Can war be inevitabile? According to a multifold of authors war is not of human nature. However, many argue that is human nature to be in war. That Man is tainted with sin since the beginning. Other say that War is not part of our nature at all and many capitalist society have rid the presence of war in their respective countries.
Because of the Original Sin man was man born into this world with evil in his heart, and due to this evil he can not overcome war. Many Christian use Romans 5:12 from the Bible to support their claims of Original Sin, ¨Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:¨ The Council of Trent (1545-63), or Trentine councils were a series of Roman Catholic theological meetings in response to the Protestant Reformation. The Council of Trent gave the official stamp to the idea that original sin was transferred from generation to generation by propagation - which means during the sexual act that led to conception. This formalised the notion of Original Sin as part of Roman Catholic doctrine. But, we didn't evolve with the desire and need of war according to most historians and authors. Notwithstanding the fact that over the course of human history there has been multiple societies that have rid many practices that were once thought of as permanent in our human nature.Things such human sacrifice, blood feuds, duelling, slavery, the death penalty, and many others. War long predates capitalism, and surely Switzerland is a type of capitalist nation just as the United States is. But there is a widespread belief that a culture of capitalism — or of a particular type and degree of greed and destruction and short-sightedness — necessitates war. One answer to this concern is the following: any feature of a society that necessitates war can be changed and is not itself inevitable. The military-industrial complex is not an eternal and invincible force. Environmental destructiveness and economic structures based on greed are not immutable.
Even though numerous societies have rid of the presence of war there are still countless battles going on to this day. Why do different cultures or countries go to war? Competition is one of the first reasons to why civilizations go to war. Competition over scarce resources (money, leisure, sexual partners, and so on) is at the heart of all social relationships. Competition rather than consensus is characteristic of human relationships. Number two, Structural inequality. Inequalities in power and reward are built into all social structures. Individuals and groups that benefit from any particular structure strive to see it maintained. And those individuals or groups that don't benefit from the structure seek to have it destroyed. The third reason why countries go to war is revolution. Change occurs as a result of conflict between social classes competing interests rather than through adaptation. It is often abrupt and revolutionary rather than evolutionary thus often times it results in a war And finally,War itself: Even war is a unifier of the societies involved, as well as war may set an end to whole societies.
Is War is beneficial? In the second half of the 19th century, rear Admiral S. B. Luce argued that “war is one of the great agencies by which human progress is affected. Against the background of the US Civil War, Luce who was the founder of Naval War College believed that was in general solves political, economic and social problems. No doubt, the Civil War solved the issue of a divided nation that had to choose between the agrarian slave-based economy of the south or the industrial-commercial mobile labor based north that was interested in national economic integration and competition with Western Europe during the Industrial Revolution. The price was 600,000 casualties and it cannot be argued even by the most loyal and redneck southerner that the social and racial issue was solved, although the political and economic ones were. Furthermore, does the legacy of the US Civil War justify S. B. Luce’s arguments and those who agree to this day regarding military solutions for political, economic and social problems confronting society? Pacifism was an underlying pacifist trend among all religions, but most pronounced about the oneness of humanity so characteristic of Indian religions can be found in Guru Nanak (1469-1534), the first Sikh Guru who wrote a hymn regarding the sacredness of life and peace.
‘No one is my enemy
No one is a foreigner
With all I am at peace God within us renders us
Incapable of hate and prejudice.’
In conclusion, war can be avoided if certain humanitarian needs are meet. Having social equality and good competition are all aspect of a war free society. It is possible for capitalist countries to be free of war. Switzerland is a fine example of this. The argument of Original Sin is definitely a debatable discussion that is relevant. However humans can get past there human nature and become a war free civilization. It just depends if they are willing to sacrifice.
