Abstract

‘Have Things Improved’ is a very board topic, so I am going to present one side of this question, which is Has War Improved. War is an undeniably crucial part of humanity, since the first records of human violence in a conflict happened more than 10,000 years ago. Ever since then, our technological advancements were based heavily on warfare, such as the Cold War in the mid-1900s, escalated our knowledge of the universe and ultimately, using rocket science, we managed to reach beyond Earth for the first like in humanity. The 3 definitions I will be providing my argument is as follows. Improvement is a wide ranging word, and it is defined in Cambridge English Dictionary as: an occasion when something gets better or when you make it better. War is defined as: Any situation in which there is strong competition between opposing side or a great fight against something harmful. Warfare is defined as: The activity of fighting a war, often including the weapons and methods that are used. By the end of the essay, I would be proving that warfare has improved technologically while war has in fact gotten worse. Firstly, I would be arguing how warfare has improved overtime through modernized weapons and increased efficiency in military transportation. Whereas secondly, I would be arguing how war has worsened in terms of brutality and ethics.
