chosen: Humankind is capable of committing terrible acts of cruelty and violence due to a variety of factors, such as greed, tribalism, nationalism, and a variety of other issues. War allows people to take advantage of opportunities to benefit themselves at the expense of others, as well as to engage in acts of revenge. In addition, some states use aggressive military actions to expand their power and dominate weaker nations. Such actions often lead to cycles of retaliation and escalating violence. Aside from the causes stated above, war is also driven by social, political, and economic interests. Through the lens of power and control, militaries are used as tools to ensure a country’s dominance in the world. This, in turn, drives the cycle of militarization and war and leads to the continued death of countless people worldwide. As such, understanding and tackling the root causes of war, in addition to the structural causes driving the violence, is necessary for achieving true peace in the world.
