ok was reading replies to my post,can there be an end to war.
someone said(cant remember who)that there would need to be a strong central power.RELIGION!what has unified man for centuries?(and splintered them)it would bring them together,a broad world wide religion,of course conflict would rise,but after those who dont agree are no longer in the way(may take awhile)...you have a new generation who will believe what is taught to them...and that is frightening.a world religion used correctly could destroy all old institutions,ban the memory of old ways,of tradition.bind the hands of the zealot,redirect him,and unleash him.
now as to the end of war,you would have to deceive the people,make up an enemy.the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
-
or war on a much less scale,more of an act than a war;a central govt. could control all the world,but the people wouldnt have to know that,make the people believe that the world split and not really a whole controlled by a few.send troops against the "enemy" people die,but nothing in reality changes,the govt stays in power,the people are happy.
^probly not feesable,maybe though)
-
religion or a common idea will unify man when race,speech,nation,creed,(etc.)are no longer in question.would have to be a very strong movement though.but i believe it could happen given the correct happenings and opportunities taken.(and kept)
