Since the early dawn of time, we humans have been waging war amongst ourselves. Although brutality and warfare had been tabooed in the current age, the destructive nature of man had not yet been completely "removed". As seen in our pop culture, our interest for action/war films did not diminish one bit at all... Our lust for destruction is also evident in videogames; Although video-gaming had been perceived by many as an aggressive and anti-social hobby, the new and upcoming generations are far more receptive to it.
What most ppl failed to realise is that violence can also be politically motivated and politically induced violence is an institutional part of every nation, namely the military. As a matter of fact, one of the core values of the Singapore Armed Forces, is "aggressiveness" (and not to mention, "fighting spirit").
This begs the question: can humans ever realise its' ( imo, far fetched ) dream of everlasting peace ? What are your thoughts ?
