Conflict over scarce resources and overcrowding, leads to increased levels of warfare. What would I say about this when I'm against global peace. I think to help me understand this entire concept of the essay I need an example sentence on how to state my point. I'm just so confused right now.
I understand your confusion. You've been assigned (or chosen?) an extremely untenable position.
You could defend warfare by stating that the strongest would get the scarce resources and land for its people. Adolf Hitler convinced the German people in the 1930s that they were superior and so deserved the land and resources of other European countries.
We were assigned this position. So I would state that overpopulation leads to increased levels of warfare. I still don't understand what my reasoning would be since i'm against global peace. When I attack this essay is it that since i'm against global peace i'm for war? I'm having a hard time figuring this out.
Yes. If you're against global peace, then you're in favor of war. War usually results when one group feels that the resources and land of another group is rightfully theirs.
So would this be the way to write one of my points.Overpopulation leads to increased levels of warfare. This causes the strongest people to get the scarce resources and land for its people. But how does the world peace fit in?
Sorry this is still Kara
The strongest people go to war to get these resources. If we had global peace, then they wouldn't go to war and wouldn't get another countries resources and land.
If you are writing an essay taking a stance against global peace, you could state your point as follows:
"The intertwining issues of scarce resources and overcrowding serve as catalysts for heightened levels of warfare, thereby illuminating the inherent futility and impracticality of global peace as an idealistic aspiration."
To further explain this concept, consider the following explanation:
1. Research the impact of scarce resources:
Examine case studies, historical events, or statistical evidence that demonstrate how competition over limited resources (such as water, oil, land, minerals) has historically led to conflicts and wars. Highlight the notion that when resources are scarce, nations may resort to aggressive means to secure their own interests.
2. Investigate the consequences of overcrowding:
Explore examples of densely populated regions or cities where overcrowding has resulted in increased tensions, social unrest, and even violence. Discuss how populations surge and exceed the carrying capacity, creating a sense of competition for essential resources like housing, employment opportunities, and access to basic amenities.
3. Analyze the connection between scarcity, overcrowding, and conflict:
Draw upon existing research and scholarly analysis to emphasize how the combination of scarce resources and overcrowding exacerbates existing tensions and often escalates into large-scale conflicts. Explore the historical contexts in which resource scarcity and overcrowding have been major contributors to regional or international conflicts.
4. Formulate your thesis statement:
Based on your research and understanding of the topic, clearly state your point of view emphasizing the negative consequences of global peace. Discuss how attempts to establish worldwide harmony may overlook the underlying factors of scarcity and overcrowding, leading to an unattainable and unrealistic goal.
Remember, it is important to approach any topic with critical thinking, unbiased analysis, and respect for different perspectives, even when you are taking a stance against a widely accepted ideal.
