Mankind tendsto conquer and control the nature. They want to get a sense ofaccomplishment, but more often than not, they find it’s a so difficult task. Inthe face of nature, human being sometimes seems so tiny and so helpless.2.How should we cope with nature? Can we disregard the laws of nature?⏹First we should realize that the nature is more mighty than mankind canconquer. We should never disregard the laws of nature, otherwise it will takerevenge on us. Instead, we should try our best to know more about nature andfind more ways to deal with the disasters brought by nature. We shouldregard nature as our friends and try to live in harmony with it.3.What do you think war will bring to human being and nature?⏹War will bring heavy loss to people. During the war, a lot of people will losetheir job, their houses, and even their lives. A country’s economy will begreatly affected by the war.

Sometimes, a war might be launched directly because of the naturalresources, such as oil.5.What’s your opinion about the relations between peace and war?⏹War and peace always exist side by side. As long as there are countries andhuman beings, there will be wars of various kinds. War can be categorizedinto 2 types: destructive wars (aggressive wars) and wars of justice(defensive wars). Aggressive war will certainly bring great disasters to theworld people. It threatens the world peace. At this time, we should launchwar of justice to protect the people and give the peace back to the people.Peace is what the war of justice fights for.6.What do you think are the reasons for a war?⏹Political reasons: World War I and II, Civil War in many countries, Warbetween Iraq and Iran, Vietnam War…⏹Religious reasons: War between Palestine and Israel…⏹Territory reasons: War in Malvinas Islands (between Britain and Argentina),War in Cashmere(between India and Pakistan)…⏹Energy reasons: Iraq War…⏹Other reasons: for beautiful woman (Trojan War)…Part II Discussion1.
