Warfare… an Invention?
Margret Meads argues that war in an invention. Although, I see her reasoning, I do not agree with her argument. Warfare is not an invention, but who is to say whether war can be analyzed by untruths and undocumented ways of life.
First of all, to summarize the meaning of "…warfare of the sort is an invention like any other of the invention…such as writing, marriage, cooking our food…" (Pg.1 rubric). She is basically but most importantly, confidently suggesting that war is an invention; which she does give good reasoning for but is not supported by any substantial means. I argue that war is only a natural and overblown way of life, which Meads would probably categorize as a "sociological inevitability" (pg 1). As she tried to convey her point of view with fancy words and lingual techniques she really didn't go into why or how anything can be invented nor did she disprove any other option. For example, she talks about the Eskimos but even within the Eskimo culture there still may be violence.
Secondly, what does Meads mean by "war" War does not just mean guns and blood, but any type of serious open conflict can be considered war. Many couples have fights and complications hence did someone invent this war between husbands and wives? War is "invented" not by the choice of civilization and its surroundings but inherited by our souls, which can be even healthy at times. I do believe that war keeps modernizing itself as time goes on in the most destructive and power-driven ways but I the word War was invented not the actual act itself.
