People want to survive because they fear death or they want to do something before they die. People want to find mates because it is an emotional need. Other animals just want to pass on their genes.
finding mates means finding someone to pass your genes on to. that is an instinct, not an emotional need. finding
partners would be the emotional need.
If all the governments cooperated then war would not be declared against a government because it has terrorists, terrorists come from everywhere.
wars don't need to be between governments. have you ever heard of a civil war? that's a government (sometimes not even) having war with itself.
If enough governments decided that it was time for the world to have a single government then the other governments would either surrender or go to war (which I don't think enough would win for war to continue happening).
if somebody goes to war over something, there's going to be a war until total
A) total extermination or
B) one side has given up. chances of
any nation surrendering a war for sovereignty are ZERO. it's how America happened, it's how North Korea happened, it's how Vietnam happened. if you're fighting for freedom to control your damn homeland, you're going to keep fighting until you're either dead or missing enough limbs to fight.
Well, the voting system would have to be fixed.
it would take an obscene amount of time, money, and resources to amend the fact that not every single idiot in the world is allowed to voice his opinion. not to mention that the general public is usually wrong. do you know what prohibition is? do you know what that "good" idea did to the US? do you know that prohibition is now gone, and admittedly a bad idea?
The internet is helping spread all information (a few conspiracy theories here and there makes some people take action (usually for the better)).
yes, because conspiracies usually spawn terrorism and idiocy, terrorism and idiocy are always always
always for the better. [/sarcasmOff] do you have any idea WHAT the internet consists of? honestly, do you? you seem to live a woefully sheltered life to believe that the internet is full of truth, which, by the way, it sure as hell isn't. the internet is as truthful as the author of the content you are currently reading. do you live in some really rich all-white neighbourhood where you have people gather research on your papers for you? the VERY FIRST THING your school librarian will teach you in regard to research is to NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET.
After a big war (assuming that radiation levels are low enough to support human life) people would push for peace more than ever.
after a big war, people will hold on to their old hatreds. because it's a
big.
war. a few people will push for peace through understanding, the
VAST majority will push for peace through isolation. once bitten, twice shy. i'm talking about people perceived to be behind wars, not the wars themselves.
example: WWII. After Germany lost WWI, did Europe brush everything under the carpet and try to start new?
hell.
no. they wanted their damn compensation, and you can bet your ass they took as much as they could. that, in turn, caused a vicious economic depression in Germany, which in fact is what allowed Hitler to start the second world war. he took advantage of the desperate German peoples, their desire for a better economy and
vengeance on the rest of Europe.
by the way, what
I meant by "big war" is humanity coming close to extinction.
People can disagree without war, but sometimes they disagree too much.
people can, countries... not nearly as much as you'd hope. countries can disagree without
direct conflict, but there will be conflict, and there will be lots of it.
by the way... the act of defining something is to distinguish it from the things around it. if there is nothing different, you can quantify it but not define it.

...
4. to determine or fix the boundaries or extent of: to define property with stakes.
if there is nothing else to compare it to, then it has no boundaries, and cannot be defined. you cannot define something without simultaneously defining something else as being different from it.
