War is worth the destruction it causes only in certain scenarios. One of these scenarios is when either an ethnic group, religious group, or even a whole population is persecuted. In that case, the destruction war causes is worth the fight, because the results of the war and the destruction results in a better living condition than before.
It really depends on why the war is taking place. If the war is taking place for reasons like discrimination of any kind then maybe it is okay because they would be fighting for what they believe in. Even if their land is destroyed, the people would have a new life where they are treated respectfully. If the war takes place in a different place then it would definitely be worth it because the other army would be affected.
War is worth destruction in specific occasions. If people are fighting for freedom then war might be the only answer because freedom is a high price to pay. Even if people and land are being killed and destroyed, the people who are fighting in the war are getting what they believe in and trying to make a better life for the people in their country.
Yes. Unless war is mismanaged, and reconstruction is not handled in an efficient manner. War bring a sense of real urgency to things like Science and Technology. Look at the Cold War. No casualties(except spies) and it gave certain projects the funding they needed to help advance technology decades. Now, this is not always the scenario. But take a look at the revolutionary war too. It spawned the invention of Rifled Barrels, as opposed to smooth bore muskets which only fired accuratly half of the time. War produces results, and thats the cold hard truth.
I agree with Lee, in that war is for the most part only worth it when you are protecting people from being persecuted. Also, any war that causes a lot of destruction is only worth it if it is preventing further destruction from occurring. On the other hand, if say a Dictator was causing mental destruction amongst people by taking away rights, then a war would be necessary to defend what people believe in, no matter the destruction that would be involved.
I also happen to agree with Lee. For example it was necessary to have war to stop the Holocaust. When war is waged for unnecessary purposes, then the fighting is not worth it. Like fighting war over oil is not the right way to solve oil problems. Solving those problems can be done peacefully.
War is basically the last means nessesary for people to get what they want. When communication is not working, an act of violence is usually the only way of a society to get what they want. War is neccessary at this point because no other means of communication could resolve the problem. War is worth the cost when this need of the society will help cause peace and stability in the world.
I believe war is always the right solution. Nothing shows who's boss better than a show of power; war is how we became the most powerful nation in the world, and war is how we'll stay that way. The secret to war is to minimize your risks; no one wants to commit forces to an unlikely mission, but by using slow but sure methods of attrition and perseverance, while making sure your troops are safe on the battlefield, is the way to win. A dead soldier is dead weight; keeping soldiers alive to fight another day is key.
War isn't worth destruction no matter what the cause. I will admit that there have been some cases in which good things resulted from war but the things that it took for those good things to happen were catastrophic. For example, WWII ended up with a good effect on the world. Hitler was "dethroned" in some senses and order was restored to Europe. However, the deaths that occurred in order to achieve that effect were not, in any way, worth it.
War is worth the destruction in 0 situations. All war is caused by humans natural affinity for discriminating or hurting others, as well as greed. However, sometimes in becomes necessary in order to save more life's then anything, therefore lowering the destruction.
I personally think that war can go either way. When fighting for ones country it is necessary if another country is threatening your own. You can't just sit back and watch your own country get distroyed. At the same time, there are many situations where a matter can be dealt with in a much more peaceful manner. We could have removed many awful wars just by dealing with the problem in a different way.
War should only be encouraged as a last resort. If people are being discriminated and treated wrong and there is no other way to resolve this than this is when war should take place. On the other hand if it is as small as a group of people or as big as a country simply trying to get what they want than it is unnecessary, immature and foolish. Children are always reminded "no grabbing" when taking something that is not theirs and, when growing up we all hear the phrase "violence is not the answer". It is important imply these phrases in everyday life if we want to help prevent wars and make the world a more peaceful place.
I agree with Lee in the sense that war is only worth while if you are preventing persecution, but i do not feel as though it creates a better living condition. War is destructive and plenty of harmless people are killed because of their racial group or their environment. I do not believe that war is ever worth the cost economically or politically. Taking human lives without real justification is wrong. Like I said, thousands of lives are taken every day for no reason. What does it solve?
I also agree with Lee that destruction is okay in some situations. I believe that destruction is only worth its cost if it is used to prevent further death. A few deaths in order to save many is a more practical approach. Humans have always found a way to disagree with one another and in the end wars start and lives are lost, by using destructive measures many lives can be saved for the price of a few, sadly sometimes using destructive force can just cause more destruction which becomes cyclic (destruction begets destruction)
When, if ever, is war worth the destruction it causes? Why?
War is not worth money, destruction, or the lives of innocents. It causes destruction and chaos to reign whatever country it is fought in. Many people's lives are destroyed in the crossfire, whether it be a poor civilian, just being in the wrong place at the wrong time or a soldier trying to win a battle. People suffer from poverty and the loss of one or more family members. War never brings good, and it should only ever be used as a last resort. War between countries is expensive, though it can not compare to the hostile environment that the soldiers have to fight in, or the poor living conditions people have to survive in. Once a war begins it will take a long time to get the participating counties to become normal once again, which then makes all the countries involved suffer with taxes and such. Both parties military force decrease, and many people lose loved ones. Therefore there are many reasons to why war is never beneficial, for the countries involved have to pay a lot of money, their population decreases, and many people's lives are in danger; whether they are a soldier or a civilian, there is a great risk of dying.
I don't agree with yokumgang. War isn't always the best answer. In fact I think it shouldn't even be an option. People often think the ends justify the means, I disagree completely. War may be affective when trying to deal with terrorists or the persecution of certain groups of people, But I think war should be a last resort. I agree with Zenia when she says war isn't worth risking Innocent lives. It's also costly and impractical.
Rarely is war ever worth the destruction it causes. One situatoin were war is worth the cost is for freedom. If it will signifigantly change many lives for the better, then the destruction is worth it because it will help the greater good. I disaprove in destructive war when it is killing inocent people for a useless cause. Most of the time i believe that war is wrong, but there a few occations where war is the right thing to do.
War is the answer to problems depending on the situation. Agreeing with Per, i beliecve that war should be only used in extreme situations. This is because when destruction is happening all the time, unless it is an extreme case like the holocaust, the matters should be settled by different means. Unfortunately, there are so many variables that condratict this opinion but in the end, one has to take a side.
I believe that war is rarely worth the destruction it can cause. One occasion in which I consider war to be acceptable, is if it involves fighting for a nation's freedom or natural rights. However,innocent peoples lives should not be endangered for a problem that is less important. Not only can war destroy cities and land, it can also emotionally destroy the families of the the soldiers.
war is completely worth it because fighting is in our genes all animals fight and we cant stop that so if we don't step up and fight other countries will walk all over us. i think that every on who said war is completely wrong is completely wrong because war is completely right because you need to show dominance to all the other countries.
The only time where war is worth destruction is if it is going to be for something that will change mankind or effect a huge ammount of people. But war is the physical fighting between two nations or groups and it is not necessary because there is nothing that you cannot solve by talking out. When you talk stuff out, you dont really feel threatened or scared which is what war can make you do. War intimidates people which is why people have wars.
The destruction that war causes is worth it if you are defending your homeland against an invader. You're not going to just let them take you over and surrender to them. Another reason would be that if a dictator is getting out of control and needs to be stopped, war is necessary to stop him from becoming to powerful and dangerous. Lastly, if a group's ideas are being rallied against, like religion, to defend your beliefs can be worth a war.
War is worth the cost of the destruction in certain situations. In the case of national security was is vital. If a countries homeland is at risk war is necassary to bring the violence to them instead of having innocent civilians on your own soil killed. but in other cases war is unecassary because a country may not be threatened but they still wage war (Matt Connelly0
War is worth the destruction that it causes in certain situations. If war is taking place for freedom, or defending your country, then it's necessary. The people who are fighting in the war are defending what they believe in, and if they win the war they will be proud of their country.
I think that war is worth the cost if it actually has to do with the nations that are fighting it. If an ethnic group is trying to win independence then it is definitely worth it. I think that wars where countries like America and Britain try to control others and has nothing to do with their own business is wrong. An example is the Iraq War, Bush did not like Hussein's regime so he went and caused the deaths of thousands of civilians because of it.
I do agree that it depends on the situation for a war, because if we just star a war with no point then we are going to end up in a resscsion like we are now. If there was a point to the war then we won't have a problem, and we would be fixing it.
Yes war is worth it. It kicks start the economy for the country that is in the war. It creates jobs for literally everyone. People go off to war, people are making things for war, and everybody and everything ends up working for the war. so it makes it easier for company's and there works to keep there job and it also makes more jobs for all the unemployed. But i agree with peoples other comments about the destruction. All the destruction that occurs isn't worth it but for such a big benefit of keeping the economy rolling makes the pros and cons even out.
This is Stephen, and I have to agree with Jeffery that if an ethnic group is fighting for its independence and suppression is getting in its way, then war is necessary. As well, it is necessary for stopping atrocities like the holocaust, but WWII was not fought to end to Holocaust. other than that, for example, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, it is pointless to fight those because it not worth the money or the loss of life and the destruction. It is basically a violation of humanity when those wars are fought.
War is a tricky thing. Sometimes people get so caught up in confrontation that they lose sight of their goals. Sometimes you fight for land and then after the war, you see that now the land is burnt and reeks of death. However, sometimes destruction is necessary for creation. Sometimes you end in order to start anew. This is the only exception to the evils of war.
The war is worth the destruction is causes only in certain cases.If the war is taken place for religious beliefs or other religious reasons i do not believe it is worth the destruction becasue everyone has their own oppinion and everyones oppinion should be treated with respect.One way that it is worth the destruction is when a land is being taken over or terrorised. They are fighting for their land back and peace.
I agree with Julian about him saying that “sometimes destruction is necessary for creation”. This can be seen all throughout history, for example, the American Revolution. Without the wars that took place in the revolution we would still be suffering from the unfair rule of England. We had a motive that was worth fighting for, the freedom of our nation. In order to become America we had to destroy the rule that was over us, destruction was indeed necessary. War can be worth the destruction, when a positive outcome is reached, other wise the death and destruction was worth nothing.
Like Lee, i agree that war is worth the destruction only in dire situations. Unlike most i believe the war in Iraq was necessary because the well-being of the whole country was in trouble. I don't think we should have stayed in there but i do believe that war should be used when the state of the well-being of your country is in trouble. Kill only when you feel you might be killed.
I also agree with Lee. Yes- war can be worth the cost, but only in certain situations. If a group is being persecuted or attacked simply because of a factor such as religion or ethnicity, and are unable to resolve the conflict by other methods, war may be necessary, and worth the cost. War is only worth the cost if the it results in better lives for those involved.
I agree with what most people are saying. When people are being wronged for unfair reasons like race or religon, people need to be stopped. If they do not respond to government sometimes it is neccessary to physically stop them. Occasionally, talking isn't enough when people refuse to listen should you must not give them a choice. There is always going to be a price for war, specifically destruction of land and cost but sometimes it is a price most people are willing to pay and even may need to.
War is often avoidable and should never be taken lightly, but some times it is the only way to settle a dispute and get your point across. So naturally I agree with Lee and think too, that persecution is a perfect example of the time war is necessary. Those who think war is unnecessary, are ignorant to the fact that not all people in the world are good. There are a lot of evil people in this world and everyone is better off in the long run and will benefit from them losing power.
I disagree with most people in the sense of when they are trying to say that was is alright if it is for a good cause and that people should support it. I feel like each country, towns, districts should just mind their own business and no one should fight. People might disagree with this comment and say that were there are humans there is always war which could be the furthest thing from the truth and that people should just mind there own business and just go on living because every second you spend hating someone you cant get those seconds back into your life.
War may or may not be worth the cost based on what is at stake. It depends on how necessary a country believes going to war is because if it means defending their country's safety then they think it' worth it. If something can be resovled without going to war that would be the best way to go about things because of the destruction and devastation war brings to countries. Most of the time war hurts and hinders countries more than it helps them.
