Week 2 Blog Prompt:


In your opinion, how has war evolved from the past to present? Please use examples to justify your opinions.


War is where millions die fighting for a cause which they support, some do not even have a cause they are just the innocent bystanders swept away in the heat of the conflict.War has evolved not only in the weaponry, from sticks clubs to swords and cannons to modern day war machines tanks ships submarines and and such. But not only the above have evolved but also the matters that we are fighting for most probably in the past in would just be warring lords and dukes challenging each other for a piece of land or trying to take over the country .In present time we are fighting to avenge the deaths of others , of people in power such as the man who was assassinated and therefore started WW2. Imagine the deaths of masses all because of 1 man being assassinated. We humans are rash beings declaring war just because of ones loved one being killed for no reason.

This is exactly why we have elections in our present day society, to let the people choose for themselves who they want to follow , who to make their decisions for them, who to lead them ,who could put the country before him or herself when in comes to the matter of the death of his loved ones, whether can he move on and lead the country as before or is he just a weak character shattered with just one blow.

  1. I just think that you did not focus much on the evolution and the change of war. You only talked about the differences behind the reasons of war and the weaponry. You did not raise specific examples about the improvement of broader aspects of war such as tactics, therefore, your topic has gone somewhat off point. Do try to improve :D!
