Is it true wars accelerate the social development otherwise communities become crusty?

without a doubt, both social and technilogical, as well as playing a role in evolution by 'weeding out the herd'....so to speak.

both. Wars are bad for civillians, but great for the military industrialists (and politicians who get the huge kick-backs from the contractors) (can you say CHENEY?)

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

You're taking evolution, which is a biological theory, and applying it to society. Now, that may or may not be valid, but that's what you're doing.\n\nAnother issue with your question is the answer may be different depending on your perspective. From the viewpoint of the species, the more advanced, smarter society tends to win wars, and tends to take over the land of the defeated peoples and spread successful ways of living and knowledge. So in that case, the argument can definitely be made that war is "good."\n\nBut, if you're coming from the perspective of a person in one of those weaker societies, or from the perspective of someone sympathetic toward those weaker societies or their members, then of course, war is bad.\n\n(To the guy who says there is no evidence for evolution, you need to open your mind and look at everything rather than being so biased as to write off the overwhelming amount of evidence contrary to your opinion.)

feelings of community sprit, slower pace of life and all that jazz is the posative side to the arguement, however, be careful, these are idealised, villages are being built on more and more, also alot of comertail value on village sites, garden centers and the like. are hard pushed to find true Rural village life. Look at emmerdale farm, being taken over by the Kings for example hope this has helped. soxpippa.

No.  All civilization has the mean to change and resurrect itself.  The openness of the Western Civilization helps it to reinvent itself when needed.

Stop for a moment & think. \n\nIt is for sure a good idea to increase what we spend on caring for the less poor& to decrease what we spend on wars.\n\nWars a useuly fought by those that want more of something for them selfs. (Money, power etc.) with little though as to what happens to the children. Those children that survive grow up & become fighters against those that fought against them.\n\nAnd the cycle goes on again.

I believe there are conflicts and wars because man is greedy.

War should be considered as the ultimate failure of a civilised society.\n\nWhen violence is the only answer, we are obviously don't have the intelligence to find the right questions.

No.\nDonating blood is a social good and the activity makes people understand the nature of social goods.

youre right, it destroys wealth & creates poverty. one of the best reasons for wars is to take our wealth (taxes, lives, property) and destroy it so that we never gave it to use to enlighten ourselves. if that happens, we wouldn ever tollerate the practices of tyrants.

war is always kind of bad, but thats just its nature.  war also dramatically pushes the technological envelope.  (computers, planes, ships, space shuttles, radios, cars, etc, are as advanced as they are because of the wars people fight)\n\nmost people despise war.  i would much rather use diplomacy to solve international problems, but unfortunately sometimes guns and bombs are the only solution, and if the situation calls for it, than i would use war.

To develop we need to streamline so we need Business Process Re Engineering. Of course your land has to free and ready for it all. If it's a country where war rages then you would social process re engeering, if that exists. I think in a country like India - go for it

at some point when all the jobs are gone, yes, currently no, as the powerful have all the resourses, and too many people beleive their b.s. so they follow blindly. Currently however people haven't wised up enough to unite and become a force to be reckoned with

wars are not created because of some defect in human lovemaking....wars are usually cold calculated efforts of grabbing more recources dreamed up by guys like our present neocons...dosnt matter if they have enough sex...power in itself is an aphrodisiac....
