After reading the essay by Margaret Mead, “Warfare: An Invention-Not a Biological Necessity” , I thought of a few questions. Is it possible to end war? If it is, why haven’t we ended it? And if it’s not, what’s the point of writing about it being a bad idea? I thought of these questions because although I like the idea of no war, I’m not sure its a reasonable hope. This essay says that man has created war and that we don’t need it, but if we don’t need it why does it continue? I think that her essay is interesting, but it might have been more beneficial to explain how we can end war instead of naming off societies that don’t have it.
