Feedback February 16-20 - World War III ???

Do you think there will be a World War III in your lifetime?

• If you don’t think WWIII will occur please explain why you feel this way. What structures are in place that will prevent WWIII from happening?
• If you do think WWIII will happen what will be the causes? Which nations will be on each side? Where will it be fought? What will be the net effect?

I think that WWIII is most unlikely to occur because people know how to negotiate and understand other people's point of views. Back in the beginning of 1900's, competition between powerful countries was intense, and the idea of war was viewed with less concern at that time. There were clearly two major conflicts between strong countries; democratic capitalism and communism. When ever there was a conflict between two big countries, they never tried to negotiate because war was thought to be the best solution to become more powerful even though lots and lots of people would suffer from it. High nationalism and greed made the people proud and selfish, thinking that there country is the best and the rest, uncivilized and unworthy.
But now, there are many organizations to prevent war and conflicts because most people know that war would only bring hatred and destruction. A lot of people now live abroad in a totally different environment, trying to learn and understand about others. More people now understand that difference does not mean the quality of one's value. If some country would start a fight, the more educated countries or richer countries would sometimes come in between and stop the war.
