You believe in promoting peace, diplomacy, and nonviolent solutions to conflicts in order to prevent unnecessary suffering and destruction.
The Anti-War political ideology, as the name suggests, is a belief system that opposes war and advocates for peace. It is a broad spectrum of views that reject the use of violence and military conflict, often promoting nonviolent resistance, diplomacy, and pacifism as alternatives. This ideology is not confined to any particular political party or nation, but is a global movement that has been present throughout history.
The roots of the Anti-War ideology can be traced back to ancient times. In many early civilizations, such as the Roman Empire and ancient China, there were philosophe…

Do you think the human race will ever reach a point where war is obsolete?
@9HFHLXK5mos5MO
I believe that as a race, we will never agree to stop fighting over something. We are a competitive race by nature and will compete and fight for what we want, we will never be able to settle on one answer.
@9HFM5LL5mos5MO
No, because as humans we will always have disagreements, but the goal is to have the least amount of casualties.
@9HFKX9D5mos5MO
Unfortunately, the world has gotten to a point where violence is considered the answer to solving problems of disagreements or strife and this has been the case for centuries. I would like to think that in the future, the human race could find other alternatives for solving difficulties that do not involve violence, death, and war, but alas, I doubt we will ever reach that point.
@9HCR4GVRepublican5mos5MO
I think war will always have to be there, I do not think war will ever become obsolete. There are too many conflicts, disagreements, terroists, and more that lead to the need for war. Sometimes when a country attacks there is no choice but to do everything in one countrys power to defend itself.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Do you believe that your choice of video games, movies, or books can influence your views on conflict resolution?
@9KJZ6DZRepublican 2mos2MO
yes, if you are interested in war movies or books you will be more strategic. in the sense that you will think about it harder. if you like love books or rom-coms you wont think about how to effectively stop a war.
@9KK5D68Independent 2mos2MO
Open-mindedness, critical thinking, and the ability to admit when you are wrong are what is important in conflict resolution. If either one of the parties doesn't have those things, it is very difficult to come to a resolution. Studies show those things are correlated to intelligence, but I don't think they are correlated as strongly to choice of entertainment.
@9KJYTS42mos2MO
I believe that they can offer a differing perspective. Music is also an influence
@9KJYKN7 2mos2MO
No, I rather enjoy playing generally violent games and watching violent movies as well, most of them are along the lines of warfare. But war and violence in the real world are cruel and unnecessary.
@9KJYJXV2mos2MO
Slightly depending on the topics but they don't heavily influence my critical thinking skills.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
When you hear news of a peace treaty being signed, do you feel hopeful or skeptical, and why?
@9KJZQ4BRepublican2mos2MO
when i hear news of a peace treaty being singed i feel calmer about the whole situation because i know that there is other nations uniting with us and we arent completly alone. i do get scared hearing the word war because i know it would be a really big war if it were to happen now.
@9KJYMX52mos2MO
Skeptical, as some treaties don't hold out in the long run.
@9KJYSLJ2mos2MO
Skeptical because I feel as if one of the states wouldn't be trustworthy and be building their military to attack.
@9KJZDL3Republican2mos2MO
I feel hopeful and skeptical at the same time because I want world peace, but I also value the safety of our nation.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Would you support a friend or family member who decided to participate in a peaceful protest against war, and why?
@9KJYPQ42mos2MO
Yes, because I myself do not support war. It is an evil act. We need peace on Earth.
@9KLS5FK 2mos2MO
War is NOT NEEDED. As humanity, we are barely recovering from covid19. We are still grieving loss of time, lack of social communication, isolation, and loneliness. War is NOT NEEDED as it will only extinguish the humans. It would only disillusion humans to think life is full of suffering in disease and war. What kind of message is this to our future generation? It would only exemplify apathy in life and the lack of dream pursuit.
War is also extremely evil. THE MOST AFFECTED ARE CHILDREN.
@9KJZ64DCA Common Sense2mos2MO
yes i would support anyone in a peaceful protest against with war
@9KJYVH32mos2MO
Depends if we really need to get involved or not but overall they can do what they want.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What role do you think education plays in either perpetuating or preventing wars?
@9HVKVQTRepublican4mos4MO
Educate people on the effects of war. If we don't learn about history, we are bound to repeat it.
@9HVKNR74mos4MO
Kids should be educated on how governments work and countries and relations
@9HVL4XLRepublican4mos4MO
I think that education helps with common sense, decision making and lots of other things so it plays a big role in preventing wars because with school, people become smarter.
@9HY4LJM4mos4MO
Education is about memorization more than anything, and there's no evidence that being "smarter" helps with preventing wars, it's more of a generational issue.
@9HXZM5N4mos4MO
wars are created by governments, their is nothing people can really do when the government decides to go to war. The people of a country just become pawns for whatever political agenda they want to achieve.
@9HVL289 4mos4MO
A well-rounded education that promotes critical thinking, empathy, and global awareness can contribute to preventing wars by fostering a culture of diplomacy and cooperation.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How often do we see examples of effective communication and peace-building in our daily lives, and can we replicate them on a larger scale?
@9JBLFB9Peace and Freedom4mos4MO
we do not see a lot of peace in life no more. life has got more bad for people.
@9JBLDZW4mos4MO
We don't see peace-building on a regular day-to-day basis, but they do occur, and yes, I do think we can replicate them on a larger scale, and it would make a good impact
@9JBL2HD4mos4MO
Sadly those pace building things do not work with large systems, most importantly when hatred for nations has been building for years.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
When faced with a bully, how could you disarm the situation without using violence?
@9JBJ22CIndependent4mos4MO
State that the bully's statements do not affect me or cause me harm and report the bully to the appropriate higher authority.
@9JBHW2H4mos4MO
Forget not using violence, I actually love punching children.
@9JBHLGQ4mos4MO
I remove myself from the situation and release my feelings elsewhere.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Do you think that personal experiences with aggression or kindness have a significant impact on one's stance toward war?
@9JHBTD63mos3MO
yes because the way you act towards people can affect the way they act towards you
@9JH9JCL3mos3MO
I hate humanity how ever civilians shouldn't suffer
@9JH9G7J3mos3MO
Yes, everyone has a different perspective on the world and should be able to share their experiences in this beautiful, chaotic lifetime.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How would you feel if you discovered that an aspect of your daily life directly supported a conflict somewhere in the world?
I would change my ways to minimize my effect on the conflict.
@9KPDJ6C2mos2MO
If there’s something I’m doing in my daily life that I can change to make the world a better place, I’m going to work towards changing that thing.
@9KNTJR4 2mos2MO
Understand their opinion on the matter and don't argue over which one of you that thinks their opinion is the only correct one.
@9KPH6QW2mos2MO
I believe that if something in my daily life has a differing opinion then I would explain my side, explain my reasoning, and, tell them why I disagree
@9KNTHD32mos2MO
I would be insanely upset, I do not subscribe to this and it was not my choice to support it.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How do you feel when you see images or news about war and conflict, and why do you think that is?
@9HVRBYG4mos4MO
When I see photos of that stuff, I feel sad about the people who are affected, but in the end, I know that I can't do anything to help.
