2. Interesting&New things

 The reasons for the war were more diverse than I’ve think and there are some I didn’t think before, it was interesting to me. The most interesting theory among them is Psychological theories. Some psychologists insist that human nature is violent, and peace does not exist, in fact, it is a period of war preparation that looks peaceful. If human nature is violent, can other factors (ex: rationality) be prevented war the global and destructive acts? the argument of modern feminism was interesting that war is only the behavior of male, if female leader, war will not break out. This argument sounds convincing. However, it is questionable Establishing a woman as a benign, non-violent is right.
