I don't think that there will ever be a time when the human race will experience complete world peace.

 @9HXHR3YNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

I hope so, we need a time where we can resoulve our problems with words, not weapons.

 @9HZBZV3from Ontario  disagreed…11mos11MO

I don’t ever think the entire world is gonna be against wars and violence especially because we can’t all agree on anything never mind conflicts

 @9J3KJMK from Ontario  disagreed…11mos11MO

I believe it is superficial to have a world where war is obsolete because the world in itself faces hundreds of obstacles. Such as political tensions, cultural differences, grievances, and to mention it is innate for us to feel some aspect of competition and self protection.

 @9HXNQ68New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

eventually everyone will have weapons of mass destruction and no wars would be able to happen without the planet wiping out itself

 @9J4CK2Qfrom Ontario  disagreed…10mos10MO

As technology advances, there will be better and better ways to defend and counter attacks from said weapons of mass destruction

 @9J45M9Ffrom Ontario  agreed…10mos10MO

maybe people will eventually realize that if there IS a nuclear war. NO ONE will come out victorious... because no one will be left...

 @9HN5ZG3New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Since the human race is complicated the likelihood of that happening is very low.

 @9HD9MZVfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

No. History repeats itself all the time. War will always exist because we are humans. War will exist for all kinds of reasons such as self defence, greed, gaining property etc. It is in our nature to seek war.

 @9HDS3P9from Alberta  answered…12mos12MO

Probably not with the world leaders we get, but maybe some time in the far away future we could

 @9K5WY64from Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

No, unless everyone is united, war is an important factor for both technological and physiological development.

 @9KF2HWL from British Columbia  disagreed…9mos9MO

Only 8% of global governments are true democracies. Authoritarianism is still very much alive and as long as this continues, imperialism will follow.

 @9KDLF6Cfrom Ontario  disagreed…9mos9MO

There are to many haters in this world. There will always be people who disagree on things and think war is the best way to solve it which sucks.

 @9JNBYR8from Nova Scotia  answered…10mos10MO

No. There will always be someone that thinks they are superior than others and want to enforce their beliefs on others.

 @9JSLGDKfrom Ontario  disagreed…10mos10MO

Everyone will always have different views and opinions, especially about religion. That causes me to believe there will always be war.

 @9JS8GNHfrom Alberta  agreed…10mos10MO

There will always be one political leader that thinks they're better then the other, causing the countries to argue over who is better, and could lead to a war, to try to prove who is better then the other.

 @9JVMF7Wfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

Realistically I think that humans are too intelligent and too fast paced to be able to fully let go of violence.

 @9JYLP3Nfrom Quebec  disagreed…9mos9MO

we are complicated little monkeys all riddled with internal biases, prejudices and hypocrisies. conflict can and will always arise at some point or another when our values clash too harshly.

 @9JXD6CJfrom Ontario  agreed…9mos9MO

Humans are very stubborn people and i think this person is going off a vision that there will alwasy be someone who views the world with older ways and that will almost always cause conflict in the world.

 @9HSV7T4from Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

 @9HR5PGH from Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

We could if our governments didn't fund a genocide because of greed and a lack of concern for human life.

 @9HPLKNGfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

No. There will always be a person or people willing to sacrifice either lives or the safety of their country because of personal narcissism and self-glorification.

 @9HLXR29from Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

No, I believe war will always exist. War is something that happens a lot today and I can't really see it coming to a end anytime soon.

 @9HD4NRNfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

No, I think that there are too many different types of people in the world, some with severe religious beliefs that will always fight no matter what

 @9HL4P67Conservativefrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

No. There will always be people who work for their own benefit. Wars are caused by the selfishness of a few in power.

 @9HCRSYRPeople’s from Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

No. There will always be conflicts, right and wrong. But We should stop foreign interventionist wars.

 @9HG7TKHLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

I think that war is a never ending cycle and I dont think that our world will ever reach the point of complete peace.

 @9HDTK2Pfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

No. War and greed will always play a part in society. I simply hope that we can reach a point where there is no war, however there will always be cases where it is valuable for people to go to war.

 @9HDMVWCanswered…12mos12MO

Not unless the human race is extinct or the government euthanizes all people with "defects", but that is far too extreme and nonsensical. Even with studies with apes we found that just one bad ape is able to cause a total war in the enclosure.

 @9HCV2TNfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

Likely not. Humans are prone to violence and fighting. There will never be a time when war is eradicated.

 @9HX66QSfrom Washington  answered…11mos11MO

Yes, I feel that a large part of the world has become much more peaceful as it has become more wealthy. We have realized the free market and peace is a superior method for producing wealth in the world. This trajectory will be followed by worlds poor, I hope.

 @9J3YLSZfrom Ontario  disagreed…10mos10MO

The world is based on survival and no matter how "peaceful" we've gotten over the years countries and their leaders will always have some sort of problem with other country/leader. Its just human nature.

 @9HVQ5LWfrom British Columbia  answered…11mos11MO

What kind of stupid question is this? Also let’s try to imagine a future where we aren’t senselessly killing innocent people for profit- how about we start there.

 @9HZC9Y8New Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  agreed…11mos11MO

I would love a world without war, but it just seems unlikely. The fact that there are specific war laws and regulations but are not really policed or maintained is ridiculous.

 @9HS73CL from Quebec  answered…11mos11MO

 @9HH3BRQfrom British Columbia  answered…12mos12MO

 @9HF5FF9from Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

In my honest opinion, we are already there. The threat of nuclear retaliation has made most direct offensives way too risky. If every country had a stockpile of nukes, no country would invade another country.

 @9HGGJ73from Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

I don’t think we will ever reach a point where war does not exist. As much as I hate war and conflict, it is sadly a part of life.

 @9HDYNFKfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

never. human's will always fight for more power, until they realize God is all that matters

 @9HDXGCGfrom British Columbia  answered…12mos12MO

There is no need for war. Conflict and fighting is never the best way to solve a problem, but there are leaders of the world with different values and may think otherwise. So, no, humanity may never reach a point where there is no war, as there will almost always be a handful of people who think that force and violence is the best way to solve things.

 @9HCZV68from Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

No because as long as there is greed and its mixed with intelligence, someone will be able to start a war.

 @9HDP947Liberalanswered…12mos12MO

Though it's an aspirational objective, creating a society free of violence is a difficult and demanding undertaking. Positive outlooks highlight developments in global interconnection, technology, and diplomacy. Difficult global concerns, political interests, and historical patterns are some of the challenges. Notwithstanding these obstacles, major advancements may be achieved by fortifying international institutions, preventing conflicts, and promoting peacebuilding.

 @9JYG2DVfrom British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

no war is a natural instinct to humans, as much as its a horror on mankind it only ends when humanity does

 @9JZSGZCfrom British Columbia  commented…9mos9MO

Who said war is a natural instinct and we are not humane. Profit, greed , religion and fear fuel war. It’s not an instinct.

 @9K4H6WCfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

No. Humans were built to destroy and always will find an excuse to keep making bigger bombs,bigger bullets,bigger guns and bigger egos. War will never stop,If we ever find ailens I am certain that someone would try to start a war with them.

 @9KC67NRLibertarian from British Columbia  agreed…9mos9MO

There will always be some bad apples in the basket, to even try to achieve a world where there is no violence is to chase a utopia, and chasing utopias almost always ends up creating dystopias.

 @9JTQMJ7from Manitoba  answered…10mos10MO

No not with the world leaders we have, but maybe some time in the far away future we could

 @9JVS3RHfrom Ontario  disagreed…10mos10MO

I can understand why someone might feel that way, especially considering the current world leaders. However, it's important to remember that leaders change over time, and new leaders may emerge with different perspectives and approaches to global issues. Additionally, societal progress and advancements in technology can also play a role in shaping a more peaceful future. While it may seem far away, it's always worth holding onto hope and working towards a world without war.

 @9J2W6M6from Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

No. War is inevitable. Ever since the very first humans, there has been war. The only thing that could every STOP wars. Is genetically engineering the human species to be "kinder"

 @9J4FZTDfrom Alberta  agreed…10mos10MO

There will always be some people who disagree with each other, as long as we have separations of countries, people are greedy and will want to expand their land. Everyone has their own religions, beliefs, political stances and so we will never truly be rid of these clashes.

 @9K4JB7Nfrom British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

I think that war is inevitable as those who are greedy or want something may go through extreme effort to obtain it no matter how at peace the world is i dont think the possibility of there being no war is very real

 @9K9Z4NBfrom Ontario  agreed…9mos9MO

For as long as humans have been roaming, there have been disputes and wars between tribes, territories, etc. With the increase in weapons of mass destruction and exponentially increasing army strength, the effects of war are being felt at a global scale compared to when it was simply bows and arrows and spears and knives. And with globalization and the invention of planes and oversea ships, tankers, submarines, it becomes so much easier to initiate cross continental war. Transportation continues to only get better and stronger and more funding is being put into the army and military services so no, I don't think the human race will ever reach a point where war is obsolete.

 @9K3PDCQfrom British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

I hope so, we need a time where we can resoulve our problems with words, not weapons.

 @9K6X5F4Liberalfrom Alberta  disagreed…9mos9MO

Human beings are subject to dangerous mentalities. We live in a deeply insecure world filled with those who need to cause harm to feel more secure. War will always be a part of our lives because there is no way to force certain people to adopt a pacifist mentality. It's overly optimistic and unrealistic.

 @9JYWVGQfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

I don’t think humans will ever reach a point where war is obsolete because we don’t even understand that right now and there are constant wars + the weapons that we have now lead me to believe that we are gonna kill ourselves before we can ever reach that point

 @9K5RXGHLiberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…9mos9MO

I don’t think war will be the end of the world that is why I disagree, though I agree that war will never be obsolete

 @9JLL7K4from Nova Scotia  answered…10mos10MO

War is eternal, so long as there is something to gain from it. The only way war becomes obsolete is with a global government ruled under 1 leader and even then; wars will persist in new ways

 @9JP7VGFfrom British Columbia  disagreed…10mos10MO

War will always happen if there is something to gain from it, war will only become obsolete when there are enough guidelines and safety measures in place to make it impossible to start a war, but then people will find other ways to war against each other.

 @9K6LLJPfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

Hopefully war will never happen and there won't be a time where world war 3 happens.

 @9KF8QLZLiberalfrom Alberta  agreed…9mos9MO

I feel a war is going to come soon, the way the government handles things now is shocking, for example in palastine there is 1000s of people getting killed in horrible ways and nobody is doing anything about it.

 @9K6LKQTfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

I think that eventually war will be obsolete because it seems to be a never ending cycle of violence that usually proves to be useless as it is often just war over people wanting more and or simply holding judges.

 @9KDKYS6from Ontario  disagreed…9mos9MO

Hatred will never reach extinction. Whether it is difference in religion, policies, desire for more land, or racism, there will always be conflict between nations and people.

 @9K5R4VQfrom British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

no. we've been having war since the dawn of our species, practically. even in the animal kingdom they have what you could call wars. when two creatures want something, they will claw each other's eyes out to get it.

 @9KCLGR9from Ontario  agreed…9mos9MO

yes, war is a heinous, imperial tactic that has no place in human relations and with sufficient empathy and communication can be avoided.

 @9K4M34Nfrom British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

No, violence will always be around however I think we're able to drastically reduce the effects of war by reacting to disagreements in a calmer way

 @9KBHG66from Ontario  agreed…9mos9MO

War will never go away as many tend to see violence as the only option and prefer it. We need to educate and create policies to ensure violence is not used

 @9JYFJQ2from Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

yes i belive that we will reach that point in the future

 @9K5J8F3from Ontario  disagreed…9mos9MO

Stopping all wars is tough because conflicts arise from different problems like fights over resources or power. So, making war completely obsolete is not easy.

 @9JTJ58Kfrom Manitoba  answered…10mos10MO

No. While I believe pacifism may feel correct, it’s simply far too idealistic. I find it very doubtful that we will ever reach a point where war is obsolete.

 @9JWNH3Kfrom British Columbia  agreed…9mos9MO

Greed is a basic human emotion. We will always want more, whether it be land, money, or even just pride.

 @9JBP3VP from Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

I do not believe that humans will reach a point where war is obsolete.

 @9JJX4MMfrom Nova Scotia  disagreed…10mos10MO

I would hope that one day the world is something that is not thought of, but unfortunately I don't think I will see the day that people speak to each other before they act.

 @9J8R9BDfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

I do not believe that humans will ever reach a point in which war will be obsolete, as a lot of nations gdp come from defense contractors and weapons manufacturing facilities in conjunction with the shear amount of ideological differences in the world, I believe it is clear that humans will always find a reason they see just to kill one another.

 @9JGF6WPfrom Ontario  agreed…10mos10MO

1) Technological Advancements in Warfare
2) Psychological and Societal Factors
3) Economic Interests in the Military-Industrial Complex

 @9J4PZFKfrom British Columbia  answered…10mos10MO

No, people will always disagree with one another and cause fights

 @9J7RKCTfrom Alberta  agreed…10mos10MO

From my perspective it seems like if someone is left wing they do not accept any right wing thoughts as they believe it is too old school and right wing resists a lot of change too.

 @9K7SXGFfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

No. History repeats itself all the time. War will always exist because we are humans. War will exist for all kinds of reasons such as self defense, greed, gaining property etc. It is in our nature to seek war.

 @9KF238Rfrom Ontario  agreed…9mos9MO

Perspective: The prevalence of diplomatic solutions and conflict resolution mechanisms illustrates a commitment to resolving disputes without resorting to war.

 @9K5RXGHLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

No, it may stop happening but war will never be obsolete if it ever happens it will always be a huge thing

 @9KBD7SZPeople’sfrom Quebec  agreed…9mos9MO

Fighting is part of human nature, from youngest child to the oldest adult, the instinct to survive out weighs all moral reason.

 @9K446FRfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

Unfortunately, I don't think we will reach a that point, at least not for awhile. There's too many disagreements between world leaders and many of them are "pro-war" and have gained supporters who are also pro-war. So unfortunately I think this will be an issue for many more decades, centuries even.

 @9KBGZHYfrom Ontario  agreed…9mos9MO

The war and concept of war is belong less respected throughout generations and I do beleivethat he will slowly more away from war, but people are angry and war does want to continue.

 @9K3Q4DYfrom British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

No, because there will always be someone who hates someone for something that they have, as well as history has repeated itself many times.

 @9K5R4VQfrom British Columbia  agreed…9mos9MO

we have tried for decades to get along, but no matter what we do it never works. history seems to always repeat itself.

 @9JRNSQKfrom British Columbia  answered…10mos10MO

As great as no war would be, I don't think the human race will ever reach a point where war is completely gone.

 @9JW4XH9from Alberta  agreed…9mos9MO

because our world does not figure our issues or solve them, they get pushed away until someone in power starts something

 @9K4PXPWfrom British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

no, war has been so deeply integrated in our history it seems.

 @9K9DH57from Alberta  disagreed…9mos9MO

There have been massive strides in international peace over the past century that have put the human race further towards achieving true world peace.

 @9K3QDX5Conservativefrom British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

no maybe we can in the human race but not with extra terrestrials

 @9K7ML3FGreendisagreed…9mos9MO

Impossible to have everyone agree on something. Will always be conflicts, and those who will stand behind their beliefs at all costs.

 @9JVNDR7from Manitoba  answered…10mos10MO

I don't think that there will ever be a time when the human race will experience complete world peace

 @9JXPF8LLiberalfrom British Columbia  disagreed…9mos9MO

As long as there are humans with different mindsets and goals about the future there will never be world peace.

 @9JVLNT8Conservativefrom Alberta  answered…10mos10MO

No because there will always be a difference in opinions

 @9JWLH89Conservativefrom British Columbia  agreed…9mos9MO

There will be people who have the same opinion on something, but there will always be people who have an opposite opinion, which could lead to more issues snd debacles.

 @9JV9RQKfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

lol one can only wish. we will never eliminate radicals and their issues and intense beliefs

 @9JWS8VNfrom Alberta  disagreed…9mos9MO

No there will always be people who think that they are right and everyone else is wrong even if they harm everyone else.

 @9J8L9H4from Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

No. Sometimes swift and strong military action is the only way to snuff out aggressive foreign powers who threaten global diplomacy.

 @9JFNKMBConservativefrom Ontario  agreed…10mos10MO

Prior to WW2, Germany was allowed to break treaty’s invade neighboring countries as the allies stood by and did nothing. Had they taken decisive action early on, millions of lives would have been saved.

 @9K5TPYYLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

I don't belive so, It could happen, Some people are very mean and wont really stop it. It is becoming less Frequent but it will never go obsolete
