Understanding Conflict: Why Ethnicity, Religion, and Ideology Are Means, Not Causes – 075/100 –

Diary

Today I read that book, “How can we stop conflicts?” I agree with that statement below.

“ Differences in ethnicity, religion, and ideology are not the fundamental ‘causes’ of conflict, but rather the ‘means’ by which conflicts are exploited.”

I think that Catastrophic tragedies occur when actors seeking to achieve their own aims exploit these means and draw in people belonging to those groups.
I believe there’s nothing that should be gained at the expense of another’s happiness.
