Causes Of Warfare Assignment 3: Causes of War NOTE: *in parts A and B, Keegan is quoted unless otherwise noted *in part C quotes and figures are taken from Al J. Venter’s “A Scarcity of Water May Lead to War,” in War. In my opinion, war is very human. Just look at the games we play. Most popular sports pit two enemy sides against each other in a battle for victory. Sports serve to satisfy our aggressive impulses, while war metaphors are abound. Football, Hockey, and Boxing are extremely violent sports, just to name a few. We swing, punch, tackle, hit, injure, and win or lose for fun. Teams brawl. Kids play with toy guns and pretend to kill each other. Why would we play war, if somewhere inside we didn’t want to fight it' But this is all my opinion. There’s people with degrees who got the facts (but still can’t agree). A) War, but more so aggression, has been related to human nature biologically. “Aggression is a function of the lower brain, amenable to control by the higher brain.” However, while scientists have found hormones (testosterone), chemicals (serotonin), and regions of the brain that effect aggression, Keegan feels that neurology hasn’t made clear how water, war, aggression, while, israeli, groups, fight, brain, sports, scarcity, said, population, play, people, peace, keegan, just, human, world, victim, two, there’s, survive, struggle, resources, regions, percent, organize, opinion, mubarak, middle, lot, life, israel, inside
