Q.44-48)

Passage:

Anthropologists have questioned the universal explanation of war. Some people have a strong hope that the possibility of war can be eliminated by wise collective decision, as was the case with slavery. But the situation of war is so diverse and historically so widespread that it is not possible to cure it by simple measures.

Economic objectives have always existed. The fight for salt or metals, gold and treasure to enslave workers or to gain access to oil and trade routes or oil or other resources has led to many of the world’s violent wars. But ideological and religious conflicts have motivated the war. “From Alexander to Napoleon and from Napoleon to Hitler, wars were waged with an air of arrogance to establish dominance. With the rise of China’s power, the question has arisen whether its conflict with the United States will turn into a war. Every war-like episode can be seen as a search for defense, as border regions are feeling vulnerable. The new forms of conflict resolution, such as cyber-attacks, suggest that war is still relevant. The wars fought in this century have proven false any hope for lasting peace. Ecological crises, pressure on resources, and clashes in religious beliefs seem to be the emerging elements of the new international order. Therefore, the future of war does not appear to be very different from its past.”

Q.44) What some anthropologists think and hope about war

Correct Answer: 1

Q.46) This is a common element found in every war-like episode mentioned in the text.
