. \n\nWhat I found was that everybody said after you edited away the fluff they said one word. That word was me. What problems affect me, or the group I belong too. Many of the answers were in direct conflict with other answers. Yet the answer was what was right for THAT person at that time. our inability to have more empathy with others manifests itself in greed, selfishness and all the other base emotions. The inabiliy to stand in another's shoes leads to misunderstanding. \n\nThe second thing which was noted by a couple of the answerers are that we are tenents of the world. The Earth is  our home and it's our responsibility to take care of it. So the second of the three is for people to acknowledge that what happens around them IS their responsiility and if it is not right it is their duty to do whatever possible to right those wrongs, within reason of course. \n\nDo the first two and there is no need for a third solution. Many problems would solve themselves.

The "Great War" as it was known at the time was the seminal tragedy of the last century.  All other events, the Russian Revolution, the Second World War, the Cold War, all flow from it.  It was the one event that made it impossible to reconstruct the world on the old basis, thus creating "modern times."

Have we not had enough wars?  What did we gain so far?  Disrepect from the rest of the world from what I can gather talking with people around the world.  \nOn what ground do we wage a war with China?  We'll be shooting ourselves in the foot again, and big time!

Because if you listen to the experts they are still arguing as to the cause.  Most do acknowledge the problems of today, but there are vast disagreements as to the extent it has on this planet VS cyclic weather patterns.  And why should only the rich nations be involved?  This goes across all borders......It doesn't always have to be monetary to fix a problem.

Try reading the book " The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" Samuel P. Huntington, 1996. He predicts that future conflicts will be determined by cultural factors more than economic or ideological factors. The Western world needs to develop a deeper understanding of religious and philosophical concepts of other civilizations. Religious and cultural fundamentalism can only gain ground by using for their own benifit the contemporary problems such as underdevelopment, unemployment, poverty and racism. And yes China, will become the next World Superpower and will have a strong relationship with Rusia and Japan. These are the results of his studies based on history and facts.

Everyone has a different idea of what a beautiful world would be like.  I can already tell you that if you are striving for world peace, your idea will never work.  If you think world-wide peace is a possibility, then you have a seriously skewed view of reality.\n\nCooperation can and will occur when natural resources are abundant.  When resources are scarce, competition increases and you will see more conflict.\n\nBut, I am an optimist and am curious.  What are some of your ideas?

I have asked the question, "What does a world at peace look like to you?"  The answers were very discouraging.  I find that the problem lies in the many different definitions of what world peace is and who would make the decisions about what is and is not allowed in that peaceful world.  Some people's and culture's peace is another's worst nightmare.\n\nThe answer that said it best was that Mars, in its barrenness and lifelessness is the best example of a world at peace.

The world can be a better place if we could all just recognize that everyone has more similarities than they do differences. If we could put a face and feelings to the people we tend to hate. If we could try to understand where people are coming from and why they feel the way they do before we judge them. The world would be a better place if we realized that every single person on earth has come to view things exactly as they do as a result of both their past experience and what they have been taught. Rather than persecute them for those views, we could offer them new experiences or teachings on which to base their views of the future.

don't waste time defending this proposition. the fact is that all wars have survivors, even nuclear war. I'd suggest that your essay should chronicle progression of the mass murder that commenced in 1938 and continued through August 1945, with the extermination of 35 - 50 million (no one knows exact casualty totals) people during WW II. Billions survived this catastrophe, and billions will survive the next one.  Nonsense aphorisms such as the one your essay is to explore seem sensible, but in fact serve no purpose other than to distract rational persons from viewing their world in terms of its history and likely - even if dark - future. good luck!

Well, war has always existed, it's a mean for states to expand their area of influence and to assume their security.  However, I do not understand why it is still a common occurrence.  Plenty of international mechanisms have been implemented to regulate relations between states which could resolve conflicts before they are carried on physically.  The bad faith some states constantly demonstrate put a strain on these organization (i.e. UN did not support the war in Irak but the US still carried on)\n\nBut the problem lies deeper, it's intolerance that is at the root of most wars.  States today do not carry wars for expansion (most of the time) but rather to impose their view on others that do not have the same lifestyle.  \n\nPart of the solution would be to allow every states to sit on the UN council whether it is considered democratic or not.  It would also be necessary to allow all ethnicity to use their native languages and practice their culture as long as it does not infringe others liberties.  Some regions of the world are not suited to become democracies, at least not yet, and it is something that westerners have to accept.   Maybe the common denominator should be that everyone should accept that the Western ways are not the absolute best and we should stop to impose them on unwilling populations.
