Swords to Ploughshares : The Social Causes of Violence

Humans have never killed each other as before. Statistics on violent crimes such as murder, rape, and attacks are decreasing statistically not only in the United States but also in the world average. There is still a long way ahead of human dreams of the ideal utopia, but we have traveled a long way from world war era, racial discrimination, and suffering. We are tired of looting and rape. We now recognize that violence is a matter, not an answer. Or a man like Mahatma Gandhi and a woman like Arundhati Roy will challenge our wisdom and lead us to the path of peace.

Peace is the highest religious desire we have to strive for. When the ancient Hebrew prophet Isaiah imagined that the world would be completed by human conscious behavior, they wrote that they would harvest the sword as a pruned hook. Swords come to fight the country, and they will not stop learning war. "Although religion tends to be far behind the vision of this utopia, we must recognize that greed, unbalanced power and unfair hatred (not religion) are the cause of most wars not. .

Until the last world conflict, there were no armed industries in America. American plow share manufacturers can make swords over time if necessary. But we can not put the urgent emergency defense anymore. We have to create a huge permanent armaments industry. "Since the end of the Second World War, the United States is in a state of nearly a permanent semi-war.We are currently involved in at least seven war disputes.The" Department of War "is the largest in the United States There are employers, more than 4 million Federal officials, hundreds of thousands of federal contractors, estimated 20,000 CIA personnel, and over 800,000 national guards and reserve forces.

The solution for those feeling guns is as follows. Pen is always more than a sword. When necessary, the sword is the result of the pen, but should not crave for violence. This is the last resort. From Federalist papers to words such as Jesus, Gandhi, and our own government, words can make a big success. Our children are harvesting the result of being unable to compromise through the illogical fear of "taking our guns". Do not sin kids
