Many global conflict in the current world is due to a lack of mutual understanding?

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.

what you just described is what is reeferred to in political science as state of nature.human beings have grown beyond that today the general agreement is that we need each other.that is why marshal mcluhan's global village concept is such a success

It might work for some situations, but for many world conflicts, "no." A lot of the world violence problems are power issues...not differences in belief systems...either the desire to have power/control over others or the desire to attain wealth/power.

Conflict is essential to growth of the society. History has proved that. So it is necessary that difference of opinion are expressed and they clash with each other. \n\n"Let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend" - Chairman Mao Tse Tung

There is and has been for over 200 years a cultural war between the East and the West.\n\nThe conflict is ideological (the current war is an escalation) and is between two competing moralities:  Rational Self-Interest (selfishness) and Altruism (selflessness).  \n\nYou'd better hope and pray that selfishness wins, because it's rival (the morality of Altruism) is responsible for the worst of mankind's history (wars, mass murder, political oppression, etc.).

The world as a whole has nothing to work for. There is rampant apathy, and that creates a void that is filled only by a lust for power, either over one person or one million. People don't really care about anything anymore. When the world has something that everyone is truly willing to work for, then we will have "peace." Unfortunately, only world-wide disasters and wars are what can "bring us together."

The leaders of the two countries get together and solv the problem without force.  If hat doesn't work they can duke it out on their own.  If thing opperated like that I bet there would be fewer wars.  It's been a long time since world leaders have been in the battlefield, if this were changed I think war would be less frequent.

Because humankind has not grown up enough to resolve issues in a peaceful manner.

so many have tried, more have failed. It is not in human nature to be tolerant and we allwant to control the other. So Alas, peace and understanding wil never happen , for each culture has its own rules and values and we are subjective to our perception to even come to an understanding of how an other cultre functions. Even the slightest difference in your states can cause conflicts... look at the juridical differences between states... \ndo I need to say more? \nWe wish and hope that is what thrives within us.

It never will get better, wars in particularly are fought due to money. i.e "oil,gold,land" , even religon, thats how the U.S.A was founded, it would be nice to see the world unite for a common cause, if it was not for fighting we would not be here today. wars have helped the technology improve even if it is to cause devastation, also created thousands of jobs, also believe it or not, it helps the economy

Problems of religious conflict \n Solution? The mass secularisation of the world, starting with the West. Its like hcildren with toys, if we cant play nicely together and share, then we dont get our toys. If we cant live with each others religions, then they should be taken away.\n\nProblems of Poverty\n Solution? Make trading laws fair, drop all subsidies in America and Europe. Cancel the world debt and let countries regain a foothold in a truely compepetive market. Liquidate the WTO, TRIPS and IBRD\n\nProblems of Warfare\n Solution? Fetter the arms companies, reel them in with strict laws and legislation or close them. No worming out, no loopholes, fairness or take-over.\n\nProblems of Health\n Solution? Make drugs free to all, split the biggest companies, such as Pfizer and Glaxo, into smaller, fairer units. Free research sharing, free information trade.\n\n.Enforcement of the UN laws and Geneva conventions, elimination of Oil corporations, Nationalisation of essential services and pooling of common needs. Its time to start working together or we're never going to make it out of the 21st century.

where there is people...there is conflict...where there is conflict, hate is generated. You won't a place with peace. You have to find peace within yourself, and that would be enough to carry you trough a hard world

Basicly, humans. We want everything, we want to have it our way, don't like to comprimise, and become socalised in to ideologies that serve to reinforce values and beliefs, that become outdated quickly in an increasingly globalised world. We want things easy, and don't like to take the diffifcult but necessary steps to ensure long term peace or survival. If your talking about concepts, then Id say religion, land and money are the main causes of international tensions.

We study this subject and others to "never forget" the horrible things people can do to each other and to keep them from happening again.  But alas, in my life time the world has allowed these things to go on over and over again!  Africa - Bosnia - the Middle East!  Other countries don't want to get involved until it affects them in the pocket.  Sadly, most wars through the centuries have been politically motivated rather than for the cause of humanity even though that is what is used as the pretext.\nStudy well, and make a difference!

In my opinion I would say some type of common understanding.  People have to share some type of belief, not necessarily religious, that bonds them.  Even if you always disagree with someone, you can have a common understanding that you both have a right to exist.  Common understandings serve as building blocks for a civilization.  When there aren't many common understandings, the base of the civilization will weak.
