I've watched some war movies these days and they are really depressing me. I felt nausea, though I know dead body and bloody scene are fake. I can't like these kinds of movie even if they inspire the morale of the men or our nationalism such as "Saving private Ryan".

We've learned a lot of things from our history, but we are still fighting each other in the real world. I don't want to discuss war and what is right and what is wrong about war here in lang-8. There are just insanity and sadness in war.

I also find war films depressing sometimes, though they can be inspirational and open people's eyes to how horrible war is.

Good entry!

First, great job on your posting Kyoko! Your English is advanced enough that you can have deeper level discussions. Keep up the great work ^_^

In regards to your post, I understand how you feel. When you think about at it, every person that has served and died in a war is also somebody's son, daughter, brother, etc. And nobody wants to loose someone they love. I have had friends as well as family pass away, some in the military, and it's always a terrible experience.

I think Benjamin Franklin said it best-
"There never was a good war or a bad peace."

私も戦争は嫌です
たくさんの人達も同じく戦争に反対だと思います

確かに戦争下では、人の尊厳は無視されますよね

兵士になり人殺しを強制されたり、
女性は帰ってくるかわからない夫や愛人待ち続けます
子供兵士は人殺しが何か知らないまま、人を殺せと教えられますし
戦地で小さい女の子がレイプされたりする事もよくあるそうです

でも宗教や政治が絡んでるから
簡単に戦争はやめられないだろうとも思います

プロパガンダなどメディアを使ったり、
子供を教育する事で社会全体が戦争に導かれる事もあるし

更に兵器を作って売買する事で儲かったりもしますよね
(朝鮮戦争の時、日本がそうだったように)

私達はkyokoさんの言うとおり歴史から学び、
平和にする方法をみんなで考えないといけないと思います
社会が導くまま、多数派の意見を鵜呑みにしてはいけませんよね

社会が一つの目標を持てば、きっと平和になると思います(。・∀・。)

長文、しかも日本語でごめんなさい...
でも私は平和学に興味があるのでコメントさせていただきました

The only people who like war and try to start war are too concerned with greed to care about people. Anyone who asks for that much senseless bloodshed is sick, and very sad. However, sometimes war is forced on you from someone else. Pride, honor, love, rage, anger, revenge....all of these are powerful emotions that can lead to war. Is it right? Is it wrong? I don't think anyone can answer such a difficult question. Is it foolish? Probably, but we are all human, and thus, despite our wisdom, we remain foolish. We all have faults, and we all have strengths. So in a world torn with war and disputes, in a world that has lost the true understanding of peace...we should each strive to love the people around us, to make life better for those we know and care about and to also make it better for those we don't know. We should each strive to help our neighbors. That is why I want to be a teacher. To help make this world a better place.
